In his 47th year Tom Cruise is still at his best, at least in what concerns performing impossible missions. Grapevine reports that Paramount Pictures roped in the actor, fresh from Day and Knight, for the production of Mission Impossible 4. J.J. Abrams will team up with him at the job.

Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec will be in charge of the script. The director is to be chosen yet.

The 4th Mission is scheduled for the release against the Memorial Day 2011, and the shooting will start in summer.
