Thanks to Entertainment Tonight, film geeks have gotten their first look at the upcoming action-comedy Knight and Day, starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz  The film, directed by James Mangold (Walk The Line), follows a mismatched couple– Diaz and Cruise– as they travel the world, engaging in hijinks and various misadventures.

Want to know more?  Here’s 20th Century Fox’s official plot synopsis:

An action-comedy centered on a fugitive couple (Cruise and Diaz) on a glamorous and sometimes deadly adventure where nothing and no one – even themselves – are what they seem. Amid shifting alliances and unexpected betrayals, they race across the globe, with their survival ultimately hinging on the battle of truth vs. trust.

The film was formerly known as Wichita, but that title was abandoned following the realization that Wichita is one of the least-descriptive, audience-repelling titles ever conjured.  Knight and Day seems to fit the action-slash-comedy tone the film’s going to be providing audiences with.  As for the footage screened on ET, you can check it out after the jump.

Tonight, only ET’s Mary Hart is with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz on the top-secret Boston set of their new action-comedy, ‘Knight & Day’ — and we have a sneak peek at their sit-down!

After letting loose in last year’s ‘Tropic Thunder,’ Tom shows off more of his comedic chops in ‘Knight & Day,’ and Cameron reports, “He’s so funny!”

As for the overall feel of the film, she clarifies, “It’s not like a wacky comedy; the situations are kind of absurd.”

“It’s a fun character comedy; adventure, romance — I don’t want to give away too much,” adds Tom. “Girl meets boy, boy sees girl, girl sees boy, adventure ensues.”
