Paramount Pictures has announced that they will take Tom Cruise’s hairy, foul-mouthed Les Grossman character and turn it from cameo bit part into feature film subject.

Cruise first appeared as big-time producer Grossman in Ben Stiller’s “Tropic Thunder” in 2008, and was credited as the “producer” for Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards in a number of promos. During the ceremonies, Cruise as Grossman danced with Jennifer Lopez.

In small doses, the Grossman character has plenty of comedic value, but a full-length film? Good luck with padding that script.

That said, this “Risky Business” parody is pretty awesome.
