Maybe the fourth time will be the charm. Noted couch-jumper Tom Cruise was appearing on a popular Japanese talk show to promote...something, and let a juicy nuggget slip. When asked about the prospect of a fourth installment of the Mission Impossible franchise, he let loose that he had already begun work on the story, and was trying to figure out how to stage a major action scene in Tokyo.
I was a big fan of the original Mission Impossible flick, but quickly soured on the next two installments. They felt like big budget gimmicks that were sorely in need of a script editor. Not sure who'll be directing this next film but let's hope it's someone who knows how to make solid, grounded spy flicks. Paul Greengrass, maybe?
