‘Iron Man 3′ Co-Writer Set To Script ‘Mission: Impossible 5′
After scripting the biggest hit of 2013, “Iron Man 3,” it’s no surprise that screenwriter Drew Pearce has moved on to a similarly big project. It’s being reported that Pearce has signed on to pen the screenplay for the upcoming “Mission: Impossible” sequel “Mi5.”
The Hollywood Reporter has the news, confirming that Paramount Pictures has hired Pearce to write the script. Tom Cruise is expected to both produce and star in the film once he’s done with his next feature, “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.”
By the time Cruise is done with Guy Ritchie’s “U.N.C.L.E.,” “Mi5″ should be ready for a fall filming start date. Story details of the next “Mission: Impossible” movie are being kept a secret, and it’s unclear of Jeremy Renner will be reprising his role as William Brandt. Christopher McQuarrie is still in discussions to the direct the film, though he hasn’t been locked down yet.
“We’ve been talking about it, yes,” McQuarrie recently told MTV News. “We’re figuring it out right now. I’m looking at pictures from all over the world and just deciding what invites action.”
In addition to “Mission: Impossible 5,” Pearce is also said to be working on an original spec script that will be his directorial debut. He also helped develop “Pacific Rim” and is said to be attached to write “Sherlock Holmes 3.”

‘Great Gatsby’ Throws A Surprise Party At The Box Office
When Warner Bros. decided to move Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” from Oscar season 2012 to summer 2013, it seemed like a disaster waiting to happen. An adaption of a literary novel by one of the more eccentric stylists working in film today would be out of place alongside superheroes and intergalactic starships. Who would see “Gatsby” then? The answer: Lots of people.
Leonardo DiCaprio and company pulled off a shocker of a second place finish, taking in $51 million in ticket sales in the U.S. alone. That total made for the third biggest opening weekend that didn’t result in a first place finish.
That honor went, once again, to “Iron Man 3.” Marvel Studios continued its world-wide domination, adding $72 million to its domestic total, as it inches closer and closer to the $1 billion mark.
Head over to MTV News for a full box office breakdown.

‘Iron Man 3′ Made Enough Money To Rebuild Tony Stark’s House
After spending a week cleaning up at the foreign box office, Iron Man turned his sights to his home country, the good old U.S. of A., and once here, the latest Marvel movie continued to break records.
“Iron Man 3” kicked off its domestic release to the tune of $175 million, good enough for the #2 opening weekend of all time. Marvel Studios now holds the top two spots. “The Avengers” still holds the record with $207 million.
The total for the third standalone Iron Man movie now sits at $608 million, which already makes it the second biggest Marvel movie of all time, ahead of “Iron Man2,” which made a total of $623.9 million during its entire theatrical run.
