4th Mission for Cruise

I’m on the record as saying MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE III was a good, entertaining flick but I’m also on the record as being done with the M:I franchise. What else do we need? I’d rather see Cruise do something a little different. Alas it seems that Cruise is in talks with Paramount and developing a fourth MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE movie. Of course the news is being reported by Access Hollywood and Billy Bush so take it with a grain of salt but they claim they have “sources” that “confirmed” Cruise is “in talks.” Of course talks is always a very nebulous phrase and could mean that some exec said, “Hey Tom, how about a fourth MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE movie?” And Tom Cruise replies, “Yeah, maybe…” Despite all the lunacy surrounding Tom Cruise off-screen, I still love the guy on-screen. Maybe I’m in the minority and maybe it’s because he’s one of the nicest actors I’ve ever met, but the guy could just as well launch a new franchise. Now if they talked about bringing David Fincher back to direct his script he originally intended for the third installment, maybe I’d be behind M:I:IV.
