TOM Cruise will star in a new "Mission: Impossible" movie set for release next year and produced by him and J.J. Abrams, according to Paramount Pictures.
Cruise and Abrams last teamed up in 2006 for "Mission: Impossible III," with Cruise in the role of super agent Ethan Hunt who battles bad guys and saves the world from evil.
The first two movies in the series made a combined US$1 billion at global box offices. The third film's United States box office reached US$134 million and was considered a mild disappointment by critics, even though it raked in another US$264 million overseas, proving Cruise's international appeal.
Also, Cruise's public image had been tarnished the preceding year by his staunch defense of his beliefs in Scientology and by an incident in which he jumped on Oprah Winfrey's couch proclaiming his love for actress Katie Holmes.
Following "Mission: Impossible III," Paramount cut its film production ties with Cruise, and the making of a fourth film in the series has been in question ever since.
But on Tuesday, Paramount said Cruise and Abrams, who made this past summer's smash hit "Star Trek," dreamed up an original idea for a fourth film and were back together again.
"Tom and J.J. are great talents and we are excited to be working with them to re-launch this legendary franchise," Paramount's chairman Brad Grey said.
