Tom Cruise is in talks to star in the upcoming Phillip Noyce movie, 28th Amendment.

According to Moviehole, the ‘Top Gun’ actor, 45, will play the US President.

The film will see Cruise play the part of Ben Cahill in the action thriller, which follows the adventures of an American President who discovers the existence of a secret cabal that runs the government; that terminates those that get in its way; and wants him dead.

The screenwriters are Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci, the writers behind Transformers; the upcoming Star Trek flick; and Cruise’s last big action hit, Mission: Impossible III.

“28th Amendment” will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, and will reportedly be released later this year.
