Paramount, having wisely cancelled it’s proposed film version of The Watchmen (see below), has given the green light to Mission: Impossible 3. I have a lot more belief that they can pull off the latter than the former. Say what you will about Tom Cruise, but he’s insanely focused on producing polished, well-made films, and has a better track record over the last ten years than about anyone else in Hollywood. According to what I’ve heard before–barring changes–J.J. Abrams, the guy behind TV’s Alias, will write and direct this one.
Paramount taketh away, and it givith…
