Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol Reviews, Interviews & More

Brad Bird has firmly established himself as an inventive, exhilarating director with a flair for wild, intricate, and kinetic visuals that play like pure eye-candy with heart—from his animated works (The Incredibles, The Iron Giant, and Ratatouille) to his surprisingly awesome live-action debut with Mission: Impossible Ghost...

Following the strong success of Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, it was always highly likely that we were going to get a Mission: Impossible 5.  However, since a solid chunk of the Ghost Protocol was given over to introducing and establishing Jeremy Renner’s character (basically all the parts that weren’t completely awesome) in order for Renner to take over...

Those hoping for another Brad Bird-directed installment of Mission: Impossible (his work on the last film not only made it a tremendous hit for Paramount, but a giddy and insanely fun popcorn film) will have to finally let go, and it’s been reported today that the likely director of Mission: Impossible 5 will be writer/director Christopher...

We watch a lot of movie trailers here at ScreenCrave, and, as we inch closer to summer with its ever-increasing torrent of new films, we're seeing more and more previews with each passing day. As we do so, we can't help but notice some similarities, repetitions, and clichés among them. Here at Trailer Park, we'll be offering a rundown of those clichés, where they come from, and which...

It's New Year's Eve on Saturday, which means 2012 starts Sunday and we'll be getting a non-stop stream of Mayan apocalypse jokes about everything. For the cinemas there are two movies opening: Pariah (12/28) on four screens and The Iron Lady (12/30) on another four screens. These are qualifying runs, and it's likely that Meryl Streep will get...

It was a merry Christmas weekend for Tom Cruise's new movie Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. The fourth film in the Paramount franchise topped the box office with an estimated $26.5 million in ticket sales. Robert Downey Junior's Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows grabbed the second spot with $17.8 million. Alvin and the...

Though the holiday season tends to bring out some blockbusters, Christmas itself is a terrible day for movies. And this year, with Christmas Eve on a Saturday and Christmas on a Sunday, we're not going to see strong weekend numbers from anyone. Something that's going to repeat next weekend with New Year's. Then again, it's been a weak year, and last weekend proved it. This weekend we get...

Though he took his licks for his public insanity, Tom Cruise is now back as a movie star in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. But perhaps more exciting for film geeks is the launch of Brad Bird as a live-action director. The two work together to create a stunning action movie that's lightweight but filled with all the great action one hopes for in an event...

Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise battled it out at the box office this weekend. Unfortunately for Cruise, it was the Warner Bros. sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows that scored the win. Fortunately for Cruise, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol only opened in IMAX, which means it's off to a pretty good...

The holiday season is on us, and - though often there's hit films over the last two months of the year - it seems this year the last couple films of 2011 are crammed in like a poorly packed suitcase. Last week was softer than soft, but this week brings Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Alvin and the Chimpmunks: Chipwrecked and...

This Fall has been modest in comparison to many other recent years, in terms of major film releases. On paper there were a number of films that could have been $100 Million plus titles, but only Breaking Dawn has done blockbuster business, and has remained on top of the box office for three weeks. That's going to change with the release of New Year's...

The final Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol trailer has debuted, and the word is Bond. James Bond. That seems to be what stars Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner, and director Brad Bird are going for in this action packed-looking film. That's always been the word, in some ways, as it deals with special agents and spy toys, but all the previous films have been saddled with mole hunts. Here- at...

The pattern to this point with Mission: Impossible posters is the giant floating head of Tom Cruise. But that pattern has been dashed as the latest poster for Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol has Cruise sharing his poster with Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton, and Simon Pegg. The full size poster for the film follows after the jump, check it out...

Well, I guess now you actually have a reason to fork over the money to see Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocal (a.k.a., Mission: Impossible If You Pay To See This They’re Just Gonna Keep Making This Crap) in an IMAX theater—IMAX prints of the new Tom Cruise film will also feature the first six minutes of the upcoming The Dark Knight...

Tom Cruise is looking at you over numbers! Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol has been getting good buzz for a while. Which is shocking considering that Tom Cruise was a washout not so long ago (like last summer). Thank the people behind the film for that (read: Brad Bird). But what's been consistent in the franchise are the posters. They're all about Tom...

What  difference four years and a new director makes. Tom Cruise returns to his franchise role of Ethan Hunt in the new Mission: Impossible film Ghost Protocol, but the real star of the trailer is director Brad Bird. Known for his work on Pixar films like The Incredibles and Ratatoulie,...

In the past decade, Simon Pegg has appeared in some of the most popular cult films and television shows around. He starred in the UK series "Spaced," which featured frequent collaborator Nick Frost, as well as Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, which were co-written and directed by Edgar Wright. Lately he's had the opportunity to broaden his horizons with huge tentpoles like...

This year several highly anticipated sequels are headed to theaters including Michael Bay's Transformers Dark of the Moon (July 1), and Brad Bird's Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (December 16). Not to be outdone, JJ Abrams will also make his presence known with the sci-fi project Super 8 (June 10) and we can't...

You know, for a short guy he's sure not afraid of heights! We already saw some photos of Cruise hanging around the Burj Khalifa the largest building in Dubai, but some new photos have just popped up of him looking like he's sitting totally at peace sitting on the top of the building, all by himself. Gizmodo talked to Gerald Donovan, one of the photographers who was taking shots of Cruise...

Tom Cruise is turning into an adrenaline junkie. It's no secret that he likes to perform his own stunts in movies, whether they include fight choreography, motorcycle riding, or car chases. He's currently in Dubai filming the latest installment of his Mission Impossible franchise entitled Ghost Protocol and he's hanging off the tallest...
