The Heat Vision Blog is reporting that none other that The Incredibles and Iron Giant helmer Brad Bird is in contention to direct the fourth movie in the Mission: Impossible franchise.
Tom Cruise and JJ Abrams have apparently met with various directors about the project, which will roll into production this summer for a May 27, 2011 release.
If he does indeed helm the movie, Bird will follow the likes of Brian De Palma, John Woo and JJ Abrams in the director’s chair.
Andre Nemec and Josh Appelbaum have written the script for Mission: Impossible IV, which is housed over at Paramount Pictures.
