J.J. Abrams and Tom Cruise are set to co-produce Mission Impossible 4 for a 2011 release in spite of the disappointing box office returns of Mission Impossible 3.
The third installment, directed by Abrams, made 395 million worldwide in the summer of 2006, significantly less than Mission Impossible 1 at 452 million worldwide and Mission Impossible 2 at 452 million.
Cruise’s participation in the project came into question after Viacom’s chief Sumner Redstone broke off the relationship with the star just three months after Mission Impossible 3 opened in 2006.
Thus far, Abrams is not set to direct and no writers have yet been hired to work on the script.
