Now here’s one rumor I hope isn’t true. Paramount wants Brad Pitt to take over the Mission Impossible franchise and they’re willing to pay $39 million to get him. 

“MI:IV will not include Cruise’s character, agent Ethan Hunt. They’re considering a brief mention, saying Hunt retired to live a safe life with his new wife,” an insider was quoted by the Daily Mail, as saying.

“They’re set on Brad taking over as a gutsy new head operative who puts together his own unique team of specialists,” he added.

Sources say Paramount is prepared to do whatever it takes to get Pitt on board, and is even willing to make him the highest-paid movie star in history, with a salary topping £21 million.

There’s no way Brad Pitt is even worth 1/4 of that amount. I honestly don’t think he’s that great of an actor (sorry ladies) and even if he is (he’s not), $39 Million is ridiculous. Give $5 million to Hugh Jackman and I bet he’ll do a better job.
