Brad Bird to direct Mission:Impossible 4

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".

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.

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.
