A quick browse of the Internet Movie Database brings up no record of a Tom Cruise-related film project titled “The Few” (which was the name being touted many moons back). Director Michael Mann was slated to be at the helm for this one.

Possibly been shelved altogether?

Probably.
I saw a story not too long ago which said he didn’t have anything scheduled for release for the next 1-2 years.

His image over here isn’t the best right now, so maybe he’s laying low.
