‘Mission Impossible 5’ moving forward, hiring a writer is next step says JJ Abrams
“Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol” was a success so it’s no surprise that another film is planned. JJ Abrams discussed many of his projects in an interview with Collider released on Sunday.

Ethan Hunt and company will indeed return for another Mission Impossible
The “Star Trek Into Darkness” director says “Mission Impossible 5” is moving forward as they seek out a scribe.
“We’re working right now on getting a writer. We’re a minute away from being able to discuss that. We have a pretty cool general idea for where this thing is going to go. Tom [Cruise] and Bryan Burk and I couldn’t be more excited about it.”
When asked about the cast, Abrams didn’t confirm or deny any one castmember.
“It’s too early to talk specifically about that. I will say that there are some ideas that feel like, “Ooh, I want to see that!” That’s all we ever go for.”
