Mission: Accepted: Christopher McQuarrie To Direct Mission Impossible 5

McQuarrie has been hotly anticipated to direct M:I 5 since even before the release of Jack Reacher late last year, and the director appeared with Cruise at last month's San Diego Comic Con to promote Cruise's next movie, Edge of Tomorrow, which McQuarrie helped to adapt.

Countdown to the release of Mission Impossible 5, with the iPhone Movie Countdown Clock App.
