Talk of the sequel began back in November 2010. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer told us at the time, "We've been talking about it since the movie came out and it was a big hit. Tom Cruise took a run at it many years ago and we just couldn't crack it. So we'll see what happens now."
A Paramount executive confirmed in May that plans had been solidified with Cruise, Scott and Bruckheimer returning and Peter Craig writing the script.
