The IMF sting operations in the first three movies were downright boring. The movies did not capture the mindbending IMF operations of the tv series. Let the villians be based on todays world politics. Enemies such as Hezbollah, Al Quader, the Russian mafia, African warlords, the Iranian nuclear weapons. No more corrupt IMF agents with Ethan Hunt on the run from the agency. Mission 2 and mission 3 pandered to submoronic teenagers. Adults want to watch these genres also, but not when they pander to teenagers who want simple storytelling and boring missions. The tv IMF operations teased the mind with it's surreal set-ups when they captured their targets. The only aspect that the three movies got right was all the face switching that the tv show was famous fall. The villians in the three movies were cutboard cutout characters with no characterization whatsoever. Mission 4 will need an overpowering villian that would make all the other characters in the movie, including Ethan Hunt look good. If the audience gets a truly sophistcated and visual mission movie then I'm sure Paramount pictures will have their most successful mission movie yet, that will not only pander to undemanding teenagers/ If Tom will do mission 4 pray the the story does not end up with further evil IMF agents.

So personally I will believe this when it basically comes out. UA is an offshoot of Paramount and currently funded with something like $500 million from Merrill Lynch for start up costs. Since Redstone believes that TC cost the franchise around $150 million with his antics and behavior during the release of the last MI movie, it is really difficult to believe he would jump on TC making another one. But in Hollywood, anything can literally happen-if enough money and power is thrown in a particular direction. I think Paramount owns the franchise with Redstone calling the shots.

I've never seen the TV show so I don't know if that's a convention of the franchise but for my money it would be nice to see them reign it in a bit and make it a tense, dark thriller - with some well orchestrated action pieces. If I remember correctly David Fincher's name was being touted around for MI3. That was a step in the right direction. Maybe Joe Carnahan would be good?

I know Paramount cant make a MI movie without Cruise, at least for now. And to be honest with you, Cruise is still huge overseas, especially in asian countries. So would the moie make more with Hugh Jackman? probably not overall. I wonder: Not exactly sure, but I think Paramount and Cruise both have some kind of contract.

Paramount or Cruise? If it is Paramount they should turn it into a James Bond franchise, with the Ethan Hunt actor getting replaced every now and then. Or just to a reboot. The Mission Impossible name is more valuable than the Tom Cruise name right now. How much money would a MI movie make if it starred Hugh Jackman, or Ben Affleck, or whoever, versus what it would make with Cruise? More, Less, or the same? Who owns Mission Impossible?
