"Mission: Impossible IV" is back on track at Paramount.

Tom Cruise and J.J. Abrams have agreed to co-produce the sequel, which is set for a 2011 release.

The return of Cruise to Paramount is surprising in view of the circumstances surrounding his departure in August 2006 when Viacom chief Sumner Redstone abruptly terminated the 14-year relationship between the star and the studio. Redstone had expressed concern over Cruise’s erratic public behavior at the time.

This led to Cruise becoming the chief of United Artists and taking a more active role in production decisions. Redstone, meanwhile, has sought to heal the relationship.

According to Variety, at a recent appearance, he described the star as “a great actor and a good friend.”
