Christopher McQuarrie Confirmed for MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 5

Jack Reacher director Christopher McQuarrie has confirmed via his Twitter account that he will be directing Mission: Impossible 5! I thought he did a fantastic job with Jack Reacher, and I think he'll do great with the Mission: Impossible franchise. Here's the tweet that he sent out in response to the question as to if he was going to direct the movie or not...

Deciding to accept. “@leeroy_nitro: @chrismcquarrie G'day mateJust wondering if your confirmed to direct Mission Impossible 5 yet?”

The news first hit a couple months ago that Both Tom Cruise and J.J. Abrams wanted McQuarrie to take on the fifth film. This is the first time we've heard confirmation from McQuarrie himself though. What do you think of McQuarrie directing the new Mission: Impossible film?

I guess we all jumped the gun. Here's a follup tweet from McQuarrie...

Attn @empiremagazine Clarification on an earlier tweet: "Deciding to accept" is not the same as "Decided to accept." Might want to retract.
