It's not INDY IV and it's not HOOK 2: Return of the Cross-Dressing Pirate. And it is not much of a surprise... it's been known for a while now, but here it is confirmed from the horses' mouth. Here we go...
I was reading an article on New York Times Online called "Steven the Good," an article/interview with Mr. Spielberg himself. In it, there is a part where Spielberg comments on his next films. Here it is:
"And then he turns to me and says, "By the way, Tom Cruise and I are officially now going to make a movie together."
The deal was finalized last night. This makes Spielberg very happy. He and Cruise are longtime friends and neighbors but have never worked together. The film, "Minority Report," is based on a story by the science-fiction writer Philip K. Dick. It will be set in the year 2080, in an America so anarchic that the Government, forearmed with the knowledge of murders that haven't yet happened, takes it upon itself to murder the murderers. Spielberg calls "Minority Report" the most cynical film he will have made -- but yes, it has a happy ending, he says, and yes, it's a popcorn movie, "but a gourmet popcorn movie." He'll shoot it this fall in Los Angeles so he can be near his family; "Geisha" will follow in the spring. "
This should clear things up, I think.
