Tom Cruise and producer J.J.Abrams are currently engaged in tracking down one of the most important components for Mission: Impossible 4 – a director. Ruben Fleischer’s name has been bandied about, but there’s another couple of choices floating out there – Brad Bird and Edgar Wright.According to the Heat Vision Blog, Cruise and Abrams have been spinning the rolodexes to interview a number of directors, as Paramount really wants the film before cameras this summer.
Bird might not have live-action film directing experience, but when you look at his back catalogue – The Iron Giant, Ratatouille and The Incredibles as the standouts – it’s clear he can make a great movie full of heart, soul and things that go boom. He’s been trying to get disaster drama 1906 off the ground as his first dip into non-animated filmmaking for a while now, but that seems stuck in budget-crisis limbo. (source: www.imdb.com)
