(That's not the final title of course but I had to put something.)
The real news is they hired some writers, Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse, writers of Race. Christopher McQuarrie, writer of the original (well one of them; he was hired to rewrite the script 2 months before filming started), will produce and help them develop the story.
Doug Liman will return as director.
It's unknown if they can manage to find a way for Blunt to reprise her role. We also don't have a release date as this is the beginning of the development process which means it's not a certainty that the movie will be made and it won't be stuck in development hell or anything else.. but let's remain hopeful.
edit technically the article doesn't say that Cruise will be in it, I suppose that was me jumping the gun. But I believe they won't greenlit the film if the star doesn't return.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

Christopher McQuarrie not writing but producing smells like Nolan + Men of Steel. Cash job for McQuarrie. Shame, because he is a very good writer, on top of being a very good director.

I have the same feeling. The original movie was such a pleasant surprise for me, that I'm inevitably ready for some sad trombone moments here.  I'm still very much looking forward to it though, that goes without saying.
@Consolitis: my optimism won!   |

What a weird comparison to make.

What is weird about it?
How open did the film leave this world to warrant a sequel? Did the ending scream at you "fuck yeah, can't want to see what happens next!!"? (Other than the possible Cruise/Blunt sex scene )
So now, a story needs to be shoehorned. The original writer who created this world is gone, but "producing".
I will say this about this - Cruise has very few terrible films. Especially last few years, Cruise seems to push for quality. Even his lesser flicks, like Oblivion, are good and above. So it may come out good due to Cruise pushing more quality and having enough power with Warner Bros. But this does not change the fact that McQuarrie is just getting paid to namedrop, now that his name has star power.

I agree. But that's not what you had said. That's not what I responded to.

McQuarrie hardly created that world. He was one of the many screenwriters.
But that too is beside the point.
My point is: Like I said your comparison is weird. McQuarrie for Edge of Tomorrow is not what Nolan was for Batman.
I'm not saying you are wrong or right regarding McQuarrie's new duties, I'm saying that's a pretty bad comparison to make.

So it’s gonna revolutionize how people make sequels. And again that’s why I try to do things like Invisible that are just, the revolution’s sort of built into the idea. It’s more heresy in the film world for me to pitch things that are sort of unheard of.” |

ill admit, im curious about his BIG CLAIMS about doing a sequel like noones ever done one before... im pretty much prepared to call bullshit, BUT you never know i guess....
...but if its 'the first one was all a dream' or some convoluted time-travel nonsense, i wont be happy

For me, that was the best Mission Impossible in the series. |

Since it's not straight up a prequel, that implies that
a) there will be time travel to the past, that's why it starts as a sequel but becomes a prequel
or
b) there will be a sequel story but with flashbacks to the past and how those relate to the present (think LOST).

thats a stupid name, there is no way that will be the final title
if THAT is the final title, ill fucking eat a sandwich.
i know they changed the first films name to that live die repeat nonsense, but i have to believe that name recognition is NOT strong enough to base the sequel title around.

How can a plot like that having a sequel, exactly?
Aliens upgraded to the knowledge of 5th dimension?
I hope it's at least based on the actual book, as for the first.
