Pegg Takes on Mission Impossible
July 19th 2010 16:58
Simon Pegg will return to the next Impossible Mission movie. Pegg is working it out with Paramount to reprise his role as the lab geek Benji Dunn. I am excited that Brad Bird will direct. This will be his first "real" movie; he's been very successfull over at Pixar, such as Incredibles and Finding Nemo.
THR is saying that the movie is not officially greenlit, but the movie is tracking for an early September start, and Bird has been reading actors this week.
Tom Cruise is returning as agent Ethan Hunt in a plot whose details are being kept under a lid of secrecy. J.J. Abrams, who is producing with Cruise and Paula Wagner, worked on the story with scribes Andre Nemec and Josh Appelbaum, who have written the screenplay.
If you are a Abrams fan, you’d know that Pegg worked with Abrams not only in the third installment of MI but he directed the actor in the recharged Star Trek, in which Pegg portrayed Starship engineer Scotty.
