The latest from the "mill" is a doozey and I couldn't resist. The Internet is all abuzz about a story from This Is London, that has Brad Pitt replacing Tom Cruise in the 4th Mission Impossible flick...
Garth Franklin of Dark Horizons picks up the story from there:
The British tabloids...have...a report that 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...
Pitt Stop?
Is "Mission IV" in his future?
This rumor could actually turn out be a good thing. I bet you, if Pitt did star in the next one--it would bring all of those folks who skipped out on the last one, back to the multiplex. Myself included. I hope rumor turns into reality.
