'Mission: Impossible 5' A Possibility
With 'Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol' already making what analysts refer to as "a metric crap-ton of money" at the box office since its release earlier this month, it's no gigantic leap in logic to assume the franchise is not yet finished. But one movie site is compiling several pieces of evidence into what they believe is a collective sure sign that 'M:I 5' is in the works. A representative from Paramount has been in contact with someone at Moviehole.com (I know, what a name, right?) expressing just how thrilled they are that 'Ghost Protocol' is kicking box office ass all over the world and "they've heard" that Skydance (the company that actually financed 'M:I 4') wants to move forward with a fifth film as soon as possible. Simon Pegg, costar of the last two missions, confirmed in a subsequent interview that the initial plan was to make 'Ghost Protocol' the last film for Ethan Hunt, having Tom Cruise hand off the torch to Jeremy Renner. However the most recent film was apparently so much fun to shoot that this plan "fell by the wayside," meaning Cruise may return after all. Director Brad Bird is being a bit coy as to whether he would return to do another film in the series, opting to joke about ideas for bringing in Leonard Nimoy's character from the original TV series over committing to a "yes" or "no."
This patchwork of "evidence" seems to be doing little except confirming what we all could have guessed. Of course the studio wants another 'Mission: Impossible' film. Any franchise that makes that much money is sure to continue. The only items still in question are 1.) whether Cruise will be back and 2.) whether Bird will be back; neither of which could be confirmed in this story. I will say, having seen 'Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol,' that if both guys are out, I'm not interested. Also, if Bird is out and Cruise is in, I'm out. If Bird remains and Cruise exists, this franchise still has potential. Bird was able to balance the scales and make 'Ghost Protocol' an ensemble effort with every team member bringing a unique personality to the table. If that atmosphere is maintained, something much more akin to the original show, and if the action sequences prove to be as amazing, Cruise need not continue to keep the franchise solvent. The Nimoy idea sounds interesting though. But hey that's just my opinion, what do you guys think?
Would you want another 'Mission: Impossible' with/without Cruise? Have you seen the newest film? Would you want Bird back?

Ok but in MI:5 I want to hear Ethan Hunt say "I'm getting to old for this shit"

Let's face it guys, Tom is 49 at the moment and will be in his early 50s by the time they decide to kickstart MI:5. I agree he brings a certain charm to the film but how long can we really ride that bullet? With every mission so far there has always been a lightness/calmness to each film (with a partial exception to part 3). To make MI5 better than Ghost Protocol, the film makers need to take this franchise to the edge, make it more gritty, raw and a better take on character when urgency arrives.
There's no doubt that Brad Bird kicked De Palma's, Woo's & Abrams' ass in the directors' chair this time around and to have him return will be a delight (cause this guy damn sure has proven he has directing talent). If there is to be a change in cast, Renner & Pegg need to return, because out of all the characters they seemed to have a nice buddy chemistry.

The 4th had a stupid plot and a ridiculous Villain and was still way more fun than all the others before. If they get Renner and Pegg back (and a better script) why not.

I would say quit making sequels, but that's like me saying to stop making so many remakes. Its not gonna stop anytime soon for many reasons. All I will say is this; if the team comes back together, Bird is returning to the director's chair and he is able to have more control over the story & screenplay, I will have no worries.

In my opinion 4 is the only in the series that was as good as the first. Tom Cruise is in phenomenal shape and has really been able to surprise lately. Knight and Day I thought was a lot of fun Valkyrie of course was really good. I thought he was awesome in Tropic Thunder and actually hope the make the less Grossman movie. I have no problem with them making a fifth movie.

I thought Renner was going to continue the Bourne series. I think he's more suited towards that.

The one thing they got right with this mission impossible movie was the fact it was about the team and not just tom cruise, I'm looking forward to another mission impossible movie if they can bring the team work to the front again but give us a memorable villain that the audience will root for the team to beat but give us the suspense that they might lose.
that was my only problem with ghost protocol is that no matter how scary nuclear war is, the villain was just a tool to get the team from one spot to another without any real danger coming from him.

With Ghost Protocol, the series finally became the American answer to James Bond, to the point where I think they could even recast Hunt in the future, and carry right on in the same continuity. That said, Cruise was great in GP, so it'd be cool to see him get at least one more go in the team environment.
