... do another Mission Impossible!

When you look at all of the long-running action franchises, they all have a common trend in that they’re variations of their originals. All except for the Mission Impossible franchise. Say what you want about the films, but they’re completely different from one another and aside from Tom Cruise and Ving Rhames, they have virtually nothing in common. I thought this would be the key that would keep the franchise going, but with the dissolution of the Tom Cruise-Paramount relationship, and the fact  it’s been over six months since we heard they were in talks, I’m afraid we might not see another MI movie in the near future. TC and Paramount need to put their differences aside and get this series going again because it will benefit both of them in the long run.

It would be a shame for the MI franchise to die because you know TC has plenty of ideas up his sleeve. I’m an unabashed Tom Cruise fan, but one of the things I love about the guy is his willingness/eagerness to work with so many different directors. I’d love to see where he wants to take the MI franchise next and what director he could get to take it there. When it was said that David Fincher was going to direct M:I3, I was elated. Can you imagine the possibilities with TC and Fincher teaming up for a Mission Impossible film? I would love for them to revisit some of their ideas and maybe team up for M:I4.

the only MI i really liked was 1.
2 was too "Bond-ish" (sleep with the heroine)
and 3 tried to be "24" but was too predictable,IMO.

Mission: Impossible IV Targeted for 2011

News broke last week that Star Trek helmer J.J. Abrams is going to produce Mission: Impossible IV after directing the third installment.

Now, Variety adds that Paramount Pictures is targeting a 2011 release for the sequel.

The trade adds that work on Mission: Impossible IV would inevitably be delayed by the busy schedules of the participants.

Abrams will be responsible for guiding the Star Trek sequel, while Cruise recently committed to an untitled film (formerly called Wichita) for 20th Century Fox that will be directed by James Mangold and co-star Cameron Diaz.

Crap, the original tv series is even better as they have Leonard Nimoy.

Now please cast Sylar as the hero and we'll all set.

Mission: Impossible IV Screenwriters Set

Paramount Pictures and producers Tom Cruise and J.J. Abrams have set Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec to write the screenplay for Mission: Impossible IV, reports Variety.

Applebaum and Nemec spent four seasons with Abrams as co-executive producers of "Alias," and they will script "M:i:IV" based on a story Abrams wrote with them.

"I've been looking forward to working with Josh and Andre again for years," Abrams said. "Their sense of balance between character and action is wonderful, which I know is hugely important to Tom as well. We're off to an exciting start, so, as usual, fingers crossed."

The film is targeted for a 2011 release.

It's A Deal: Tom Cruise In 'MI4' For Paramount

EXCLUSIVE: Paramount Pictures today will clinch has clinched its deal with Tom Cruise to reprise his role as Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible 4. Cruise will produce the film with J.J. Abrams. They are looking for a director, but screenwriters Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec are already attached to write the script. The intention is to make this Cruise's next film and start shooting by summer for a Memorial Day 2011 weekend release. And I can definitively say that, despite chatter to the contrary, IM4 will be very much of an Ethan Hunt pic with Cruise as the main character. Gee, remember the bad old days when Cruise and Paramount parent company Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone were on the outs? Guess that old Hollywood saying is as true as ever: "I'll never work with him again -- until I need him." I hear Paramount is really excited about relaunching the franchise, which has grossed over $1.4 billion globally. “Tom and J.J. are great talents and we are excited to be working with them to re-launch this legendary franchise,” said Paramount Pictures Chairman & CEO Brad Grey. I'm told the MI4 deal has been restructured (i.e. brought down to earth) to make it more like recent Industry tentpole deals where everyone shares the risk. MI4 is being co-financed by David Ellison’s Skydance Productions. Cruise just completed the film Knight and Day for 20th Century Fox with a July 2nd release date. It has James Mangold directing and Cameron Diaz co-starring.


nope, J.J. Abrams is not directing MI4. so that means their still looking for a director. question is, who ?

Releasing it around xmas is a bit weird as its more suitable for the summer but I guess we can wait for a few months.
I think less people will be looking forward to this since there are other bigger blockbusters.. Spiderman 4, Thor, Pirates of the Carribean 4, Transformers 3, Captain America, etc..

It’s been rumored for a while now, so it probably comes as no surprise that Bird has officially nabbed the gig. Or at least, that’s according to Tom Cruise  himself, and he would know, being the star and producer and basically the franchise of, well, the “Mission Impossible” movie franchise and all. Cruise told Empire that besides Brad Bird, who would be making his live-action feature film debut on “Mission Impossible 4″, Edgar Wright was also in contention, but eventually Bird won out, and that “everything’s signed… Brad is doing it.”

So there you have it. It does seem like one hell of a way to make your debut, since live-action is another world entirely from animation, which Bird has been doing since 1999’s “The Iron Giant”. He followed that up with the incredible “The Incredibles” in 2004, and “Ratatouille” in 2007.

J.J. Abrams, who wrote and directed part three, will return to produce the fourth entry along with Cruise. Paramount, who has yet to officially announce Bird as director, has the movie penned in for Summer 2011, which is looking like one hell of a busy summer for moviegoers who love things that go BOOM.


Looks like J.J. Abrams just produce and Brad Bird will be the director. smile.gif

Simon Pegg in Talks to Return to Mission Impossible 4

I guess the rumors were true: “Mission Impossible 4″ really is chugging towards a greenlight at Paramount, despite Tom Cruise’s recent box office  difficulties (ala “Knight and Day’s” failure to get notice). News  has it that Simon Pegg, who co-starred with Cruise in “Mission Impossible 3″, is in talks with the studio to reprise his role of IMF tech geek Benji Dunn.

“Mission Impossible 4″ will of course return Tom Cruise as IMF superspy Ethan Hunt, with part three’s writer/director J.J. Abrams producing. Directing duty on part four will be by Brad Bird (“The Incredibles”), who has been attached to the sequel for seemingly forever.

If all goes well, “Mission Impossible 4″ will be accepting a brand new mission sometime in September of this year.
