J.J. Abrams Will Not Be Directing “Mission Impossible 4”
October 30, 2009 by Julie Bonner
MTV News interviewed J.J. Abrams and asked him if he will be stepping into the role of director for “Mission Impossible 4”. His answer? No. Here’ s a clip from the interview.
Abrams said, "I’m producing with Tom. My guess is, given other things, that I will not be directing the movie."
So, they are obliviously on the lookout for a new director, but what about a new star? There is a rumor that they are looking for someone younger to take over for Tom Cruise.
When asked if this was true, Abrams said, "I don’t want to give anything away yet, but I will say that it’s a story that will feel consistent with the world that has been created. It’s not a reboot kind of thing."
They are still awaiting a script and Abrams hopes it’s really something to get excited about. He said, "My hope is that when the script comes in — the dream would be that we could shoot this soon”.
I am definitely looking forward to hearing more about this movie.
