... But Abrams may not be responsible for a MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE IV, as he told MTV that he would be producing the film with Tom Cruise yet “My guess is, given other things, that I will not be directing the movie.” Seeing as how each film has been directed by someone different (I was Brian DePalma, II was John Woo), this just keeps in the tradition of the series. While I love Abrams, I also love to see different visions of the same characters. ...

Latino Review —
... about it. My hope is that when the script comes in — the dream would be that we could shoot this soon"
For the record, I loved "M:I 3." I feel it is a tense, emotional, truly underrated spy flick with awesome action scenes. Definitely the best of the series, by far. It also introduced the idea of a TEAM into the franchise, which up till then had been the Tom Cruise show. Anything Abrams and his talented writers have cooked up will surely be exciting. Source: MTV
