TOM CRUISE & CAMERON DIAZ IN
KNIGHT & DAY
ACTION-COMEDY NOW IN PRODUCTION
FROM DIRECTOR JAMES MANGOLD
LOS ANGELES, (October 13, 2009) __ Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz are now before the cameras on the action comedy KNIGHT & DAY. The Twentieth Century Fox / New Regency co-production began principal photography under the working title “Untitled Wichita Project.â€
James Mangold (“3:10 to Yuma,†“Walk the Lineâ€) directs KNIGHT & DAY from a screenplay he co-wrote with Scott Frank (“Minority Report,†“Out of Sightâ€). (The writing credit is not final.)  The film is produced by Cathy Konrad (“3:10 to Yuma,†Walk the Lineâ€), Steve Pink (“Grosse Point Blankâ€) and Todd Garner (“Paul Blart: Mall Copâ€). Executive producers are Joe Roth (“The Great Debatersâ€), E. Bennett Walsh (“Kill Billâ€) and Arnon Milchan (“Mr. and Mrs. Smithâ€).
In KNIGHT & DAY, Cruise and Diaz have a glamorous and sometimes deadly adventure, where nothing and no one – even the now fugitive couple – are what they seem. Amid shifting alliances and unexpected betrayals, they race across the globe, with their survival ultimately hinging on the battle of truth vs. trust. KNIGHT & DAY is now shooting in Massachusetts, and will also film on other locations around the world including, Spain, Austria, and the tropics.
Also starring are Peter Sarsgaard (“An Educationâ€) as a federal agent relentlessly pursuing the couple; Viola Davis (“Doubtâ€) as a CIA director trying to decipher the true purpose of their high-wire activities; Paul Dano (“There Will Be Bloodâ€) as an eccentric genius behind a revolutionary technology; and Olivier Martinez (“Unfaithfulâ€) as a ruthless arms manufacturer. Co-starring are Maggie Grace (“Takenâ€) and Marc Blucas (“Buffy the Vampire Slayerâ€).
