Christopher McQuarrie has emerged as the front runner to helm the fifth “Mission: Impossible” film which is in the early stages of development at Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions.
McQuarrie, who helms the upcoming Cruise-vehicle “Jack Reacher”, is reportedly the guy that both Cruise and producer JJ Abrams want for MI5 which has become a priority for the studio in the wake of the just under $ 700 million worldwide earned by “Mission: Impossible–Ghost Protocol.” McQuarrie in fact performed an uncredited re-write on the ‘Ghost Protocol’ script.
Paramount and Skydance have also been developing an adaptation of Tom Clancy’s “Without Remorse” for McQuarrie to direct.
