Will Smith has been trying to find a suitable project for Tom Cruise and himself to star in, but has so far been unsuccessful.

The ‘Hancock’ actor said: "Me and Tom have to work together. I think that would just be genius. We have been pitching some ideas back and forth and trying to find a movie that will be big enough for both of us."

The actor - who is close friends with the scientologist actor and his wife Katie Holmes- also said Tom is a "warm-hearted" person.

Will has previously said to an online source that whilst he is not a Scientologist, he thinks, “A lot of ideas in Scientology are brilliant and revolutionary and non-religious”. 

Will has also expressed an interest in teaming up with 'There Will Be Blood' actor Daniel Day Lewis. He added: "He is a beast. I want to work with people who are going to force me to bring my game up."

'Hancock', also starring Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman, sees Will's alcoholic superhero character employ a PR expert to improve his image.
