Tom Cruise revives United Artists...

Variety reports: "Nearly a century after United Artists was founded as a studio run by artists, it’s being reborn under the same auspices.

U.A. is being revived and will be run by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner, with Wagner serving as chief executive officer of U.A. and Cruise to star in and produce pics for the label, a unit of MGM.

In its new incarnation, U.A. will produce four pics a year, a number that eventually increase. The films will be marketed and distribbed by MGM."
