Cruise and Raimi dream of Brubaker's Sleeper

The Hollywood Reporter have news that Tom Cruise is teaming up with Sam Raimi to develop an adaptation of the Wildstorm comic book Sleeper. Cruise might star, while Raimi will produce with Josh Donen.

Written by Ed Brubaker with art by Sean Phillips, "Sleeper," which ran from 2003-05, centers on an operative whose fusion with an alien artifact makes him impervious to pain and allows him to pass the pain on to others through skin contact. Carver has been placed undercover in a villainous organization led by TAO (a WildC.A.T.s villain from Alan Moore’s run). But when the only guy who knows that he is an undercover agent goes into a coma, Carver must question right and wrong, as he falls for a member of the group while rising through he ranks.

Discuss in the forum.
