Because Tom Cruise still hasn’t avoided enough explosions.

… Yep, that’s right. It’s happening. And who’s at the helm? None other than Incredibles director Brad Bird. A good choice? We think so too.

The Incredibles Director Brad Bird is in final negotiations with Paramount Pictures to helm Mission Impossible 4. Tom Cruise is also set to return (well it wouldn’t be much of a Mission Impossible film without the Cruister!) and the plan is to release the film in May of next year, so expect production to start pretty soon.

It seems Cruise is something of a muse.

Brad Bird’s take on the Mission: Impossible series is a daft, big bucks action fest that falls victim to a cheesy script, a little too much fun-poking and one hell of a dreadful ending. But its breathtaking action sequences and likeable performances ultimately make it a rather entertaining watch. And it’s always fun to see Tom Cruise running about.

Tom Cruise isn’t in them…at least, that’s what they want you to think.

It’s back! But in French, kind of blurry, and we still don’t know what’s going on….

The forthcoming M:I film is to be titled Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. As if it could be made any more stupid or pointless.

Back on our screens for what feels like the umpteenth time this year, Jeremy Renner aims to take over from Matt Damon in The Bourne Legacy. Whether life imitates art and the actor finds himself at the centre of another, very real mission impossible, you should probably swat up on The Other Avenger as it looks like he’s undoubtedly here to stay.
