The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Paramount Pictures is now seeking a new director for the job of helming a third "Mission: Impossible" movie after Joe Carnahan ("Narc") dropped out of the seat because of that infamous excuse - "creative differences". Rumours have already emerged that one of the possible reasons is a possible split with Tom Cruise over the script and direction of the project.

Carnahan came on board to direct the latest sequel in the popular franchise in February 2003 after David Fincher exited the project in favor of "Lords of Dogtown" (which itself is now in Catherine Hardwicke's hands).

Whoever takes over for him on MI3 has a lot to learn quickly (where's Brett Ratner when you need him) - the film remains scheduled to begin shooting as planned next month in Berlin. This news comes shortly after Paramount announced it was shifting the release date of the film by seven weeks, moving it from its original slot in the first week of May to June 29, 2005.

Thanks to 'Z' & 'Joe S'.

Very smart. Avoid Star Wars as much as possible.

Uh, his script wasn't ever used.

 

[Willco]

His script may have been butchered, but it was used.

 

[jett]

As long as they stay as far away as possible from MI2...this movie might actually be decent.

Well if the studio doesn't take a huge shit all over his script, perhaps he will.

 

[Dead]

joke = failed. fuk u guys

 

[Trevelyon]

I got the joke dead, but Alien Ressurection just strikes a raw nerve with me everytime.

 

[Dead]

nah I think it failed because I didnt know the scripts was "butchered"

 

[effzee]

couldnt fincher just come back now? i mean i would rather see him helm the project.

but whatever they do they better not get woo.


ahah it rhymes too...i made a funny.

 

[Escape Goat]

Daman Wayons to direct MI3!!

You can't have a decent trilogy when the 2nd movie is boned.

LOTR = All good movies. Starwars 5,6,7 = All pretty good. Back to the Future = All good. Die Hard = Good. Terminator = All remain fairly good.


Sorry, but Mission Impossible 2 was a creative disaster of a film. Shite acting, shite script shite shite shite.

Fuck MI3, and fuck MI2. And fuck the American film audience for not understanding the plot of the first one.

 

[Dead]

Trilogy != just having 3 movies in a series.

They have to have a running storyline that continues through each movie.


IMO anyways.

 

[Burger]

There is a running theme, Tom Cruise plays an asshat.

What about Indiana Jones?

 

[Dead]

What about Indiana Jones?

I wouldnt consider it a trilogy either since theire developping a 4th one.

if it doesnt get made, id just consider it a series of 3 great films. But probably still refer to it as a trilogy.

I just meant that imo thats what a trilogy should mean.

 

[ManaByte]

Well, there are six Star Wars movies.

 

[Dead]

Well, there are six Star Wars movies.

A sextology???!?!

In these days when words like Quadrilogies are being tossed around, who knows O_O

SHIT, I cant beive this, being the Star Wars fan I am and having never seen Episode 7 DAMNIT

And this isnt great news for MI:3, but there's still a chance it will be good, I hope they try to make it a bit more like the first, and less like the second in which it was suprising to not hear the like utterd "The names Hunt, Ethan Hunt" Because while I did like MI:2 and I am a Bond fan, it still wasnt the best idea to make MI:2 a Bond movie.

:lol

Why the M:I2 hate? I loved that movie. Then again I love pretty much anything I see in theaters so meh

The first M:I still owns so hard

 

[Trevelyon]

I didn't mind it so much, though vastly inferior to the original, it was still a good, loud popcorn flick, though the "Dove-time" was fairly excessive, even for a Woo flick. But seeing Richard Roxborough getting absolutely pwn3d at the end, brought at smile to my face.

 

[Idle Will Kill]

Why the hell did Fincher just decide to stop making films? He is one of my favorite directors, but hasn't done crap for a few years.

 

[Burger]

If 2 cars smash into each other and then explode in a ball of fire then somethings gone wrong somewhere in a film.

 

[Gahiggidy]

I bet the dispute was weather or not the terrorists should be white Russians.

In MI:2 they were white aussies.
