Not sure it's a good idea...

Tom Cruise set to make M:I4

The Mission Impossible series has gone like this:

M:I1 - Cheesily very enjoyable; that De Palma can really direct well when motivated (8/10)

M:I2 - seems to have killed John Woo's career, and none too soon. Awful (2/10, just for curiosity value of the Australian locations.)

M:I3 - better than M:I2 (well, that was no challenge), but directed by some hack who can't compose shots for the big screen, can't move a camera well, and seems to enjoy sadistic scenes a little too much. 4/10.

Can't de Palma, who admittedly is getting on a bit, make a come back? Or even Tom's pal Spielberg? Otherwise, there's not much hope.
