Tom Cruise’s next film could have him hearing all our inner songs as the star of comedy, Bob the Musical. The film has been in development since 2004 but it is said to be gathering steam again at Disney, with the Mission Impossible star in contention for the lead role.
Cruise will next be seen in Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation.
The Wrap reports Cruise is currently tipped to take the lead in the comedy, which concerns a regular guy whose life becomes a musical after a blow to the head leaves him suddenly able to hear everyone’s inner songs. Disney are also said to be looking at Oscar winner Michel Hazanavicius to direct, while The Lego Movie’s Phil Lord and Chris Miller have reportedly expressed interest in the past.
