Mission: Impossible Series

January 17, 2010
The original Mission: Impossible film (1996) was directed by Brian De Palma and stars Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt. The plot follows Hunt's (Tom Cruise) mission to uncover the mole within the CIA who has framed him for the murders of his entire IMF team. Work on the script had begun early with filmmaker Sydney Pollack on board, before De Palma, Steven Zaillian, David Koepp, and Robert Towne were brought in. In fact, the film went into pre-production without a shooting script. De Palma came up with some action sequences, but neither Koepp nor Towne were satisfied with the story that leads up to these events.
It was followed by 2 more films.

While in Japan for the premiere of Valkyrie, he appeared on SMAP×SMAP. Cruise's response to the question of whether there will be a sequel was that they are currently writing the script, also thinking about how they will include downtown Tokyo in the plot. In June 2009, Cruise announced that Mission Impossible III director J. J. Abrams will be a producer of the film..
