Sleeper
Now that Tom Cruise has turned over a new leaf, it looks like the actor has also begun to turn the pages of comicbooks.
Cruise and Raimi Wake the Sleeper
Working with Sam Raimi, Tom Cruise has acquired the graphic novel Sleeper for Warner Bros. Cruise is loosely attached to star with Sam Raimi onboard to produce.
Written by Ed Brubaker, Sleeper centers on an operative whose fusion with an alien artifact makes him impervious to pain and allows him to pass it on to others through skin contact. He is placed undercover in a villainous organization by an intelligence agency and falls for a member of the group, named Miss Misery.
The series ran from 2003 to 2005.
While there are sure to be at least a few of you confused about Tom Cruise's involvement with Warner Bros, it should be noted that the actor is not tied exclusively to United Artists; though he is the studio's face. Cruise's longtime producing partner Paula Wagner resigned last week from the banner.
