Brad Pitt In their continued effort to sever all ties with Tom Cruise, Paramount is apparently planning to move forward with the MISSION IMPOSSIBLE franchise with Angelina Jolie-impregnator himself Brad Pitt as head honcho IMF superagent managing a special ops team who create masks so advanced, they even manipulate a person's body type. According to a report on ThisIsLondon.co.uk, Paramount is so desperate to land Pitt, they're willing to shell out more money than any studio's ever given any actor ever (close to 40 million duckets) and if that doesn't seal the deal, they're willing to offer every Paramount executives' first born child and a dowry of orphans to help supplement the Pitt-Jolie clan and ensure an African country's name gets at least a cursory mention on every page of the script. Of course, chances are this is a wildly outlandish rumor (and if it is true, there doesn't seem like a very high chance Pitt would take this role) but if isn't, what do you guys think about it?

In related Tom Cruise news, after only a few ass-kissing sessions, Dan Snyder, the Washington Redskins owner financially backing Cruise' independent production shingle, has agreed to front 200 million dollars for Cruise' future films.

Extra Tidbit: The original "Mission: Impossible" series ran from 1966 to 1973 and then came back for a three-year run from 1988 to 1990.

There will be no Mission: Impossible without Tom Cruise. Brad Pitt sucks, he'll never be like Tom. fuck Brad Pitt and fuck those dumb-asses at Paramount.

Cruise did more than anyone else at paramount getting the mission impossible franchise where it is. He seeked the talent and produced them. This is really damn insulting to what he helped bring to life.

Another reason to hate the Snyder-Dwarf
Brad Pitt - ok, as long as he's not playing Ethan Hunt.

As a Washingtonian, I am required to hate Danny-boy Snyder, the richest most annoying Dwarf on the planet. Now that he's teamed up with one of the richest most annoying "actors" out there, it's like a match made in hell.

Little Known Fact: Dan Snyder owns the local Six Flags and used that power to keep the park open for Tom Cruise and his freakish little family to ride the rides after the normal folk had all gone home.

Go with it...
I'm all for it. The thing that was great about the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE series was the cast constantly revolved from mission to mission with just one guy being the mainstay. Now, I loved M:I the movie because I felt it paid respect to the series (with the exception of the villain) and moved it on to blockbuster movie status.

Now, I loved M:I the movie because I felt it paid respect to the series (with the exception of the villain) and moved it on to blockbuster movie status. But then with M:I2 and 3 you had the same cast with pretty much one member rotating. Not to mention 2 sucked and I heard 3 wasn't any better. Though I do think it would have been best to have Hunt and a character played by Pitt wouldn't it stand to reason that there is more than one IMF team and Pitt's character could lead them? Not to mention he kicks ass in that type of role (Mr. AND MRS. SMITH, THE DEVIL'S OWN, etc.)

Now the real question I want answered (and maybe I've just had the misfortune of not coming across it yet) is when is the tv series coming to DVD?!

What the HECK?
Come on, what is this now. Pitt is an good actor, but TOM is the one that can only accomplish the MISSION. You can't just go ahead and replace the dude. Freakin PARAMOUNT just did that for personal matters, screw you. TOM made PARAMOUNT.

god dammit
this is terrible news, if paramount doesn't want Tom Cruise anymore then they should just forget about the Mission: Impossible series alltogether. Brad Pitt can't replace Tom Cruise, and it was stupid to drop him anyway, who cares about his personal life

Tom Cruise has always been annoying!
From Risky Business to Jerry Maguire Tom cruise has always sucked! I have liked some of the movies he was in but I have always thought that if someone else was in the roll Cruise got it would have been better. Pitt on the other hand is the exact opposite. He has made every movie he's ever been in better. Seriously, name a movie that Brad Pitt put on a poor performance.

Not Gonna Happen
That's not a step up! I'd rather see Cruise and Pitt team up. But that will never go over. Cruise will control that franchise until L. Ron Hubbard himself plays Ethan Hunt.

Personally, I thought Pitt was great in Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which I'm assuming is another benefactor in Paramount's "Let's get the next hot thing and throw out the old trash" move. I'm cool with that.

Who cares about couches?
I dont care how many couches Tom Cruise jumps on, if he makes a good movie, I'll watch it. Its just as stupid to boycott Cruise for silly personal things (like people I know) as to drop him for doing those silly personal things.

I wasn't expecting that news but I must say, I'm all for it. I'd love to see Pitt kick some agent ass.
