JJ Abrams, director of the thrilling spy series Alias starring sexy up and coming star Jennifer Gardner met with Tom Cruise to discuss a possible director job for the next Mission Impossible sequel (#3). theage:

“I had a meeting with Mr Cruise and I gave him the (first and second season) Alias DVDs. He’d never seen the show, and I thought, you know, ‘He’ll never watch it’,” Abrams said. “I got a call a couple of months later and he had watched every episode.”

It sounds like Abrams sees this as a real boost, but coming into direct a sequel of any movie I’m not sure is all it’s cracked up to be. I have a hard time thinking of any sequels that were up to the quality of the original. Good luck to him, I like Alias and I enjoyed the first Mission Impossible. I thought MI-2 was a bit too over the top.
