Red-faced to Redskins: Cruise signs film deal with football team owner

TOM Cruise has won a new movie deal with the owner of an American football team, after his high-profile split from Paramount Pictures last week.

The actor’s company, Cruise/Wagner Productions, has signed a two-year financing agreement — said to be worth between $2 and $3 million a year — with an investment partnership headed by Daniel Snyder, who owns the Washington Redskins.

“This gives us the opportunity to work with all the studios and broadens our base,” Cruise’s producing partner Paula Wagner said.
