MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING Trailer: Trust In Tom One Last Time!
“Every choice, every mission, has all led to this…”
“Every choice, every mission, has all led to this…”
The campaign has officially begun for next year’s release of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Paramount and Skydance are releasing the film on May 23 and the first official teaser and poster have made their debut with none other than Tom Cruise front and center on the artwork, and in the requisite action that’s kept the franchise going since 1996. The Christopher McQuarrie-directed second chapter to last year’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning continues the saga with Cruise going head to head with a looming A.I.-imbued threat backed by a terroristic zealot and his army. We see a little more of what that struggle now entails in the teaser culminating footage from previous films as well, as per the new installment’s tagline which reads “Our lives are the sum of our choices” …oof! Cruise also stars alongside Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, […]
In Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team embark on their most dangerous mission yet: To track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands. With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, and dark forces from Ethan’s past closing in, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission – not even the lives of those he cares about most. I feel like at this point watching Tom Cruise run is very much like watching a car chase. The tone, pacing and energy it takes to emulate an action sequence akin to a mechanical vehicle is something Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie are amply good at, casting zero doubt at […]
As far as franchises go, Tom Cruise stands as one of the most successful and consistent stars of his time, having conquered the Mission: Impossible franchise as he continues even to up to this very day, global pandemic be damned. His latest installation in reunion with director Christopher McQuarrie, who’s been with the spy saga since its fifth chapter, Rogue Nation, now brings us the first official trailer subtitled fully as Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning: Part One. No synopsis or hint as to how this continuation coasleses after Fallout, just a two-minute visual sampler of what’s to come: more mystery, more intrigue, more action and suspense, more danger, more Tom defying death…and well, just…more. Voilà! Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Hayley Atwell, Shea Whigham, Pom Klementieff, Esai Morales, Henry Czerny, Rob Delaney, Cary Elwes, Indira Varma, Mark Gatiss, Charles Parnell, Greg Tarzan Davis, and Frederick Schmidt also star.
Actress Pom Klementiff is joining the next installments of the Mission: Impossible franchise. Klementiff confirmed the announcement with writer/director Christopher McQuarrie who back in the saddle once more to direct for returning star Tom Cruise and newly added Agent Carter star, actress Hayley Atwell. Mischief: Accepted https://t.co/faRvtIL0QQ — Pom Klementieff (@PomKlementieff) November 19, 2019 McQuarrie has been with the franchise since 2015 and has contributed immensely with the action packed successes of Rogue Nation and Fallout – the fifth and sixth entries of the film series based on Bruce Gellar’s 1960s spy series. That the IP is more than fifty years old hasn’t been a major decider thusfar, which is currently more than can be said for the latest three franchise sequel reboots that opened this month to dismal results at the box office in Doctor Sleep, Terminator: Dark Fate and Charlie’s Angeles. There’s still plenty of life for franchises […]
They say “…if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Well, invariably, in the case of Tom Cruise and Chris McQuarrie, it appears they’re not fixing shit after totaling near $1.5 billion dollars between the last two Mission: Impossible films. The past month and change have been much ado with the duo reuniting for another two installments after successfully garnering appeal from fans with Mission: Impossible – Fallout. Now dated for July 23, 2021 and August 5, 2022, the first of the two upcoming for the Mission octalogy is now confirming the return of actress Rebecca Ferguson’s Ilsa Faust who made her entry in the 2016 entry, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation. Faust’s debut in Rogue Nation showed her more than capable as Hunt’s equal on multiple occasions as her story unfolded going into Fallout. Other cast members remain pending, new or returning, though it’d be reasonable to see Ving Rhames […]
I’ll tell you right now…I absolutely hate the idea of reserved seating. It was ultimately what had me sitting at the very front row for my own viewing of Mission: Impossible – Fallout and it was quite unpleasant. At the very least though I was able to extrapolate whatever amount of enjoyment I could get out of director Christopher McQuarrie‘s latest contribution to the spy saga which, needless to say, has already demanded McQuarrie’s return for a third time since helming Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation. Indeed, there’s no question that actor Tom Cruise left virtually no stone unturned in making sure viewers got their money’s worth, and he’s got a healed ankle to prove it, among other things. Packed with epic sets and tremendous scope and scale as essential for a film of this caliber, Mission: Impossible has some of the best Hollywood action most movies will ever see; […]
