Brad Pitt to replace Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible

Posted in Random Feed, Pop Culture, Movies on September 20th, 2006

Brad Pitt may be lined up to replace Tom Cruise in the next Mission Impossible film, according to a British tabloid.

Tom Cruise was recently dumped by Paramount Pictures, the company behind the Mission Impossible movies, due to his “unacceptable conduct” in public and the less than impressive box office takings for Mission Impossible: III.

An insider told London Lite newspaper: “MI:IV will not include Cruise’s character, agent Ethan Hunt. They’re considering a brief mention, saying Hunt retired to live a safe life with his new wife.

“They’re set on Brad taking over as a gutsy new head operative who puts together his own unique team of specialists.”
According to the report, Paramount is even willing to make Pitt the highest-paid movie star in history, with a salary topping $52million.

Paramount recently entered a deal with Pitt’s Plan B production company to produce new projects.
