Rumours began to surface a few months ago that a sixth instalment in the Mission: Impossible series was already in development and now star Tom Cruise has confirmed during an interview with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show that MI:6 is definitely going to happen.
During the interview Cruise said: “We’re starting to work on it now…we’ll probably start shooting next summer.”
Cruise was reluctant to give up any more juicy details and it’s difficult to determine from his comments just how far along in development the sixth movie is but considering Cruise is also a co-producer, it sounds like they’re only in the first-draft scripting phase. It’s also likely that Christopher McQuarrie is returning to write the script.
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation is set to open in theatres today and early reviews have been quite positive. Although plot details for the sixth movie have yet to be revealed, we’re guessing that due to the haste with which Paramount Pictures are moving, MI:6 will probably pick up directly after Rogue Nation.
Tom Cruise might be very busy over the next few years with planned Top Gun and Jack Reacher sequels on the cards and recently he’s been talking about ideas for an Edge of Tomorrow sequel too. Does this man ever relax?
No doubt more news on MI:6 will start to drop in the next month or so.
