As Paramount hammers out deals for Mission: Impossible 4, one detail has come to light: Tom Cruise will take a lot less money up front than he once would have commanded. The trade-off is that he’s in line for a back-end payday that could still put his take in line with old-school movie star signing salaries. If the film does well, that is.
