Tom Cruise Reveals the Title for the Next 'Mission: Impossible'

Another day, another movie title revealed. This time, it's the title for the fourth Mission: Impossible film. It won't be called MI 4 but rather Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol. Hopefully this film will be high in deceptive plot twists and explosions, and low in the Tom Cruise-crazy factor. Cruise is of course signed on to play Ethan Hunt. Co-starring in the movie are Paula Patton, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, and Josh Holloway. Brad Bird (Incredibles) is directing. Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol will hit theaters December 16, 2011.

Tom Cruise Signed On for 'Mission Impossible IV'

Tom Cruise will again star as Ethan Hunt in the latest installment of Mission Impossible. He will also be producing the film, along with J.J. Abrams, the director of M:I3. The film is set to be released over Memorial Day weekend 2011.

There had been some speculation than Cruise would play a smaller role, making way for a new, younger star. However, he is not handing his starring role over to anyone in this one. (Ahem, ego.)

Mission: Impossible IV should still prove to be an exciting action thriller, with more twists and turns than an episode of 24.
