'Mission: Impossible 3' was tough to get made, from David Fincher potentially directing to J.J. Abrams firing a cast that included Scarlett Johansson.
The Big Picture The Mission: Impossible franchise is hands down one of the best and most fertile film series running right now, which is all the more impressive considering it’s been going for over two decades. Now seven films deep, the key to the Mission: Impossible series' success has been its willingness to evolve and change with each entry, as every director puts his own stamp on the “spy movie” genre using the basic tools of what a Mission movie should be.
Release Date May 5, 2006 Director J.J.
“I think the problem with third movies is the people who are financing them are experts on how they should be made and what they should be. At that point, when you own a franchise like that, you want to get rid of any extraneous opinions.

Reflecting on the experience to Grantland back in 2014, Carnahan says he couldn’t get onboard with the new script: So Paramount — which had at one time planned on releasing Mission: Impossible III in the summer of 2004 — now agreed to push the start of filming to the summer of 2005, and Cruise opted to make War of the Worlds in the Fall 2004 slot that was penciled in for Mission: Impossible 3's production. Once Abrams finished up Lost, he turned his attention to Mission and quickly realized he had his own story to tell.
Branagh subsequently dropped out as well, with a whole new ensemble led by Philip Seymour Hoffman, Michelle Monaghan, and Laurence Fishburne signing on. Production at long last got underway in July 2005, and Mission: Impossible III hit theaters in May 2006 — two years after the initial target date, and a full six years after the release of Mission: Impossible II.
