 if you're excited for Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
 
Ranking Renner: Who Are His Best Characters?I’m going to tell you something you probably already figured out for yourself at one point or another: Jeremy Renner is awesome. After spending years under the radar, the actor has absolutely blown up in the past five, earning two Academy Award nominations and taking three roles in some of the biggest action franchises currently running. But how do his five greatest characters stack up against each other?...by The CB Staff | published: 2012-08-10 13:26:58comments
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol Sequel In DevelopmentBack in 2006 the future for the Mission: Impossible franchise didn't look great. Despite solid reviews from critics, Mission: Impossible III underperformed at the box office, at least partially due to the rantings and odd behavior of star Tom Cruise. Still, it did make enough internationally to warrant a sequel, and thank god that it did. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, released last December, turned out to be one of the best blockbusters of 2011......by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-03-08 14:09:35comments
Holiday Weekend Box Office: 2011 Goes Out A LoserThe box office got a boost as 2011 departed and 2012 arrived. Sales were up considerably from last weekend's Christmas holiday and the new year is off to a solid start. But despite those bits of good news, overall 2011 was anything but a banner year for ticket sales....by Scott Gwin | published: 2012-01-02 22:07:24comments
Holiday Weekend Box Office: Hollywood In The Red For ChristmasAfter a slow start for movies opening early on Wednesday, the Christmas holiday rallied a bit into Monday. Overall, box office results were slightly higher than the same four day holiday weekend last year, but that's small consolation for an industry that saw a major ticket sale backslide in 2011....by Scott Gwin | published: 2011-12-26 16:22:33comments
Mission: Impossible On Track To Win Holiday Weekend Box OfficeWith a glut of high-quality new movies in theaters this weekend, the moviegoers of America took a look at their options and chose… none of them. Well, that's not exactly true--Mission : Impossible - Ghost Protocol is on track to win the weekend with $39.5 million for the four-day holiday weekend...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-12-25 12:52:53comments
Dragon Tattoo Opens Strong On Tuesday, But Is Beaten By Mission ImpossibleThis weekend both will be competing against new openers like The Adventures of Tintin-- which opens today-- and We Bought A Zoo, War Horse and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, all of them opening throughout the weekend. What had initially looked like a huge Friday bottleneck has spread out a little bit thanks to early bows for Mission and Tattoo...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-12-21 17:06:29comments
Brad Bird Talks Using IMAX Over 3D For Mission: Impossible - Ghost ProtocolBetween the release of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol as well as the prologue for The Dark Knight Rises, the last few weeks have featured many debates about the benefits of shooting in IMAX vs. 3D. People who are fed up with wearing sunglasses indoors and believe that it doesn’t get more immersive than a 70mm print have been arguing that the real future of cinema is the super big screen that only IMAX can provide....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-12-21 13:41:26comments
Sherlock And Chipmunks Underwhelm At Box Office, But Mission Impossible Is Already A HitMeanwhile, in just 425 theaters, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol made $4.7 million on Friday, and is on track to earn $12 million-- which, if it had opened last weekend, would have been almost enough to unseat New Year's Eve from the #1 spot. It's still possible to give a lot of that credit to the prologue for The Dark Knight Rises that's running in front of it...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-12-17 11:25:29comments
Operation Kino Podcast #41: Mission Impossible And The Adventures Of Tintin ReviewedThis week on Operation Kino we're reviewing two of the year's very best action movies, as we tackle both Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and The Adventures of Tintin. As a result there's no segment three, but we still kick things off with a lightning round dedicated to Chipwrecked's Jason Lee...by Operation Kino | published: 2011-12-16 12:00:52comments
The Dark Knight Rises Prologue Helps Mission: Impossible Make $1.1 Million At MidnightToday isn't technically opening day for Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol but as it opens on 425 IMAX screens across the country with a preview for The Dark Knight Rises running in front of it, it's managed to make a big box office splash anyway...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-12-16 11:18:39comments
Does Mission: Impossible Prove IMAX Is The Future Of Moviegoing?If you see even a frame of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol on the largest screen possible, you'll know what I mean-- and if you see it on IMAX, you might be too busy scraping yourself up off the floor to read this. The new film from Pixar veteran Brad Bird, which opens today on IMAX screens and everywhere next Wednesday, is the most spectacular narrative use of the large-screen format maybe ever...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-12-16 09:44:33comments
Jeremy Renner And Tom Cruise Catch A Train In New Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol ClipWe've seen so many clips from Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol that I half expect that the movie will be officially released online tomorrow evening. Over the past few weeks Paramount Pictures has sent out five different clips from the new Brad Bird-directed action movie, some of them featuring incredible stunts, others just showing off banter between co-stars....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-12-15 14:00:31comments
3-Minute Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol Clip Has Tom Cruise Running Through A SandstormWhen I went to an IMAX preview of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol two months ago, I had the chance to watch two separate sequences from the Brad Bird-directed action film. The first was a scene in which Tom Cruise scaled the outside of Dubai's Burj Khalifa (the tallest building in the world) and the second was an epic chase in the middle of a sandstorm....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-12-13 14:37:18comments
Tom Cruise Gets Ready To Take A Big Step In Extended Clip From Mission: Impossible - Ghost ProtocolWhile I know that IMAX theaters aren't available everywhere - the release schedule for The Dark Knight Rises prologue tells that story pretty clearly - if you can see Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol in a real IMAX theater you should. That first step out the window that Ethan takes will make you feel like you are right there with him, and you shouldn't be surprised when you start experiencing vertigo....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-12-09 14:31:49comments
Simon Pegg Won't Open The Door In New Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol ClipSet to debut in IMAX on December 16th and be released wide on December 21st, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol has Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) being forced underground with a ragtag group of IMF agents (Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton, Simon Pegg) after they are blamed for an explosion at the Kremlin in Russia. With no contact or backup, they decide to go rogue and not only clear their names, but find the people who are actually responsible....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-12-08 18:20:18comments
Brad Bird Discusses Using IMAX In New Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol FeaturetteWhile the wide-release date for Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is on December 21st, movie-goers that live near IMAX theaters will have the chance to watch the film early as the film opens in those format-specific theaters next Friday. As I reported back in October, 25 minutes of the new film was made using IMAX cameras, the first time that a blockbuster feature has used the technology since Christopher Nolan did it with for 2008's The Dark Knight....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-12-07 17:25:31comments
Jeremy Renner Takes A Dive In A New Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol ClipDoes he make it? Does he get chopped to bits? It's hard to say (not really, considering he's expected to take over the franchise). I am curious to see that suit in action, as it looks like your ordinary piece of clothing, but listening to the dialogue my guess is that it's some kind of wind suit and Simon Pegg "catching him" means turning on the fan just fast enough so that he will float before hitting the ground....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-11-22 19:44:31comments
Simon Pegg And Jeremy Renner Talk Strategy In New Mission: Impossible ClipFor obvious reasons Tom Cruise has been the real focus of all the advertising for Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, but he's not the only returning cast member. While we've yet to see Ving Rhames in any of the advertisements (he has confirmed that he will be in the movie), Simon Pegg, who is doing his second go-round as computer expert Benji Dunn, is a major part of the film's main group of heroes....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-11-21 18:24:24comments
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol Unleashes Character PostersAside from just looking nice, I think it's interesting how the slug line is different across the posters. The core IFM team of Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, and Paula Patton all get "No Plan. No Backup. No Choice," which fits in with the movie's conceit of the team being framed for bombing the Kremlin and having to go on the run. However, if you pay attention, the text on the other posters reads "No Plan. No Backup. No Mercy."...by David Wharton | published: 2011-11-16 14:37:25comments
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol Gets Two Action-Packed TV SpotsThe BMW spot actually has more of what I’m interested in, which is Bird’s directorial style for his action sequences. As you know, this is a filmmaker coming off two brilliant animated features in The Iron Giant and The Incredibles. And while Dash’s … uh, dash through the jungle in Incredibles ranks as one of my favorite action set pieces in a Pixar film, that doesn’t mean Bird will make a smooth transition to live action. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-11-14 13:01:05comments
Brand New Trailer For Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol Arrives OnlineJust a few moments ago I published my reaction to a IMAX preview for the upcoming winter blockbuster Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. I was told to hold my coverage of the event until 4:30pm PST, and at that time I could let everyone in the world know what I thought of the 20+ minutes of footage....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-10-27 17:51:01comments
Tom Cruise Defies Gravity And More From Our Mission: Impossible 4 IMAX PreviewIt's a shame that filming in IMAX isn’t nearly as popular as filming in 3D. As Christopher Nolan proved when he filmed select scenes of 2008’s The Dark Knight using the larger format, IMAX brings epic filmmaking to a whole new level. While Nolan’s incredible achievement hasn’t made the impact that it should have, one director paying attention was Brad Bird, a filmmaker largely known for making animated films such as Pixar’s Ratatouille and The Incredibles....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-10-27 17:27:10comments
Tom Cruise Tempts Gravity In Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol FeaturetteThe Mission: Impossible films have veered all over the map when it comes to quality, but one thing you can always count on is for them to deliver crazy, over-the-top action. Opening this December, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol looks to be no exception. For his first live-action film, director Brad Bird is clearly thinking big, as demonstrated in this new behind-the-scenes featurette, which spotlights Tom Cruise dangling off the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the tallest building on the planet....by David Wharton | published: 2011-10-26 14:43:39comments
Tom Cruise Brings His Team Together For New Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol PosterTom Cruise may be the star of the Mission: Impossible franchise, but in the fourth entry - Ghost Protocol - he has one hell of a supporting team surrounding him. In addition to Simon Pegg, who returns for his second go-round as the risible Benji Dunn, Jeremy Renner and Paula Patton have also joined the hero Ethan Hunt in his mission (should he choose to accept it) to save the world from evil....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-10-25 13:16:04comments
The Dark Knight Rises Preview Will Only Be Available In Real IMAXAs reported last week, a six-minute preview for the finale of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises, will be attached to IMAX screenings of Brad Bird's Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. The situation seems like a win-win, as both films made extensive use of IMAX cameras during production, meaning that the best way to see each individual film will be on the biggest screen imaginable....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-10-24 19:22:46comments
Dark Knight Rises Prologue May Run Before Mission: Impossible--Ghost Protocol In IMAXYes, Dark Knight Rises is a Warner Bros. movie while Mission: Impossible is coming from Paramount, but Dark Knight Rises made extensive use of the IMAX cameras, and I can see the studio wanting to show off some footage on the gigantic screen to entice audiences to come back and see the whole thing in July...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-10-19 11:56:22comments
Tom Cruise Reaches New Heights In Mission: Impossible IMAX PosterThe striking shot references the breathtaking high-wire stunts Cruise performed on the side of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai – the world’s tallest skyscraper, and just another playground for the fearless action star. In Ghost Protocol, Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt, leading spy fro the IMF who is forced, once again, to go off the grid when he’s blamed for a bombing at the Kremlin. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-10-03 12:17:10comments
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol To Be Released In IMAX Theaters Five Days EarlyI'm not sure if this move will play out as well as it did for Transformers, as Mission: Impossible 3 was the smallest box office draw for the franchise, but this is definitely an interesting promotion. What we've seen from the movie so far is pretty awesome, and the IMAX footage only makes it more intriguing....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-09-28 16:03:14comments
Tom Cruise Glares At You In The First Poster For Mission: Impossible - Ghost ProtocolIt would seem that the marketing team behind Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol likes seeing Tom Cruise wearing a hood. It began with the film's first teaser trailer, where protagonist Ethan Hunt is seen sneaking around with his head covered, and then they released a new image with the exact same hood. So guess what article of clothing is prominently featured in the film's first poster?...by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-09-09 12:06:38comments
Tom Cruise Glares At Jeremy Renner In New Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol StillIn the new film, Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his team are framed for a terrorist attack on the Kremlin and are forced to go underground to find the people that are actually responsible. In the new image, Hunt is meeting with Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg), Jane Carter (Patton) and the mysterious Brandt (Renner). While I'm not a board certified expert on body language, looking at this picture I think that Hunt may be ready to punch Brandt square in the jaw...by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-08-18 14:08:17comments
New Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol Image Has Tom Cruise Ready For A FightThe movie stars Cruise as his Ethan Hunt character in another spy mission. This time he’s teamed up with a younger agent, played by Jeremy Renner, in what may turn out to be one of those passing the torch things… or I suppose could also turn into Mutt in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Let’s hope it’s the former. ...by Josh Tyler | published: 2011-08-08 12:38:39comments
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol Pushed Back Half A Week, One Shot Gets February 2013Apparently today was the day that Paramount decided to have a big meeting about it's upcoming release schedule. Just a little while ago it was reported that J.J. Abrams' Star Trek would no longer be making its debut on June 29, 2012 and that, instead, G.I. Joe: Retaliation would be taking the spot. Now one of the studios other major franchises is packing up its bags and making a shift of its own....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-07-27 15:38:01comments
Paula Patton Talks Mission: Impossible Action; Laz Alonso Doesn't Know About Avatar 2 YetWhile the answers were fairly vague, I will say that I'm very happy to hear about Patton getting in on the action for Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. After three movies, only Tom Cruise and Ving Rhames have returned for each one, while actresses like Emmanuelle Béart (for obvious reasons), Thandie Newton, Maggie Q, Keri Russell (again, obvious) and Michelle Monaghan have never lasted more through more than one film....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-04-16 19:41:52comments
