Simon Pegg has signed on to join Tom Cruise in "Mission: Impossible 3." He will play an ally of Special Agent Ethan Hunt (Cruise).

Directed by J.J. Abrams, "M:I-3" boasts an ensemble cast that also includes Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ving Rhames, Laurence Fishburne, Billy Crudup, Michelle Monaghan, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Keri Russell and Maggie Q.
 
Pegg, best known for toplining and co-writing the indie breakout "Shaun of the Dead," is a veteran of British TV. His film credits also include "The Reckoning" and a cameo in "Land of the Dead."

Said Abrams: "I've been dying to work with Simon since I saw 'Shaun of the Dead.' His comedic skill is remarkable; he's able to be hysterically funny while always seeming 100% real, even when he's killing zombies with vinyl records."

SWEET.  dude, jj abrams is all about the hip british comedy after casting ricky gervais on alias and now this.  he rules.

Maybe this could also mean a guest spot for him on Lost!

Tom's going to have to be on his A-game, Magnolia-style, or he runs the risk of being shown up by the rest of the cast.  So he'd better get his Stanislavsky on and make sure Katie wears her "pregnant" costume every time she goes out from now until May.

EDIT: I just told my girlfriend about this and she said, "The only thing wrong with the movie is Tom Cruise."  Classic.

Now on Yahoo

Edit: ok, I just watched it...PSH fucking dominates those few seconds. Not to draw inappropriate comparisons, but there was a Peter Sarsgaard quality to it, just a bit. Which is fine, they're both my favorite actors right now. That shot of the explosion knocking Cruise into the car was FUCKING COOL. I hope they stick with the spy elements a bit more than the action, but I don't care, it looks great. fuck John Woo.

I liked the part with Tom dressed as the priest. That was cool. 

[matt35mm]

Eyyyyyyyy this looks good.  Go J.J.

It will definitely have more spy elements with J.J.  It looks like this will have everything that I loved about Alias, with better action.

[Kal]

I hope its good... I'm excited for JJ Abrams... and Cruise is the best even though he lost his mind
