Tom Cruise shouldn't have anything to do with a HD film.
He's been too busy playing himself lately.
And definitely NOT as Michael. No way.
Nathan Fillion is great but he's not a Michael.
More as one of the wardens or the new FBI guy - Tilly? Have I that right?
Paul Gross is a good choice for Michael. Give him a close cropped beard and a shaggier hair style and he'd be good to go.
Other than the bit about Paul Gross, I agree 100 percent. Nathan as Tilly would be awesome but he's just no Michael. And Tom Cruise is way too stuck on himself (even if he does have some cause to be) to play a convincing Michael or Harry. He does well in certain parts (like the fabulous "Knight & Day") but he can't put himself into a humble role to save his life. That cockiness is certainly part of his charm but it also limits what types of roles he can convincingly play. (And I know, Harry is kind of cocky a lot but he is cocky about stuff other than his supreme hotness, which is what Cruise is so cocky about. So its cockiness but its still worlds apart.)
