Tom Cruise is heading back to Paramount to make a fourth Mission: Impossible film.

The movie star and studio mogul Sumner Redstone have reportedly met to discuss the project two years after the Viacom boss dropped Cruise's production company from Paramount.

That move prompted Cruise to walk away from his long relationship with the company and revamp the United Artists studio with his production partner Paula Wagner.

A source tells Life & Style magazine, "Tom will make M:I 4 once Paramount greenlights the script."
