Star Trek director J.J. Abrams tells TV Guide that he will be producing the fourth "Mission: Impossible" film.
"I am incredibly honored that Tom has invited me back as a producer on 'Mission: Impossible 4,'" said Abrams, who directed 2006's Mission: Impossible III, but hasn't yet committed to directing the fourth.
"Tom and I have come up with a really cool idea we are pursuing," he added.

I wonder if Star Trek XI being a hit had anything to do with this?

Looks interesting. I liked the third movie the most from the trilogy.
