Mission: Accepted

Apparently, the last M:I movie, Ghost Protocol, was suppose to set it up so actor Jeremy Renner, the apparent heir to all action thrones these days, became the lead. However, that film made the most money out of any movie in the entire franchise, so Tom Crusie is coming back.
I enjoyed Jack Reacher, and Cruse has absolutely no problem being a believable action star in his films, so all this Christopher McQuarrie news sounds gravy to me. While Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol made the most money, I happen to think that M:I 3 is the best of the batch. I mean, c’mon, Philip Seymour Hoffman, baby!
