PITTSBURGH,None — Goodbye Christian Bale and hello Tom Cruise.
The Hollywood superstar is set to be the next actor to film a movie in Pittsburgh, fresh on the heels of "The Dark Knight Rises."
Actress Rosamund Pike will star opposite Cruise in "One Shot," the crime thriller that likely will be shot in Pittsburgh beginning in September, according to numerous trade industry websites.
Pike, whose credits include "Pride and Prejudice" and "Die Another Day" will star as a defense lawyer for the serial murderer that "Jack Reacher" (Cruise) wants to take down. The film's title stems from the murderer's weapon of choice: a sniper rifle. Christopher McQuarrie, who won the 1996 best screenwriting Oscar for "The Usual Suspects," is directing.
"One Shot" is based on a novel by Lee Child.
