Foiled Plots And Secrets

Paramount Pictures has pushed back the bow of J.J. Abrams-produced and Brad Bird--directed "Mission: Impossible IV " seven months - from May 27th 2011 to December 16th 2011.

No surprise, production would've had to be rushed through in order to reach the Memorial Day date. Many of the films the studio has set up for next summer are already considerably further along the production pipeline

Paramount's surprisingly packed Summer 2011 slate already includes Thor" (May 6th), "Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom " (June 3rd), "Transformers 3" (July 1st) and "Captain America: The First Avenger" (July 21st).

The Steven Spielberg /Abrams top-secret project "Super 8" is also scheduled for next Summer but hasn't set a date yet, the pic could take up the late May slot left by 'Mission', though it seems more likely to open in August.

Here's the Super 8 teaser as a bonus...



Tom Cruise told Empire that it came down to considering both Bird and Edgar Wright to direct Mission 4

"I dig Edgar. Very nice guy, very smart, very talented, I'd really like to do something with him," said Cruise, "I met Edgar on the set of Mission: Impossible III . Simon Pegg and those guys are hilarious. I love Shaun Of The Dead. It's amazing. But we're working with Brad right now. I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about it but everything's signed... Brad is doing it."
