Tom Cruise, big shot, and the studio that currently owns him have shut down production on Mission Impossible 3. Without a director, a month away from a start date, the film was stumbling. Instead, Cruise will go into pre-production on War of the Worlds with Spielberg (who's halting pre-production on his flick).Cruise promises MI:3 will shoot next summer with J.J. Abrams (Alias) at the helm (lets see if Abrams makes it through pre-production, hehe).
