Tom Cruise's bald, paunchy, potty-mouthed alter ego Les Grossman is ready for his ******* closeup!

On Wednesday, Paramount and MTV films confirmed that they've greenlit a spinoff film around on Les Grossman, the R-rated, middle-aged Hollywood producer Cruise played in 2008's Tropic Thunder — and reprised at Sunday's MTV Movie Awards in Hollywood.

Tropic Thunder's director and co-star Ben Stiller will co-write the screenplay.

"Les Grossman's life story is an inspiring tale of the classic human struggle to achieve greatness against all odds," Stiller wrote in a tongue-in-cheek statement. "He has assured me he plans to quote, 'F**king kill the sh*t out of this movie and make Citizen f**king Kane look like a piece of crap home movie by the time we are done.' I am honored to be working with him."
