AceShowbiz - Universal Pictures has changed the title for Tom Cruise's "Mena" and delayed the release date of the film. Now titled "American Made", the action film which was initially scheduled to arrive in U.S. theaters on January 6, 2017 is pushed back to September 29 in the same year.
No additional information is available regarding the delay. With the new release date, "American Made" will be up against Denzel Washington's "The Equalizer 2". The upcoming film stars Cruise as real-life American pilot and hustler Barry Seal, who ran drugs in the 1980s for cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar and was recruited by the CIA to run one of the biggest covert operations in history.
The 54-year-old actor stars alongside Sarah Wright, Jayma Mays, Domhnall Gleeson, Jesse Plemons, Caleb Landry Jones, Brandon Stacy and Jed Rees. Doug Liman, who worked together with Cruise in 2014's "Edge of Tomorrow", directs the fact-based action thriller from a script provided by Gary Spinelli.
Brian Grazer of Imagine Entertainment produces the project along with Quadrant Pictures' Doug Davison, Cross Creek Pictures' Tyler Thompson and Brian Oliver, and Kim Rot. The film is financed by Cross Creek, with Universal handling distribution and marketing duties.
