Tom Cruise has just got a ‘thumbs-up’ from acclaimed director Christopher McQuarrie (Valkyrie, The Wolverine) to direct the fifth installment of the “Mission Impossible” series.
According to sources, Cruise had made a press release to announce the move. ”I am thrilled to reunite with Chris for the latest installment in the ‘Mission’ series. I began producing the films with the goal that a different director with his own vision would make each one. Chris is an extraordinary filmmaker who will deliver the heart-pounding action and thrills that audiences around the world have come to expect from the ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise.”
Drew Pearce, who wrote the script for “Iron Man 3,” will handle screenwriting duties for “Mission: Impossible 5.” The release date for the movie is to be confirmed.
