Lions For Lambs, the first Tom Cruise vehicle to be released under the actor’s new United Artists banner, has been confirmed as the opening night movie at this year’s Los Angeles international film festival. The film, which premieres on November 1, looks set to spark controversy with its tale of military heroism in Afghanistan and political cowardice in Washington. Lions For Lambs stars Cruise alongside Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. Inevitably a great deal is riding on the project. It is the actor’s first picture since being abruptly dropped by Paramount last year, reportedly over his Scientologist beliefs. (Guardian)
