Seems like Carter Beats the Devil has been in the works forever. I wonder if they'll ever actually make it.

Of the 20 C/W projects in development, about a dozen are potential Cruise vehicles.

i hope they release all twelve Cruise-vehicles at once. that would make for some funny...

Will Cruise Shoot Mission: Impossible 3 Next?

Columnists Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith dismiss reports that Tom Cruise is set on shooting Mission: Impossible 3 next this fall.

Cruise is still shooting The Last Samurai, won't return home from filming the epic in New Zealand until mid-April and only then will deal with what he'll do next.

The duo add he'd like to make a film this fall, but as for whether it will be the third "Mission", apparently there is still no script for the project and no idea when there will be.

I'm not too thrilled with Fincher directing Mission Impossible 3, but if he has too, Cruise better be a part of it. I don't think I'd be able to forgive Fincher if it was one of those crappy sequels with a different actor(or trilogy or whatever you call it).

Hope the Finch uses her for what's she's good at

not to be melodramatic, but if Fincher does MI3 can we remove him from the list...especially following up that Panic Room effort.

According to Harry Knowles, Fincher is off MI:3 and Joe Carnahan, who directed NARC is on.

MacGuffin · February 26, 2003, 09:54:14 AM

Paramount Pictures has tapped "Narc" director Joe Carnahan to helm action franchise "Mission: Impossible 3" following the withdrawal of David Fincher.

The studio is in negotiations with Carnahan over the third installment, to be produced by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner with Cruise portraying agent Ethan Hunt.

Carnahan won strong notices for writing and directing "Narc", with Cruise and Wagner signing on as producers and helping to persuade Paramount to release the film. The enthusiasm over Carnahan's handling of the gritty cop thriller led to his recent attachment to helm the Paramount/DreamWorks co-production of "Killing Pablo", the tale of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar.

Fincher had been attached to "Mission: Impossible 3" since early last year but recently committed to direct "The Lords of Dogtown", centering on the surf and skate culture that took root in the 1970s, for Sony.

Robert Towne remains attached to pen the script for "Mission: Impossible 3". Dean Georgaris, who penned the "Lara Croft" sequel, "Paycheck" and "The Manchurian Candidate" for Paramount, also has been mentioned as a likely scripting candidate recently.

THANK CHRIST!

SO happy Fincher's off.... and even happier Carnahan's on.

How is Carnahan's style? I have not seen NARC yet, so the only exposure ive had to him is the BMW film he made, which if i let myself judge from that, it will probably be like MI:2, since from what i saw in the BMW film the guy has a visual style similar to Woo. (maybe im completely wrong here, as i havent seen NARC so im not fully aware of Carnahan's abilities) So please give me some insight? 8) I too would love to see a darker more serious MI film...