If the last Mission: Impossible installment proved nothing else, it proved that one of Paramount’s biggest franchises can deliver on even bigger terms each time. Now six films in with Mission: Impossible – FALLOUT, the latest chapter has more than revealed itself to be another highly anticipated sequel. The fact that its star, Tom Cruise, continues to delve further into death-defying stunts and to the point of injuring himself in the process speaks highly to how far he’ll go to entertain audiences. Whether or not the spectacle takes in a film that measures with critical approval remains to be seen, while in fairness, Christopher McQuarrie directed its predecessor themed Rogue Nation, which became the best in the series by far. Throw in Henry Cavill with cinema’s most infamous mustache – queuing the likelihood of another hilarious “Honest Trailers” jab from the cats at Screen Junkies and rest assured, this film […]
It’s Super Bowl Sunday, kids! And you know what that means: Loads of advertising, including movies for the year and most of which will suffice the blockbuster crowd. Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission Impossible: Fallout will be one such to prioritize as we approach its release with Tom Cruise shepherding the explosive action saga once. The best intentions often come back to haunt you. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT finds Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team (Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames) along with some familiar allies (Rebecca Ferguson, Michelle Monaghan) in a race against time after a mission gone wrong. Henry Cavill, Angela Bassett, and Vanessa Kirby also join the dynamic cast with filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie returning to the helm. July 27 is the date and the official trailer is finally online to immerse yourself in the epic action, espionage and stuntwork in which our lead actor literally took an […]
The production of Christopher McQuarrie’s latest Tom Cruise headliner in the Mission Impossible saga has been a raucous endeavor, to say the least. An injured lead actor on more than one occasion can be a bit of a challenge on top of continuity issues per the studio’s need for Henry Cavill to maintain his mustache during the completion of last year’s Justice League. Still though and thankfully, all is stirring and steering forward for what it’s worth with the American Made star joined by Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames in addition to actress Rebecca Ferguson who blew the lid off with her energizing delivery for Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation in 2015. All these and more now bring us to the latest official title debut and production still by way of Cruise hailing Mission Impossible: Fallout from Paramount and Skydance. Take a look below and mark your calendars for July 27! […]
By now you’ve probably seen the viral video of actor Tom Cruise injuring himself during a stunt on the Paris set of the sixth Mission Impossible film. Thankfully it hasn’t suffered tragedy currently being endured on two other known productions this summer, but it does exemplify the dangers stunt performers, and even bold actors face when pushing the envelope – something Cruise is known to do. Well… pushing it this time around has cost him, at least tentatively, sending the production into an eight-week hiatus, and producers into troubleshooting mode, according to sources reported by The Wrap. The injury in question occured when Cruise, wire rigged for a jump from one platform of a building to another, leapt too short and slammed his knees into the adjacent wall, forcing him to catch himself before trying and failing to continue the take in mid-limp. The goal now as producers weigh their […]
In a nutshell, this should have been a story of a girl who wanted power for herself and no one else. It would have made for a better story. Instead, we’re given a miasma of history from the introduction of the Knights Templar being buried with a stone from the hilt of an Ancient Egyptian dagger that was used in a magical ceremony by the Mummy herself (Sofia Boutella) and our cast of characters bent on its destruction. We’re literally buried by story strand after strand beginning with Dr. Henry Jekyll (Russell Crowe) taking over a newly discovered crypt during an Underground expansion in London where he stumbles onto hieroglyphs above a Templar burial and encapsulating the story of Ahmanet, the daughter of a Pharoah and her glory to be a powerful ruler of Egypt. Through her own devices, she makes a magical plea with the underworld ruler, Set, to […]
The June 9 release of Alex Kurtzman’s The Mummy isn’t coming light this summer. The film, as per the efforts of past several years is just one in several forthcoming steps toward what Universal Pictures, on Monday, branded as the Dark Universe, spearheaded by Kurtzman and The Fate Of The Furious scribe Chris Morgan in a sequential effort to adapt classic cinematic icons of the studio for the big screen. The official Dark Universe logo as shown above and unveiled at the official website will make its debut preceding The Mummy starring Tom Cruise along with title actress Sofia Boutella and actor Russell Crowe as Dr. Jekyll, and featuring a new musical theme by Academy Award® nominee Danny Elfman’s Danny Elfman. The new theme will also accomodate the DU’s remaining properties, including the February 14, 2019 release of Bride Of Frankenstein, written by David Koepp and for which actor Javier […]
Filming is currently underway in France for writer and director Christopher McQuarrie’s latest installment with the sixth Mission: Impossible film for Paramount and Skydance. Given this, it’s likely that miscellaneous fan photos of the set would be discovered and as it turns out, there’s a whole viral batch of jubilant behind-the-scenes gems on Instagram with our cast on set, a few of which include and otherwise confirm actor and martial artist Joey Ansah. Details are currently unknown regarding Ansah’s role which otherwise pits him along with a raft of returning and new cast members led by Tom Cruise who can be seen in a recent Instagram fan photo from the set with Ansah whose acting credits partly include The Bourne Ultimatum, Scott Adkins-led martial arts thriller Green Street Hooligans: Underground, Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist and ITV series Beowulf: Return To The Shieldlands. Rounding out the cast are a returning and […]
