Cruise & RDJ Team For El Presidente?

Jay Roach is in talks to direct the action comedy "El Presidente" reports Vulture.

"Parks and Recreation" producer and writer Dan Goor pens the story of an overzealous Secret Service agent whose work-life boundary issues get him reassigned to the inglorious task of guarding America's worst former president, a bumbling sleaze. The job becomes exciting when a threat is made on the ex-president's life and they must go on the run.

The studio is planning to offer the role of the agent to Tom Cruise since he is officially attached to star in and produce the film and the former President to Robert Downey Jr .

Sounds like a lot of fun....Cruise had a great cameo in Roach's 2002 sequel Austin Powers in Goldmember --one of the film's only bright spots really.


Some years ago Jack Nicholson was in line to play the Prez opposite Cruise
