Goodbye Tom Cruise, hello Brad Pitt. According to the website Lipstick, Paramount Pictures hopes to bring Pitt on board for Mission: Impossible IV. The star would take the role of secret agent Ethan Hunt, who has been played previously by Cruise.
Paramount thinks that the third Mission: Impossible film had lost the momentum for the franchise. The new contract being offered to Pitt is worth $40 million, making it the highest offer ever made in Hollywood for a single production.
Last month, Paramount Pictures ended their partnership with Tom Cruise after fourteen years.
