I can only repeat again what I've been told by a fellow who's been very close to the development of Edwin A. Salt, to wit: Tom Cruise wasn't bumped by Angelina Jolie for the lead role -- he hadn't committed to signing because he didn't feel comfortable about playing a character who, he felt, was too close to his Ethan Hunt character from the Mission Impossible films. I'm not saying that other factors didn't come into play as well, but this is what I've heard from a guy in a position to know.

Makes sense to me, I really wondered what Cruise was doing making another spy film

Great. More Grrrrrlll Power.
Remember when it was hot / cool to see a sexy girl beat the shit out of a bunch of big guys in "The Matrix"? You know, before it became a cliche?

I'd buy this if there was anything resembling "character" to Ethan Hunt. Watch those three movies and tell anything about him other than massively vague concepts like "smart."

Walter, it's no more of a cliche than the scores of men who are decades into careers where all they do is look hot / cool and beat the shit out of a bunch of bad guys,

Cruise should do more comedy. He killed in Tropic Thunder.

Regarding Jolie's The Changeling,
THIS story sounds like a better story / alternate to The Changeling:
