No, wait a second, you haven’t been transported back to 1996 when the first in the Mission Impossible franchise was released but rather I am talking about the fourth in the series of the films which see’s Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, an IMF agent, working for an unofficial branch of the CIA return in Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol, which is due out on Boxing Day this year in the UK.
Paramount have released the first posters for the film below that see Cruise in a hoody, clearly he is down with the kidz, able to show that he understands how to dress like them (despite the fact that Cruise and a kid’s height may not be too different?) but this style may show the grittier edge of the series as mentioned in the synopsis for the film; “The IMF is shut down when it’s implicated in a global terrorist bombing plot. Ghost Protocol is initiated and Ethan Hunt and his rogue new team must go undercover to clear their organization’s name. No help, no contact, off the grid. You have never seen a mission grittier and more intense than this.”
As well as the style, I am intrigued by the numbers on the poster, what do they mean?
The film is being directed by Pixar’s man, Brad Bird who is known to work in action with The Incredibles, so it could be quite a similar film? It also stars Jeremy Renner, Josh Holloway, Paula Patton, Ving Rhames, Tom Wilkinson and Simon Pegg.
