Simon Pegg joins M:I3?
Coming Soon have a cool piece of news this morning, that Simon Pegg, star of Shaun of the Dead and Spaced is to star next to Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible III!
Simon Pegg has signed on to join Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 3, says The Hollywood Reporter. He will play an ally of Special Agent Ethan Hunt......"I've been dying to work with Simon since I saw 'Shaun of the Dead'," said Abrams. "His comedic skill is remarkable; he's able to be hysterically funny while always seeming 100% real, even when he's killing zombies with vinyl records."
Well now we have an excellent reason to go see the movie! It reminds me of the appearance of Rowan Atkinson in Never say never again, and that role worked a treat against Bond...I wonder if they might follow that same formula?

This will be a sweet bit of onscreen chemistry if ya ask me!
Space ruled! And Shaun likewise. Can't imagine the dialogue though!
