About.com got the chance to sit down and chat with J.J. Abrams, the new director of the Tom Cruise actioner Mission: Impossible 3, and get a little insight into the production, below are a couple of clips from the article:
Since Frank Darabont wrote the Mission: Impossible 3 script, are you going to do a pass on it?
We’re still figuring out what the next step is going to be. He’s one of my favorite writers and did unbelievable work on the script.
Cruise wants every film to have a different look. How will you go about that?
It’s in the very early stages. We’re just figuring out what the next step is going to be. I could not be more excited. Working on that series is a dream for me.
Was “Alias” good preparation for M:I 3?
“Alias” has been in some ways good preparation for what that will be and I have to say that to some degree, I owe Buena Vista Home Entertainment this job because I’d had a meeting with Mr. Cruise and I gave him the “Alias” DVDs. He’d never seen the show. And I thought, “He’ll never watch it.” And I got a call a couple months later that he had watched every episode and that was the beginning of the discussions. So if it hadn’t been for the DVDs, I definitely wouldn’t have the job, so thanks again.
