OFFICIAL: Chris McQuarrie Signs On To Helm MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 6
"Mission: Accepted" - Just like that, Christopher McQuarrie is back on board to write, direct, and produce another Mission: Impossible adventure with Tom Cruise. Come check it out!
Earlier today, Christopher McQuarrie, director of the critically acclaimed Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, confirmed that he will return for the upcoming sixth installment in Tom Cruise's long-running Mission: Impossible franchise.
Variety first broke the news that he was in talks with Paramount Pictures to pen the highly anticipated action sequel nearly two weeks ago, but weren't able to confirm at the time whether or not he would actually sit in the director's chair again. Now, The Hollywood Reporter has learned he will indeed direct the film along with writing and producing (with Cruise). McQuarrie now becomes the first director in the history of the franchise to helm a second Mission.
Mission: Impossible 6 is expected to kick off production in August 2016, although that date is subject to change. Franchise star Tom Cruise will return as Ethan Hunt and there is a relatively good chance we see at least a few returning faces, including Jeremy Renner, Rebecca Ferguson, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Alec Baldwin, Paula Patton, and/or Maggie Q in the follow-up to Rogue Nation.
Check out McQuarrie's tweet below:
So, what do you guys think? Excited for the next Mission? Sound off with your thoughts below!
With the IMF disbanded, and Ethan (Tom Cruise) out in the cold, the team now faces off against a network of highly skilled special agents, the Syndicate. These highly trained operatives are hellbent on creating a new world order through an escalating series of terrorist attacks. Ethan gathers his team and joins forces with disavowed British agent Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), who may or may not be a member of this rogue nation, as the group faces their most impossible mission yet.
