I was in the X Men boards and someone said something about Abrams doing X Men 3. They said he might have a chance since there is talks of Paramount pulling the plug.
Found something, not a whole lot of info though!

"The Huffington Post has learned that Paramount is considering pulling the plug on 'Mission: Impossible III,' the Tom Cruise sequel that is set to start production later this year.
On the surface, things seem to be moving forward with the film, with production crews scouting locations in China, and the Hollywood trades filled with casting announcements and rumors (was Michelle Monaghan in, was Lindsay Lohan out, was new Cruise love interest Katie Holmes being considered?). But behind the scenes, the studio appears ready to cancel the mega-pricey film."
