Cruising towards the Pitts

It's definitely turning into Brad Pitt's year. Not only is Shiloh beating out Suri in the baby stakes, but Brad is being lined up to replace Tom in the next Mission: Impossible film. After the awful 3 - which compared to the terrific 2nd episode in the same way Godfather III compares to II - the series could probably benefit from a change in characters; Tom retiring to civilian life with his new wife would be a fittingly non-violent end for Ethan.

But Brad Pitt in the leading role? Hmmm. We can expect a more loose-limbed fighting style, more clumsy-looking climbs, and there'll have to be more than one leading lady for him to impregnate.
