Paul Harris - script work on Mission Impossible film?

[Joe Mckay]

I remember seeing an interview with David Regal where he said that he was helping to rework the script for the latest Mission Impossible film. He also said that he had roped in Paul Harris to add some clever scams to the script.

Just wondering if anyone knew more about this? I love the idea of Paul Harris contribute a sneaky scam or two to a Hollywood blockbuster.

And I love Tom Cruise! So this is just ticking all my boxes.

Just spoke to Regal and it's absolutely not true. He had nothing to do with the script for the latest Mission Impossible film.

Sorry - faulty memory.

I found out what I had in mind. Seems this goes back to the big feature that MAGIC magazine did on Paul Harris a few years ago. And in there Paul spoke about doing some script doctoring (with David Regal) for the sequel to 'The Thomas Crown Affair'.

Sorry for getting the films mixed up. I thought it was something I had read more recently than the interview in MAGIC magazine. That interview was 7 years ago. I am losing my grasp on time!

Well, there was no sequel to "The Thomas Crown Affair"!

"Thomas Crown And The Missing Lioness" (a sequel to the 1999 remake) was planned but went dormant.

A dentist shot the lioness and they had to cancel it.
