Uhm... okay. I just saw a rumor that Brad Bird is directing M:I4. That seems an extremely odd match.

Not because it's live action, but because I can't see any of his most vaunted qualities as a writer/director being of much use with that type of film.

He's already done a superhero movie (albeit animated) so MI4 wouldn't be such a reach. - Mop May 6, 21:04 5
- I can't see M:I4 giving us even one iota of the heart in Incredibles, Iron Giant or Ratatouille -- nm - TWuG May 6, 21:08 4
  - Most directors not named Wes Anderson don't make the same exact movie over and over again. -- nm - TFox May 6, 21:11 3
    - And the 3 I listed aren't even remotely the same film. But they all have sincere themes and real emotional heft. - TWuG May 6, 21:14 2
      - He didn't say they are. You might even say that was his point. -- nm - Reagen May 6, 21:17
      - Yes, I remember. -- nm - TFox May 6, 21:16
Well, let's be pleasantly surprised! -- nm - Gwaahjo May 6, 20:58 1
- It'd have to be on the order of miracle working to get me to watch a fucking Tom Cruise film. - TWuG May 6, 21:03
