Michael Mann will next direct the DreamWorks drama "Collateral," and he has Tom Cruise in his crosshairs to play the lead role of a contract killer.
Written by Stuart Beattie, with a rewrite by Frank Darabont, the script takes place on a single night. After a cabbie picks up a passenger, he and his car are taken hostage as a killer travels around Los Angeles to conduct his business. Mann has mined the visuals of L.A. streets for "Heat" and the TV series "Robbery Homicide Division."
Mann last directed "Ali," and he and Cruise have been trying to find a film in which they could work together. (Both are repped by CAA.) Filming will start in October.
