Hollywood legend Tom Cruise is reportedly taking a pay cut in order to star in the fourth installment to the 'Mission: Impossible' franchise directed by 'The Incredibles' director Brad Bird.
The pay cut on 'M:I 4' is due to the disappointing takings at the box office of Tom's new action comedy 'Knight And Day' in which he reteams with the lovely Cameron Diaz, although it has been well documented over the past couple of years that Cruise is no longer the box office draw he used to be.
The actor will according to reports work to "Scale" which is the minimum wage set by the Sceen Actors Guild, but apparently if the film is a success when it is released in 2011, Tom will see a rather “nice back-end after the cash break-even”.
Paramount are also taking on a financial partner in the shape of Skydance Productions to help with the reported budget of £85 million.
