It seems that Tom Cruise is set to make his next film project the highly anticipated Mission: Impossible IV. The new movie is being set up at paramount Pictures as a ‘go’ project, but it looks as if JJ Abrams will not be directed this time around. /Film quote Deadline who report the news:
Finke is reporting that Ethan Hunt will be the main star of the film, debunking rumors that the character would only appear to pass the torch to a new spy. However, the new sequel is being looked at as a “reboot” to the series. The plan is for Cruise to make this his next film and start shooting by summer 2010 for a tentative Memorial Day 2011 weekend release.
Alias (Abrams’ first TV show) writers Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec are already attached to write the script.
So, we have Brian De Palma, John Woo and Abrams as previous directors for this hugely successful franchise at Paramount, so who do you think should direct the new movie? Answers on a postcard…
