John Travolta wants to remake classic western Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid with Tom Cruise.
The two movie stars and fellow Scientologists have been friends for years, but they've yet to work together and Travolta admits one recent rumour about a project they were working on wasn't that far-fetched.
He says, "Someone came up with a good idea - it was a remake of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid - and there was a rumour that we were gonna do that, and I said to Tom, 'It's not a terrible rumour, it's not a bad idea.'"
The original was released back in 1969 and was directed by George Roy Hill, Butch Cassidy's balance of drama, action, and humour is a winning combination on its own.
But this excellent tale of friendship and adventure is most successful for its talented leads, who fill every scene with wit, skill, and machismo.
The film went on to gross $102.3 million in the U.S. alone, the film now ranks amongst the top hundred grossing movies of all time.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director. It went on to win four: Best Cinematography, Best Music - Original Score, Best Music - Song and Best Screenplay.
