Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation

JP Liz V1

Tom Cruise apparently trying to get David Beckham for a role :P

No director (Christopher McQuarrie rumoured to wanted by Cruise) or cast (bar Cruise himself) attached yet but would be cool if JJ Abrams came back as director, even though Brad Bird did a good job with Ghost Protocol (MI4)

MI3 and Ghost Protocol were both excellent I thought, MI3 is my favourite of the franchise, the first one was on recently it hasn't aged well at all.

Cantona's Collars

Wasn't there a story in the Sunday World that some of it is to be filmed in Ireland?

Hmmm, wasn't there also confirmation that Star Wars Episode VII would be filmed in Britain? In which case, Northern Ireland would be a possibility, so technically the tabloid would be right then I presume whatever tax breaks Westminster gives to film productions would apply to NI as well? I guess that's why Game of Thrones is filming its more pastoral scenes there.

I thought the Game of Thrones thing was through Screen NI but if its tax breaks that might be uk-wide.

Star Wars eps 4-6 and 1 were filmed in England (Pinewood?) so they may return there.

Ethan Hunt in the Dail in the disguise of Alan Shatter to take out Mick Wallace :P

Cannot wait for this. Great series so far this one will be even more epic.

Meh tbh, least the previous ones had nicely varying directors, McQuarrie has made what 2 movies?

Way of the Gun (2000) and Jack Reacher. Can't really remember much of the first, but I still can't get over how sloppy Jack Reacher was.

Did he not do Valkyrie?

Even though Jack Reacher was not really like the book it was a competent enough action film.

Still two more than Abrams had made when he directed M:I:3.

Teaser trailer just released for Mission : Impossible Rogue Nation

All that sunshine and motorbike chases remind me of the dreadful MI2.

I liked MI2 but the motocycle "scene" felt like it was the second half of the movie.

I liked MI1. It took about 5 re-watches for me to figure out whats going on, but once you get it, its pretty good. I thought 3 and 4 were instntly forgettable. In fact, I've forgotten the salient details, aside from Ethan being married and going to buy ice. And a girl in a yellow dress getting out of a lamborghini.

The teaser looks like half way between 2 and 3. Girl in yellow dress and motorbikes.

Im having a tough time finding my interest in this one to be honest.

I still have no idea and long came to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter. As Ebert said, the film is about Cruise looking cool while doing cool things for reasons that aren’t important. How the hell are you are supposed to pay attention to the plot when Emmanuelle Béart is on-screen anyway?

Some plots aren’t meant to be understood. I’ve seen Chinatown (which Towne also wrote) dozens of times but still don’t get the whole business about the water supply. Ditto all that stuff in Vegas in Godfather II. I’m sure if I paid attention to the plot it would make sense, but the plot is the least interesting thing about those films.

For me the MI series is one to throw on, sit back and just enjoy the eye candy. The plot in the first film is fairly straight forward but told in such a convoluted manner that it's easy to get lost in just what is occurring. I rewatched it a few months back and would be hard pressed to recall anything plot related but could easily describe in detail all the set pieces. It's pretty much a competently directed Michael Bay film which favors spectacle above all else.

Sad Professor

Based on the trailer my only concern about this film is that it’s another Ethan-goes-it-alone mission after the refreshing teamwork and camaraderie of Ghost Protocol.

The full trailer is out now: seems the IMF is under attack from within and its own allies. Again. :rolleyes:

The Black Oil

Bad Robot's still involved, then.

'An anti-IMF', is that most serious Pegg's character has ever been in this franchise?

OU812

That plane scene.... Whatever you think about cruise, you have to admire the fact that he gives 100% to every role.

Grays Sports Almanac

They love a rubber mask and a voice altering microchip!

Looking forward to it. Always enjoyed them, apart from the second one.

