Brad Pitt will be taking on the 4th Mission: Impossible?

[Duende Verde]

Brad Pitt has been lined up to replace Tom Cruise in the next "Mission Impossible" film in a move that will make Pitt the highest-paid actor in Hollywood history.

An insider told This Is London that: "MI:IV will not include Cruise's character, agent Ethan Hunt. They're considering a brief mention, saying Hunt retired to live a safe life with his new wife. They're set on Brad taking over as a gutsy new head operative who puts together his own unique team of specialists."

Paramount Pictures, the company behind the franchise, ended their long-running partnership with Cruise the other month, whilst a few months earlier negotiated a deal to produce projects with Pitt's Plan B production company. No doubt this report is speculation due to those circumstances, nevertheless as speculation goes this is one of the few that doesn't sound too bad.​

Already posted.That and I could care less about MI movies.

This is quite possibly one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

As crazy as Cruise might be now in days, he IS Mission: Impossible, and it's ridiculous to continue this without him. They should just end the goddamn series already.

smells like bull$hit. The masses weren't clammoring for an M:I2, even fewer were for an M:I:3. They aren't going to replace Cruise with someone who sure as hell has better options than replacing Tom Cruise for the 4th installment of a lame franchise.

 

[cryptic name]

anybody else find it funny tht pitt is replacing cruise, and the name of his company is Plan B?
anyway, yeah, bad move. there is no mission impossible without cruise

I think it would be cool. Pitt plays a better spy that cruise anywas.

I hope not, brad pitt looks like a monkey.

 

[The Shredder]

I dont particularly care for this idea, but I wouldnt be at all surprised to see profits actually go up with Pitt as the star. He's a proven box office draw, so it's not totally out of the question.

Well I'll gladly borrow his 'monkey' looks for a few weeks of bedding angelina Jolie plus any other girl that I feel like hooking up with. Very few men on earth have that privilage.

 

[Darth Elektra]

I like the Mission Impossible movies, I think Brad would be a good agent.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

I was under the impression the Cruiser owns the rights to Mission Impossible.

This is such a stupid story. Nonsense. Cruise takes a hit so simple(ton) logic says Brad Pitt will take over his big franchise. That's just dopey.

 

[batman7289]

it will never happen
but would be kool to see if pitt is a better mi agent than cruise

 

[Iceman]

This seems strange. I don't know if Pitt would want to step on Cruise's toes so publicly.

 

[Hunter Rider]

To answer something said earlier on,ppl were clamouring for an MI-2 that's why it made a lot more than MI-1

Let them pretend they have a Bond in the making and fall flat on their faces...

 

[Agentsands77]

Brad Pitt would be more enjoyable to watch than Tom Cruise, but this is definitely very odd news indeed.

 

[Fenrir]

Wait a minute, is that why Pitt dyed his hair brown?

 

[Boom]

Brad Pitt stars as Brad Pitt in the new action-packed movie "Mission Impossible: But Not For Brad Pitt."

 

[Ebil Gig]

Despite Cruise's being an oddball, Tom Cruise makes Mission Impossible a...Mission Impossible movie.It's like having Batman and Robin in a movie and only having Robin in it

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE was an entity long before Tom Cruise ever decided to make a movie with it. I don't think the film series is entirely Cruise-dependent.

 

[XwolverineX]

Like I said in the other thread. They're both old.

 

[The Kid]

Let mission impossible die.

 

[tzarinna]

I'm not sure which surprised me more,the fact that they're making a 4th or that Pitt is going to be in it.
I haven't seen the last 2.

 

[Fran]

I think three is enough... unless J.J. does this one.
