Fincher was replaced with Joe Carnahan, who subsequently quit the film over "creative differences", Studio Babelsberg said.*
It will now be directed by Jeffrey Abrams, who created hit television series Alias.*
The first movie in the Mission: Impossible series, directed by Brian de Palma in 1996, grossed $454m (£250m) worldwide.*
Its John Woo-directed sequel took $546m (£300m) following its 2000 release."*
It is said the Tom Cruise will now use the filming delay to shoot the re-make of the classic 1960's movie The War of the Worlds from the works of the author H.G Wells, which is being directed by Steven Speilberg. Shooting for Mission Impossible 3 will now take place in the summer of 2005.*
