Warner Bros. Chohei Kambayashi 's science fiction novel Yukikaze , and none other than Tom Cruise has just been announced as one of the project's stars.
Yukikaze is a rare Japanese science fiction series that doesn't feature giant robots: after an interdimensional invasion by an alien force called JAM, the UN establishes a special Air Force to drive the aliens back to their dimension, in a secret war involving espionage, clones, and aerial battles with high-tech fighters.
Want a taste of what's coming? There's already a series of OVAs (direct-to-video animation) from Gonzo and Bandai Visual Studios, which ran from 2002 to 2005. Check out a clip of an aerial combat scene from the anime below:

Kambayashi wrote three books in the series, published in 1984, 1999, and 2009. Tom Cruise's return to fighter jets, which made him famous in Top Gun, has yet to be scheduled for release. But will a film where he'll be flying planes give Tom Cruise an excuse to do what he does best?
