Minority Report: David Lee

According to Spielberg, he and Cruise had been contemplating making a movie together since David Geffen introduced them on the set of ''Risky Business'' 20 years ago. ''I just knew I wanted to work with the guy,'' Cruise recalls. ''Even back then he was STEVEN SPIELBERG. The guy who did 'E.T.' and 'Raiders of the Lost Ark.''' They considered saddling up for a Western called ''Arkansas.'' And then there was that script about an irresponsible playboy who winds up taking care of his autistic-savant brother. ''I was originally going to direct Tom in 'Rain Man,''' says Spielberg, ''but I had to pull out to do the third Indiana Jones movie.'' (Barry Levinson ended up with the film -- and a Best Director Oscar.)
