@ Jason: Nice comment…or so I thought when I made it. (*GRIN!*)

We have…many times; her (supposed) acting skill is the most evil, heinous thing committed to celluloid since the Barney movie!

Is he stupid? Obviously not based on his success, but it seems to me that he could use a blockbuster that really endears him to the world. While many people love the MI series, it is not something that tugs at your heart for him. In my opinion he should be looking for his next Jerry Macguire where people will leave the theater thinking something like…that Tom Cruise is a lovely man. With all the sh*t they have had to deal with since they got together, it would make sense to me to have his audience fall in love with them…and that Katie Holmes is such a stunning, bubbly girl. She would be just fantastic in that genre. I mean, I had never heard of Renee before Jerry MacGuire.

Katie played a villain, or at least villainous, in a couple of her past movies – The Gift and Abandon. Also, I’d consider her work on Batman Begins to be close to evil, just not the villainous sort.

Are they freaking crazy? Make the romance…suffer through the dull for the fans. Come on you two!! Tom has been amazing in the romantic movies he has made and Katie is adorable. I would love it! What is wrong with them?

So if JJ Abrams is part of the franchise now, maybe he could get Joshua Jackson on the MI4 list, then I wouldnt mind Katie being in it. Id rather see those two paired up in a film than Tom with her.

I think that the only way that Katie could pull it off is if she played as a Scientologist as a Villian.

Wait! Oh Snap!

I so hope this is just a rumor that will die a natural death and never rise again! I didn’t like the third installment of MI. Real disappointing after the first two. And every movie Cruise has been in with either his wife or sig-other has flopped. I am so not interested in seeing Holmes paired with him in any movie especially an action flick! I had hoped to see the original “Phelps” in the first movie and didn’t like the new character or the fact that the whole team perished. Would have liked to see them stick a little closer to the original series and have a “Team” pull off those “Impossible Missions”.

YUCK. I have liked the MI series…up until we start hearing about talentless-Katie joining the cast. One word…yuck!!! She is completely delusional about her talent. And so is Tom (about her talent, but love is blind). At least Tom can act. He’s great and fun to watch in this role.

Dull? Dull? I would pay to see them in a romantic comedy before I would MI with Katie as the villian. Get real.

I would settle for the next Jerry Maguire type. I loved that movie.

If this doesn’t kill this laughable “action” franchise nothing will…

I hope they go with the title, “Mission Impossible IV, Rise of the Thetans!”

@ Mel C …. I recommend watching Love Affair with Warren & Annette until this particular dream of yours comes true.

I know I am a chick and I am posting where a bunch of MI fans have been posting, but I was hoping for a chik flick collab for Tom and Katie. I really was. I thought the would make the next big romance film that would sweep the nation off their feet. I must say, I am a little disappointed. What is a girl to do?

I think he has made some great movies with his significant others, but I am not a huge supporter of this MI idea. I would prefer to see them play a couple. This villian/hero thing sounds blah…like they think it is their little inside joke when we all know. Plus, I am with you that she looks so much like Michelle Monaghan. Maybe that is part of what makes it seem weird.

“…but the idea of being a couple on screen in a romantic comedy is a bit dull.”

lol. My wife would kick my butt if I said that. Seriously though, I don’t like the idea of Katie playing the villian in the next MI. Weak.

“They have wanted to work together for a while now”

Didn’t that whole “Beniffer” thing a few years ago teach anyone anything? Don’t star with people you’re involved with if you’re that high profile, it’ll end in disaster.

Seriously, disaster raining down everywhere!

To add to Gary’s point …. TC also co-starred with Penelope Cruz in the film Vanilla Sky while they were dating. So, it isn’t out of character for him to star with family/loved ones. He also worked with his cousin William Mapother in Eyes Wide Shut, as I recall.

I don’t see Katie Holmes doing action but, I thought the same thing about Keri Russell before she did a fine turn in M:I-3. Though, her scenes were very brief so who knows how it mind have turned out had she a longer part. I only use this reference because there are performers who make credible spies/action star types. Katie Holmes doesn’t fit that bill, in my opinion. While Tom Cruise has groomed the beloved Mission: Impossible series into his own franchise, maybe it’s time he assume the senior agent role and allow younger agents to take to the field. Of course, this would draw attention away from him — which I’m not sure he is willing to submit to at this point. But if the M:I brand is going to continue into the future, it might be the right time to have a changing of the guard before TC reaches an age where it’s no longer credible for him to do the sorts of stunts and maneuvers that have been so common in the films.
