The stalled production of the Hollywood romantic comedy "Lost for
Words" might get a jumpstart with the possible addition of Tom Cruise
to the cast. Universal Pictures, which is producing the film, reportedly invited
the Hollywood star to step in as the lead to fill the vacancy left by
British actor Hugh Grant. After Grant's departure, Zhang
Ziyi, the lead actress in the film, returned to China to shoot another
film. According to media reports, Universal is currently contacting Tom Cruise on the contract. Susanne Bier, the Danish filmmaker and former
Oscar nominee, will direct the movie.