Looper007

Its one of the Franchises that actually gets better (although the disappointing John Woo directed part 2 was sadly very boring, I think Cruise got Woo at the wrong time). 3 and 4 were excellent action films and Cruise pulling off the action hero role is a thing of beauty. Still the best scene from any of the MI films is glorious moment from MI3

Scary as hell and the closet moment MI has got to a scary villain.

I'm sure I read Jessica Chastain was approached and offered the female lead in MI5

Looks okay so far. Enjoyed Jack Reacher, so I'll give this one a chance. Hasn't Roger Moore already done the plane seen a few decades back?

I'm surprised he wasnt asked to write the screenplay for MI5 ,as he is an excellent writer.

The two guys actually writing it are pretty much unknowns.
One guy co wrote the dreadful Iron Man 3 and the other guy writes computer games.

Yes great villain, can't even remember the others.

I honestly can't imagine Chastain doing what Rebecca Ferguson is doing in that trailer. :pac:

The IMF - the most infiltrated spy agency in the world.

Loving the trailer but how often are they infiltrated/ disbanded?

Is there any of them that are straight up get the bad guy movies?

Canis Lupus

Will there be a Tom Cruise running scene is all I want to know.

veganrun

I thought Ghost Protocol was one of the best films I'd seen in a while. It really surprised me how good it was. They spent some time on story in between the set pieces and character development which I liked.

Whatever you think of him you have to give Tom credit for his stunt work when he makes films.

You actually believe that BS about Cruise and these stunts? He's been peddling that nonsense and deception for years.

Do you have anything to prove it's bull**** apart from your own opinion? He was photoshopped onto that skyscraper in Dubai was he?

The Dubai stunt was even more a BS story than this one. Unreal the folks buying it.

Whatever was done there is no way in hell he was attached to that fooking plane when it took off. Don't be so naive. There are stuntmen who spend an entire career perfecting stunts like falling off tables and jumping from 1st story houses etc, and this clown is making out that he flies across the tallest skyscrapers on earth and hangs from planes. It's a spoof job and I am amazed that folks fall for it.

BTW, who is giving Tom the clearance to do all this? Who the fcuk would insure this or sanction this madness?

Did you even watch the video? Because if it's fake it's better FX than most blockbusters are capable of. The burden of proof is on you to prove it's all a PR stunt, beyond 'I don't like Tom Cruise'. I don't like Cruise either but I respect the fact he seems happy to do his own stunts. It's rare but actors do it.

walshb wrote: »

I suspect Cruise has enough cash in his bank account to offset any insurance issues.

I rate Cruise as a top class actor. Always have. But this BS about some of these stunts is odd. Not a hope he performed them. We are in the 21st century and have a lot of tricks and gadgets to give off the illusion.

I remember he was on the Late Late show for the Oblivion film. Owl Tubs wasn't buying it. He was bang on. I don't have to prove anything. I don't believe it. It's that simple, and I think folks who do may also believe in Santa Claus.

BTW, I am aware that some actors do their own stunts. Jackie Chan was real. Cruise just takes it a step too far with the BS about what he is doing.

Hanging and dangling off a skyscraper almost 1000 meters high and now this nonsense. Fook off, Crusie!

FunLover18

I don't get your logic, if a stuntman coule do it or why couldn't Tom Cruise? Are people limited to one thing in life and his thing is acting?

FunLover18

Why would a studio or anybody bother to go to all the effort of "faking" these stunts?

Equally, we are in the 21st century when film studios can't even keep their emails locked down, or spoilers from set-filming get rumbled by passers-by with smart phones. You say there's no way in hell he does it, yet equally there's no way in hell he could keep doing something that grandiose and arrogant / insane without someone, internal or external to a production, coming out and telling the truth.

Wing-walking is a thing, heck it's a thing you or I can happily do - apparently it's about £400 according to a quick google search - so it's not inconceivable a film crew could rig up something that looks like Cruise is hanging on for dear life. Going by the video he looked barely able to move. Just like wingwalking.

I believe it's genuine, because it's there and the making-ofs give me no reason to doubt; and no, I don't believe in Santa Claus :rolleyes:
