LOS ANGELES - Tom Cruise is set to star in an untitled thriller based on an attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler at the height of World War II.
Cruise had not intended to star in the project, which was acquired last week by his United Artists banner. However, during subsequent meetings, the project’s director, Bryan Singer, became intrigued by the notion of Cruise as a central figure in the story and offered him the role. Cruise signed on Tuesday.
Production is scheduled to begin early this summer. MGM will distribute. Christopher McQuarrie and Nathan Alexander wrote the script. Singer and McQuarrie previously teamed on the Oscar-winning thriller “The Usual Suspects.”

There's an internet attack that allows attackers to take the keywords that Google advertisers use so that relevant Google ads will show up on pages which display them. For example, you go to a site on Mexico and ads with keywords of "Resort vacation" show up on the side and the site gets a little $$$ if someone clicks on them.<br><br>This is the only use of the term I found that comes close and it resembles something else Hugh was worrying about earlier...<br><br>I haven't seen where it is used to do anything other than disable ads....but it is something to look into...it's just not what Hugh is talking about:<br>
