IRON MAN 3 Writer Will Take on MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 5

Movie Mission: Impossible about 10 years agoby Joey Paur

Iron Man 3 screenwriter Drew Pearce has been hired to write Mission: Impossible 5 for Tom Cruise and Paramount Pictures. Jack Reacher director Christopher McQuarrie is still in discussions with the studio to direct the film. Crusie is also producing the movie alongside J.J. Abrams who, as you know, recently dedicated himself to developing Star Wars: Episode VII for Disney and Lucasfilm. Pearce also wrote Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim and is penning the third Sherlock Holmes film.

There are no plot deals for the fifth installment of this franchise yet, but I'm sure they've got something pretty cool up their sleeve. I really enjoyed the last one directed by Brad Bird, but I think the first one, directed by Brian De Palma, is still the best.

What's you're favorite Mission: Impossible film so far? Where would you like to see the story go in the fifth movie?
