By delving into the unfathomable knowledge of deep space that Tom Cruise has access to, he has managed to divine the identities of the writers who will do the script for Mission Impossible 4, and those writers will be Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec, two people who have previously worked with co-producer J.J. Abrams on Alias. The story will be based on a plot that was co-developed by Abrams himself, and will hopefully have nothing to do with space-lord Xenu. (No really, we kid Tom Cruise about Scientology a lot, but this movie is going to kick ass.) [Variety]
