JUST show Tom the money!
Big-screen superstar Tom Cruise may be taking his 1996 blockbuster “Jerry Maguire” to the small screen.
Friends of the 50-year-old “Mission: Impossible” hunk say he “borrowed” the idea from comedian Eddie Murphy, who’s planning to turn his popular ’80s film franchise “Beverly Hills Cop” into a TV series for CBS.
“Tom’s so intrigued by Eddie’s return to his signature role that he’s been exploring opportunities to revive some of his own big characters in a similar fashion,” a source told The ENQUIRER.
Tom originally wanted to revive his 1986 Maverick character from “Top Gun,” but shelved that idea after its director Tony Scott jumped to his death from a San Pedro, Calif., bridge in August, says the source.
