I’m not certain why Tom loves doing the Mission Impossible movies, but he will have his chance to do yet another one. In fact, Paramount studios wants to do Mission: Impossible IV, with J.J. Abrams, the director of M:i:III, at the helm. There is no word of a script, but it is apparently being hammered out by Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec, two writers of Abrams’ Alias.

I’m sorry, but didn’t Paramount pictures “fire” Tom Cruise a while back after the third Mission Impossible film was complete? Is this way of Paramount saying: “Oh yeah, Tom, you gave us Top Gun and the Mission Impossible series, so what can we do for you?”
