Tom Cruise vil lave ny "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"

John Travolta skal også være med.

OK! Magazine rapporterer i øjeblikket, at Tom Cruise prøver at få stablet et remake af den klassiske western "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" på benene med ham selv og John Travolta i hovedrollerne.

Cruise fik velsignelsen til filmen af Paul Newman, der spillede Cassidy overfor Robert Redfords Sundance, kun få måneder inden Newman tabte kampen mod kræft sidste september.

Hvis filmen bliver til realitet, kommer Cruise til at spille Sundance, imens Travolta tager sig af Cassidy. Den originale film blev nomineret til en Oscar som bedste film og vandt desuden i fire andre kategorier.

"It has been a pet project of his that has been on the back-burner for years," lyder det eftersigende fra en kilde. "But now he's ready to go, and will most likely happily eschew the enormous salary that he normally commands."

Der bliver tilføjet: "Butch and Sundance is a labor of love for Tom. He was eight years old when he saw the original and it made an impression that has stayed with him all his life. He can't wait to get to work."
