BEIJING, Oct. 23 (Xinhuanet) -- Hollywood actor Tom Cruise made his big screen comeback with his Afghan-themed film "Lions for Lambs," which is due to debut on Nov. 9, media reported Tuesday.
"Lions for Lambs," Hollywood's latest examination of U.S. foreign policy, is about two soldiers serving in Afghanistan and political intrigue back in the United States.
Cruise plays an ambitious rightwing senator giving an interview to TV journalist played by Meryl Streep.
The film, directed by Robert Redford and also starring Robert Redford, has been reported by some media as the era's fiercest political debate about the Bush White House and assails post-9/11 foreign policy, especially the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq
"I think that films like this are interesting and important and I think it's anyone's place if they want to do it," Cruise told the media ahead of the film's premiere at the London Film Festival.
"We are free to communicate about anything we want and any subject we want, so I think it's absolutely correct."
The actor also revealed that he had studied some politician for his role as the senator.
"I studied many. I'll never tell exactly who, but there's many months of research that went into this character to not make him into a caricature but into a human being with real problems and to reflect that idea."
I predict a dog office dog.
