Spielberg’s Secret Cruise Project

Doing the publicity rounds for his current film Minority Report, Steven Spielberg revealed that he's already planning another movie with Cruise. Speaking in a Q&A session following the filming of The Oprah Winfrey show, Spielberg told Oprah that she was the first person to be told. 'Right now Tom and I are working on a secret adventure project... and you're the first to hear about it.' The director also confirmed that he would be producing, but not directing Memoirs of a Geisha. 'It has a wonderful director,' he said, 'but it hasn't been announced officially, so I can't really say who it is. Here's the reason why I'm not directing it. I spent 3 years working on the screenplay with two writers... I feel like I've already made the movie and now it's time to let it go.' Speaking of his next project, the fourth Indiana Jones movie, Spielberg joked that; 'Remember when Harrison said in the first movie, 'It's not the years, sweetheart it's the mileage. Now we're going to have to say, 'It's not the mileage, it's the years.' As for when we could expect to see the fourth movie, he said, 'It'll come out in 2005.' Finally, in answer to a question from the audience about why it seemed Hollywood had predicted the September 11 tragedy, Spielberg said that although he wasn't approached to meet with the US government following the attack, 'I know that colleagues of mine went to some of these meetings with George Bush's staff. And they were approached because Washington doesn't have the kind of imagination that Hollywood has. 'What happened with the World Trade Centre they feel was something only Hollywood would have done. And I think it was so outrageous that some of the government lobbied to get some of the screenwriters and those people with the imagination to say what will the next target be for the terrorists
