We last saw them together in 2008’s Tropic Thunder, but two of the biggest names in show-business could be reuniting once more…

Director Jay Roach (Meet the Parents, Austin Powers) is reportedly in negotiations with Warner Bros. to helm El Presidente, a comedy written by Dan Goor (The Daily Show, Parks and Recreation). Just another Hollywood comedy, right? Wrong.

Mega-stars Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr. are being courted for the film, which could see them playing a disgraced Secret Service agent and a sleazy president, respectively. While it’s important to note that the actors haven’t entered any formal negotiations, both actors sound like the perfect fit for these roles.

Vulture sums up the film’s plot with the following:

[El Presidente] follows an overzealous Secret Service agent whose work-life boundary issues get him reassigned to the inglorious task of guarding America’s worst former president, who is a bumbling sleaze. The job suddenly becomes exciting when a threat is made on the ex-president’s life and they must go on the run.

What do you think of the rumours? Would you like to see Downey Jr. and Cruise share the silver screen once more?
