Tom Cruise & Sam Raimi Teaming up for Sleeper

Noticed today that THR is reporting Tom Cruise is looking to take on a comic book adaptation of Sleeper. ReelComix posted an article about a month or so ago that also says that Sam Raimi is involved.

Written by Ed Brubaker with art by Sean Phillips, "Sleeper," which ran from 2003-05, centers on an operative whose fusion with an alien artifact makes him impervious to pain and allows him to pass it on to others through skin contact. He is placed undercover in a villainous organization by an intelligence agency and falls for a member of the group, named Miss Misery.
