The Fuse Has Been Lit

Writers Josh Applebaum and André Nemec will pen Mission: Impossible 4 says Variety.



The pair served as co-executive producers on four seasons of the J.J. Abrams -created spy drama "Alias"

Abrams, who directed Mission: Impossible III, will return as producer on the fourth and worked on the story with the pair of scribes.

Tom Cruise is back as IMF agent Ethan Hunt.

A Summer 2011 release is being eyed.

Makes perfect sense for JJ to hire another trusted duo on MI4 since his go to writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, are working on a bazillion other flicks right now
