Mission: Impossible is one of our favorite series of all time; we're currently working our way ... again! ... through the 4th season episodes on DVD. And while we absolutely hated the concept behind the first Mission: Imposible movie (though we admit it was well constructed) and thought MI:2 was really rather silly, we did enjoy the third. So it is with interest that we read on The Hollywood Reporter this morning that J. J. Abrams (MI:3's director) and Tom Cruise (the star of the movie franchise) have agreed to co-produce a fourth installment for Paramount for a possible release date in 2011.
Both Abrams and Cruise are busy men and neither mentioned directing or starring in the new film, but THR writes that MI:4 could be written for an ensemble along the lines of the original series, or with Cruise (as Ethan Hunt) acting as a mentor to a new team.
2011 is a long way off and anything can happen in the meantime. Still, we're interested and will be following the story as it (no doubt slowly) develops.
