Carnahan to direct M:I3
Wow.. from Fincher to Carnahan. Now I'm excited.. hopefully, the script is going to be a helluva lot better than the last two M:I films...
I like Ticker and Narc... I think this is a very good choice.
Par, C/W call Carnahan for 'M:I-3' duty

Fincher's statement -
HOLLYWOOD, CA - The reins behind the Mission:Impossible franchise were today, surprisingly, handed over to budding director Joe Carnahan, director of 2002's critically acclaimed gritty cop flick "Narc". This news flies in the face of the rumors ping-ponging across the net, that thrillmeister David Fincher would be the man in the seat to helm M:I 3.
"I was actually in talks to direct the film," said Fincher when reached for comment, "but there's so much other stuff I've got on my mind, and besides that HOLY HELL IT'S MISSION:INSUFFERABLE WHY THE CRAP WOULD I DO IT I MEAN COME ON".

As much as I enjoy Fincher's work.. I really don't need him to have a reason for more ZOOM IN POV Effects shots of the insides of bombs. Way over-used in Panic Room
As for Fincher, Variety has this:
Fincher, whose credits include "Panic Room," "Fight Club" and "Seven," had been attached to "Mission: Impossible 3" since early last year but recently committed to direct "The Lords of Dogtown," centering on the surf and skate culture that took root in the 1970s, for Sony.
Not to mention Sony is still wanting him to direct Fertig.