Paramount/Skydance To say that there are some high hopes for the next installment of the Mission Impossible franchise would be an understatement. I reckon both returning lead actor Tom Cruise and writer/director Christopher McQuarrie have that covered planning some big stunt sequences having been planned in the past year, and they’ve now gone full speed ahead with production underway according to McQuarrie’s latest tweet below: Light the fuse… (photo @rdhardy) pic.twitter.com/kidurRcjpi — ChristopherMcQuarrie (@chrismcquarrie) April 8, 2017 Plot details remain unknown but the cast will have a mix of new and returning faces with Cruise joined by Rebecca Ferguson and Alec Baldwin from the hit fifth film, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, and actors Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner reprising from previous installments; Roles attributed to actor Henry Cavill, and actresses Vanessa Kirby and Sian Brooke remain to be detailed, and with more casting news ahead. Cruise is proucing with Don […]
Director Christopher McQuarrie is currently working to up the ante for the sixth installment of Paramount’s Mission: Impossible franchise. In the meantime, McQuarrie is also being poised to helm the forthcoming live-action adaptation, Star Blazers, according to the latest report at Deadline. The film is a nod to its origins as Space Battleship Yamato which had a raft of series runs airing in Japan beginning in 1974 from director Matsumoto Leji. Set in the year 2199, the series centered on mankind’s efforts to fashion a lightspeed battleship underground with superior technology during the course of their survival following a deadly alien attack that rendered the Earth’s surface uninhabitable. Plans to adapt its Americanized program, Star Blazers, began as far back as the 1990s at Disney before those plans were scrapped thereafter, while Returner helmer, award-winning director Yamazaki Takashi managed to bring forward his own adaptation in 2010. David Ellison then […]
The sixth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise has been a bit stifled but is slowly taking shape nonetheless for its Spring start date and presumably 2018 release. Thus, casting news this week confirmed Netflix series The Crown co-star Vanessa Kirby was in talks for a role in the new film which will ultimately see actor Tom Cruise back in the role of IMF agent Ethan Hunt. Details of her role are pending among others while Variety reports Cruise is producing the film with producer David Ellison, and with a script by Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation helmer Christopher McQuarrie who is back in the director’s chair. Also expected to return are actor Jeremy Renner for his third outing in the franchise since landing via Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, and Simon Pegg who has been with the series since Mission: Impossible 3 while actress Rebecca Ferguson who lit up […]
Currently at my hand is my own recovery from election fatigue while I get back into the thick of things. Alas, amid all the craziness came news of M: I6 – Mission Impossible, now stamped for a July 27, 2018 release date. Promising more action and bigger stunts, actor Tom Cruise will be back no less to star in, as well as produce along with Paramount Pictures and David Ellison’s Skydance. The cast is far from confirmed though it’s currently expected that actress Rebecca Ferguson may reprise her role from last summer’s preceding hit success, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation. Production is expected to commence in the Spring from a script by Christopher McQuarrie who is signed on to direct. Next year’s June 19 and September 29 dates mark the respective releases of Universal’s remake/reboot of The Mummy and Doug Liman’s American Made. H/T: Variety
.Writer and director Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation soared to nearly $700 million dollars last summer. It’s weekend success already led to talk of another in the works, an effort that has since been underway with an eye to start in January. Last month’s pay dispute halted things for franchise producer and lead star Tom Cruise who had also been busy filming Doug Liman’s new crime thriller, American Made (formerly Mena) which comes out a little over a year from this week. In the meantime, the star of next month’s Jack Reacher: Never Go Back is officially on deck to commence filmming the sixth installment this Spring according to an exclusive report at THR which also confirms McQuarrie’s return to penning and helming duties. The previous film saw Cruise back in action as IMF field operative Ethan Hunt and his newly-disavowed team up against equally skilled terrorist organization […]
Paramount Showbiz411 reportedly has it on good terms that actress Rebecca Ferguson will likely be reprising her role as Ilsa in the forthcoming production of the sixth Mission: Impossible film. The news comes within months since actor Tom Cruise confirmed a new movie was in development back in July in the wake of the film’s successful theatrical release with word of Christopher McQuarrie’s return to the director’s chair as of recent. Ferguson contribued greatly to her role in the film which takes off initially as a wild card for lead character Ethan Hunt as he and his team faced off with a rogue terrorist organization of anti-spy mercenaries nearly equal in skill and scope. Moreover, the actress who is currently tackling director Tate Taylor’s thriller, The Girl On The Train, is also the first actress to come aboard the film with more information pending on the remainder of the cast.
