Now that Tommy Boy is dropped out completely, here's an idea:

How about a movie like the old show? About a TEAM of evenly weighted experts (master of disguise, electronics wiz, strongman, femme fatale, leader) rather than a Tom Cruise vanity production. Yeah he had guys like Jean Reno and Ving Rhames, but they were "supplemental." Ving just seemed to be used to drop Tom off and pick Tom off in his helicopter.

And, oh: bring back the kick-ass theme song and flash-cut opening sequence. After the first "Mission:Impossible" movie effectively used that opening from the old TV show, it was downplayed to nothingness in the sequels.

Just a thought. Or two.
