Overview
- Cruise, reported Wednesday to be in early talks and considered loosely attached, has not signed on to the project.
- If a deal closes, he is expected to play both the CIA operative and his identical double.
- The story centers on an agent who learns Russian intelligence recruited a Brazilian look-alike to act as a mole inside the CIA.
- Paramount and Skydance acquired the Aneesh Chaganty and Dan Frey script in mid-2025, with Ryan and Zinzi Coogler, Sev Ohanian, Chaganty, and Natalie Qasabian producing.
- Chaganty has met Cruise multiple times in Florida and is tailoring a new draft that will guide Cruise’s decision, with the film still in early pre-production and no release date set.
