Is Brad's Mission to Replace Tom?

Rumors are flying that Paramount wants Brad to star in the next Mission Impossible movie, after they dumped Tom. If this is true, it will make Brad the highest paid actor in history. Maybe this is why Brad and Angelina were looking so happy for their date night last week. Here's more:

An insider told London Lite: "MI:IV will not include Cruise's character, agent Ethan Hunt.

They're considering a brief mention, saying Hunt retired to live a safe life with his new wife.

"They're set on Brad taking over as a gutsy new head operative who puts together his own unique team of specialists."

Sources say Paramount is prepared to do whatever it takes to get Pitt on board, and is even willing to make him the highest-paid movie star in history, with a salary topping £21 million.

They say that with Cruise now off the lot, Pitt - whose production company Plan B is based at Paramount - is clearly the biggest star with a deal at the studio.

"Everything's being kept top secret, but they're offering Brad a deal no one could possibly refuse. There's no doubt, this would make Brad Pitt the biggest and highest paid star in the world."

So it sounds like Tom might not be the only one benefiting from the Paramount breakup. I am a bit surprised they would just write off Ethan Hunt like that but I guess the delays from MI3 and the recent break up between Tom and Paramount leave the franchise in limbo. Can Brad step in and save it? Lots more pics of Brad looking hot for Esquire so read more

    My man is looking mighty fine. However, I'm not buying this story. If they do offer Brad the job, doubt he'll take it.

    Excellent. I'd rather watch Brad than Tom any day. He was hotter in Interview with a Vampire, and he's hotter now.

    Yum. If true (although I agree with funkyfeet) that would make this the first MI I've seen. Or, maybe just the first I'll remember.

    I can see Brad doing it. I can't really think of any other believeable replacement. I saw MI3 twice it was great.

    Damn he's looking fine! That's the cut I like on him most.

    I hope it's true...it would certainly be the first MI movie I ever paid to see.

    I'm dubious that he'd be even interested in this, unless he could infuse some socially responsible message into the storyline, which they might be fine with.

    I think they like Bond to have an accent, that's the way it has traditional gone anyways.

    I hope Brad doesn't want the job as Ethan, It seemed lately he was into edgier roles than just an action hero type stuff. Not counting the Oceans indulgence that is. Maybe he's just hoping for an Oscar nod for Babel and then to just for the paycheck jobs. Man I hope not.

    Brad is a better choice than Tom. Tom is nuts, and Brad is a smart man. If he does do the part in the movie, I will watch this one.

    It would be great to see Brad do it.. and the box office numbers. HAHAH that would show TinyTom what a tool he really is!! I doubt Brad would take TinyToms leftovers though.. he has a lot on his plate right now!!

    I didn't waste my money and watch these movies when Tom was doing it, and I won't watch them when Brad does them either. I think they are both big headed pigs. I have better things to see.

    Like "Oceans 13" is socially relevant. He's an ACTOR, not the Dalai Lama.

    I don't think Johnny cares about the academy recognizing him.

    I personally love his humbleness... Check this quote out:

    "If anything, mine has been a career of failures. I think I'm getting all this attention right now because people feel sorry for me. I'm an underdog. Other actors look at me and think, 'That poor bastard is still hacking away at it'."

    How can you not just love him? Kiss

    I don't see Johnny winning a Oscar. He reminds me of Michael Jackson. Just my opinion.

    Daisy! How can you put Johnny Depp in the same sentence as Michael Jackson?! You are crazy. Johnny Depp is nothing like Michael. He's a great dad for one. Doesn't dangle them out a high window, give them "jesus juice" or god knows what else. That was a low blow. BOO!

    I think it's been reported that Johnny Depp may have used Michael Jackson as a reference for the character of Willy Wonka. I'm not sure if that's even true. That would be the only reason to use Johnny Depp and Michael Jackson in the same sentence.

    Why on Earth would anyone want to have their name associated with something that Crazy Cruise has done in the past?

    I love it! I can see him doing it. And I would actually go see it. Dislike Tiny Tom...Love Brad.. he does have the acting chops to pull it off.. I think Babel has great nomination potentialfor him as well.

    And he does movies like Ocean's so that he can then focus on movies that are important to him.. like Babel and Dallas Buyers Club..ect.
