Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz continue work on their upcoming film, “Wichita,” in Boston, Massachusetts on September 23, 2009. Cruise filmed an exciting car chase and shoot out scene with the help of a stunt double, while Diaz spent time chatting up a handsome member of the Boston Fire Department!  Wouldn’t you?

Joined by dad Tom Cruise, Suri, Connor and Katie Holmes all went shopping at a Boston area boutique on September 20, 2009 where the famous pair treated the kids to quite the shopping spree!

Then later, Katie Holmes takes Suri Cruise out for some afternoon shopping on September 20, 2009 while papa Cruise worked on his latest film “Witchita”. By the looks of it, Suri is ready for her close up as she playfully sports some of mum’s lipstick as the pair walk around Boston.

Tom Cruise is re-teaming with his Vanilla Sky costar Cameron Diaz in Witchita:

At last, the wait is over. After acquiring several intriguing projects, and spending millions of dollars to rewrite them into perfection, Tom Cruise has decided on his next movie — and it’s “Wichita.”

According to Variety, Cruise has decided to pair up with Cameron Diaz for James Mangold’s action comedy. Not only does this end Cruise’s quest for his next project (and apparently it was a close call between this and Len Wiseman’s “Motorcade”), but it’s also a happy ending for the troubled “Wichita,” a film that has seen directors and stars come and go.

Cruise and Diaz both gave their approval to the final script, which underwent a recent rewrite by Scott Frank (”Minority Report”), and is now being smoothed out by Mangold and Laeta Kalogridis (”Shutter Island.”) Variety previously reported that the story revolves around a single chick who has terrible luck with men, but meets a mysterious, handsome man on a blind date. Now we know that the mysterious man is actually a secret agent who pops in and out of the woman’s life. The film also has several new action scenes tailor-made for Cruise, pulling it out of the romantic comedy genre and into something that can attract a wider audience.

Now, let’s hope that the action scenes don’t shortchange Diaz’s character. I’d love it if this was all framed from her perspective, a play on Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible” persona to show the day-to-day perils of actually dating a secret agent. Just think of how many girls would abandon their Daniel Craig/James Bond fantasies after that!

Ruh Roh Reorge!

As far as Brad Pitt is concerned, his new film Inglourious Basterds is the be all and end all of Nazi movies.

“The second World War could still deliver more stories and films, but I believe that Quentin [Tarantino, director] put a cover on that pot. With Basterds, everything than can be said to this genre has been said,” Pitt tells the German magazine Stern. “The film destroys every symbol. The work is done, end of story.”

As for another WWII Hitler assassination movie with a famous Hollywood star, he says there is no comparison. When the Stern reporter mentioned Tom Cruise’s recent turn in a film about a real plot to kill Hitler, Pitt simply said, “It was a ridiculous movie.”

Pitt also revealed what movie he does find note-worthy – even life-changing – Saturday Night Fever.

“When I was a teenager, I saw Saturday Night Fever at our drive-in, but it wasn’t the dancing that electrified me. It was the life and culture in Brooklyn. I’m from Missouri, the southern part of the Midwest in the U.S., and I never heard families talk that way to each other. From that point on, I wanted out to see more of the country and of life.”

Have you seen Inglourious Basterds yet? If so, how was it?
