YOU LOVED him, you laughed at him, now see him crack another impossible mission. Tom Cruise, having battled ridicule and public insult (read scientology) is back in action with Mission Impossible 4.

 
Paramount Pictures "has clinched" a deal with Cruise for Mission Impossible 4 which is to be produced by JJ Abrams. The film yet to get a director is slated for Memorial Day release next year, say screenwriters Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec.
 

Tom Cruise last hit in the Mission Impossible series was in 2006. While his recent appearances in Lions for Lambs and Valkyrie have gone unnoticed, MI 4 is likely to bring back respect in the star’s life.
 
They say that the “plan is to make this Cruise's next film and start shooting by summer for a Memorial Day 2011 weekend release.”
 
Details of the script aren’t available yet, but people who can’t get enough of scientology / Oprah jokes say “it has something to do with saving the world and rescuing Oprah from the enemies of Scientology. Or may be rescuing Oprah’s couch from the enemies of Scientology. Katie Holmes, of course, will have a non-speaking role.”
 
Kidding? Of course, watch out for details as they roll out in days to come!
