Oscar winner Christopher McQuarrie to pen “Mission: Impossible 6”November 21, 2015 - 11:12 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Oscar winner Christopher McQuarrie is in negotiations to return to write and direct “Mission: Impossible 6” for Paramount and Skydance, TheWrap said citing an individual familiar with the situation. Representatives for Paramount and Skydance had no comment. McQuarrie directed this summer’s “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” and previously worked with star Tom Cruise on “Jack Reacher,” though Ed Zwick is currently directing the sequel to that film. Each “Mission: Impossible” movie has been directed by a different filmmaker, and McQuarrie would be the first director to return to the hit action franchise. Brian De Palma directed the first film, while subsequent installments were directed by John Woo, J.J. Abrams and Brad Bird. The next “Mission: Impossible” movie is expected to start shooting next summer, and both Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson will likely return for the sequel, according to agency sources. Of course, the studio’s top priority right now is to close McQuarrie’s deal and hone the script. Paramount and Skydance want McQuarrie back, as “Rogue Nation” grossed nearly $700 million worldwide. McQuarrie won an Oscar for writing “The Usual Suspects.” Variety broke the news. Top stories The creative crew of the Public TV had chosen 13-year-old Malena as a participant of this year's contest.
