Mission: Impossible 5

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=107382

Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions announced today that Christopher McQuarrie will direct the next “MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE” film.

McQuarrie will direct from a screenplay by Drew Pearce, with Tom Cruise reprising the iconic role of Ethan Hunt, who was first introduced to moviegoers in 1996. The project will be produced by Cruise through Tom Cruise Productions, Paramount and J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, who served as producers on previous films in the hit series. Skydance Productions, who served as co-financers and executive producers of the last installment, will work closely with the team in the development and production process.

“MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL,” the 4th installment in the globally successful franchise, earned nearly $700M around the world and became Cruise’s highest grossing film to date in his storied career.

The “MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE” franchise has earned more than $2B at the worldwide box office, making it one of the most successful franchises in movie history.

Getting me to watch another one of these is a mission impossible.

There were 2, 3, and 4 ?

I thought there was only one of these.

4 was the best one of them all. I'll definitely see 5.

:shrug: beats me.

The first one was good but I couldn't deal with making Phelps the bad guy. Two was a bit weak, three was even weaker but four was easily the strongest of the franchise IMO.

Huh. Three was my favorite followed by four.

If they could have somehow married the fun/action of 4 with the villain in 3, it probably would have been one of the best action movies ever.

still preferred 4 to 3 though. that was probably the most fun action movie I've seen in 3 or 4 years.

:barf: End this travesty of a series already. It makes money, but it's absolute crap. I was suckered into watching 2 after the sad attempt of 1. Mistake!

did you watch 3 or 4? both were much better then the first two and 4 was as good of an action movie as I've seen in a long time.

I must be in the minority, but I actually liked all of the films. :shrug:

When 1 sucks and 2 is far worse, I generally don't go back to the well.

that's fair, but if you haven't seen the entire series, it doesn't make much sense to judge it as a whole and condemn it to it's death, does it?
