Tom Cruise 'planning Mission Impossible 5'

Tom Cruise has revealed that he is planning to film Mission: Impossible 5.

The actor - who has also had a hand in producing the spy franchise - said that he will continue to make the movies as long as people want to see them.

"I started Mission: Impossible hoping I could make many of them," he told Total Film magazine. "It's a character that I can grow with.

"At that time it was the most expensive film in the history of Paramount Pictures, and the first film I was producing.

"It's been pretty exciting. Seeing an audience respond to have that experience is really wonderful. I'll make a bunch of those. I'll make as many as people want to see... because they're very challenging, and so much fun to make."

Cruise also explained that he is always thinking of scenarios and mentally compiling locations for the Mission: Impossible series.

"We're already working on different images," he said. "Talking conceptually.

"I love travelling around promoting different movies because I'm always looking at different places, and I always walk around to see the city. I look at architecture, subways coming up with different seque! nces."

Cruise is currently suing Life & Style magazine for $50m (31m) after the publication claimed he had abandoned his daughter Suri.

The star's latest film, the Christopher McQuarrie-directed Jack Reacher, is released on December 13.
