The trailer for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, the fourth film in the franchise, is set to premiere in front of Transformers: The Dark of the Moon next weekend. But if you are really eager to check out Brad Bird (The Iron Giant, The Incredibles)'s live-action film debut, you can see the leaked French trailer below, courtesy of The Playlist. ****UPDATE: The bootleg has been replaced by the real thing. Enjoy!****
Little is known about the plot of the movie, but aside from franchise star Tom Cruise, Ghost Protocol has Jeremy Renner (who is rumored to take over the lead in the next sequel), Paula Patton, Josh Holloway, Anil Kapoor, Michael Nyqvist, Tom Wilkinson, and Simon Pegg reprising his role from Mission Impossible III.
Pretty damn exciting, right? I think Brad Bird is going to knock this one out of the park. The only part that bugs me in this trailer is at the start when Cruise gets thrown in an explosion - looks way too much like that now-famous shot on the bridge in MI:3. But other than that, the trailer looks great. What do you think?
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol opens on December 16th. Interestingly enough, this film stars Michael Nyqvist as the villain, and his Girl with the Dragon Tattoo co-star, Noomi Rapace also has a film opening December 16th - Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Furthermore, both films open 5 days before David Fincher's remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Hmmm.
