Hollywood movie muddle

Cool prospects for the next Mission: Impossible movie, with Tom Cruise back, as Kenneth Branagh and Ving Rhames in the cast, and Alias' J.J. Abrams at the keyboard.

Except that Abrams is tied up with other stuff, and Paramount's having scheduling problems, and the director has changed, etc.

So, instead, M:I-3 will get pushed back a year, and Cruise instead will star in a Steven Spielberg remake of War of the Worlds.

Oooookay. Didn't know we needed another one of those (esp. if you count Independence Day as a quasi-remake), but ... well, I trust Spielberg, at least.
