Brad Bird to direct Mission:Impossible 4

From BBC News
The Incredibles was basically a Bond film in superhero drag, so it seems quite logical that Bird should graduate to a live-action spy thriller. Actually, it's quite logical that he should graduate to Bond, but as he's not a director of middlebrow, Oscar-winning dramas, that was never going to happen.
Brad Bird, director of Pixar hit The Incredibles, is to helm the fourth Mission: Impossible film, its star Tom Cruise has confirmed.
"Everything's signed... Brad is doing it," the actor told Empire magazine, calling Bird "enormously talented".

Oops, I've just noticed that this story is a year old 
I read it on another forum and assumed it was fresh. Stupid necroposters.

He was in the last one as well. Abrams must be a fan, as he also cast him as Scotty in Star Trek.
