The latest, Tom Cruise starring, Mission Impossible film is due out at the end of the year. It is being produced by JJ Abrams (Star Trek, Super 8, Alias) , who directed Mission Impossible III; which is considered by many (myself included) to be the best of the 3 and certainly the closest the series has come to actually resembling the team based nature of the TV show the films are based on.
It marks the live action directing debut of Brad Bird, extremely well respected writer /director of The Iron Giant, The Incredibles and Ratatouille. The film co-stars Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker, The Avengers), Paula Patton (DeJa Vu, Jumping The Broom) and Josh Holloway (Lost) and sees the return of Simon Pegg (Star Trek, Paul) from MI:3. No I do not know why there’s now a colon between the words Mission & Impossible, but I’m sure there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation, maybe.
The plot involves Cruise and his entire IMF team being disavowed and having to prove their innocence (they are about to be hung out to dry for blowing up the Kremlin, which we assume they didn’t) and on the run from Jeremy Renner and the authorities. There some cool Eminem as well as the iconic ‘dum dum, dum dum, dum dum, dum dum’ music to go with some pretty impressive visuals and enough shots not involving Tom Cruise to let us hope that the JJ Abrams’ story, scripted by Josh Appelbaum (Alias), follows on from MI:3’s team based antics.
M:I:IV hits IMAX and cinemas around the world this December. Your Mission, should you choose to accept it is to click here for your county's release date...
