Title Candidates And Character Details For The New MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE Film?!?!
Merrick here...
Leo K. sent along some details about the J.J. Abrams produced, Brad Bird directed MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE IV that's currently shooting.
While Leo is (technically) an unknown/untested source to us, he/she did provide a bit substantiation for the details he/she conveyed, making all of this feel pretty solid. So, we thought we'd pass along the info below for your consideration.
Some of this may or may not reiterate nuggets we've previously gleaned. Some of it is new material (like the proposed titles for the project).
In summation, Leo K. says that several titles are being mulled for the new project - not the least of which is...hold your breath...wait for it....wait for it......MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE IV (or 4). Other notions being considered? MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE: PROJECT ARIES and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL. Leo says that Lea Seydoux will play a female villain, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE's Anil Kapoor and THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO's Michael Nyqvist will also appear as badguys. Both Jeremy Renner and Josh Holloway will appear alongside Cruise on the Impossible Missions Force, along with Paula Patton (PRECIOUS, DEJA VU).
IMDB says Michael Giacchino is scoring this film. Hardly a surprise given the movie's pedigree, but I look forward to hearing his score. Thought is work in the third picture was a lot of fun.

would be a bad choice. but they need to do better than "PROJECT ARIES" and "GHOST PROTOCOL". "PROJECT ARIES" espically has no xfactor to it.
-
Ha! AICN suckered!
-
Even with Seymour Hoffman you couldn't make any of this fuckers that entertaining
-
has been shooting on location, so i will assume he is part of the team. or at least "tech guy in the van"

MI4: Move over, Tommy Noseface: Here comes Sawyer!
-
Keep it simple. No need to break the pattern at this point. Everybody is just gonna call it MI4 anyway.
-
Whatever the title is, it's going to really struggle to be better than MI1, it's still the high watermark of the series as far as I'm concerned.

...Tom to stop making this shit.
-
...anyone to make a good Mission: Impossible movie.
-
...crying out loud Brad, give us another Incredibles!
-
...why Brad Bird is involved in this. He's way above this sort of movie.
-
It's so secret that the screen will be black while the movie is on the screen. <p> There will be no sound, no advertising, nothing. <p> If you even talk about it, you will be targeted for termination by extreme prejudice.

Mission Unlikely.

JJ Abrams is the new Steven Spielberg!! <p> Riiiight...

Seriously, has their ever been such an uneven series of films where each one is stylistically different than the last with very little in the way of James Bond/Bourne style familiarity. This series has suffered because frankly Ethan Hunt as played by Cruise isn't the least bit interesting a character. What drives these films is action set piece after action set piece. I'd love to see a great M.I film and I think it can happen but I feel the formula needs to radically change. I'm not sure what direction their taking this one but if it's same old same old Ethan roll out a villian and have Ethan in a series of high octane set pieces before saving the day and having a 100 million close ups of his skin and hair, then i'm not interested. Time will tell. I though M.I 3 was the best of the bunch thus far.

Let this shit die already.

I´d rather much see an adaptation of Epyx´ 80´s videogame IMPOSSIBLE MISSION http://tinyurl.com/2pyurx

It's about the Chrysler K car.

They really like the ":"

Too bad a guy like Lee Marvin isn't in this fucking thing. Imagine Lee Marvin, Gene Hackman and Steve McQueen in a MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE movie 30 years ago. Yeah, we're amongst mere children with today's stock of male film stars.

Should be the title. It alludes to there being a force and more then just Tom Cruise.

The Electric Boogaloar

is that a gay porn?

I'll see this movie if he has a decent part. He's the only actor in it I would be interested in seeing.
-
Is he in? It just wouldnt be the same without him.

Knowing Hollywood's track record i expect Luscious to get killed in the opening credits.

Shit sounds slick.
-
...a good title.
-
GIVE US THE INCREDIBLES 2, DAMMIT!
-
...Paramount to pull the plug on this?
-
...Megan Fox to get a job.
-
Impossible.
-
...Brad Bird to drop his shit right now, walk off this project, catch the next flight to San Francisco, march into John Lasseter's office, and say, "God Damnit John, why the fuck are we not making an Incredibles 2!?"
-
...Disney to wonder why too.

Merrick - You do realize that Michael Giacchino...
by The_Genteel_Gentile
just pretty much totally adapted Lalo Schifrin's original themes from the series. Giacchino did a great job of that but he didn't really bring a lot new to the table. Not enough for me to get excited at the mention of Giacchino, whom I do admire but whom has also quickly gotten way overrated. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like him but he's just not all that original guys.

Mission: Impossible: The: Most: Horribly: Awkward: Title: Ever..
by Fa_Tass_DinoMolester
After "AVP-R: Aliens VS Predator - Requiem".
-
saw it long after it was out on DVD, so long after all the hype / bad press / couch-jumping / Matt Lauer-incident ... I was expecting it to be awful because that was all I had heard about it, and because it didn't make a Billion dollars it was considered a failure ... I thought it was pretty decent and Seymour Hoffman was just great in it ... the only thing I didn't like was the bit at the end where his fiancee goes from being a terrified civilian to Nikita in about thirty seconds, but it was a decent little spy/action flick with some good stunts and humour and decent acting ... and yes, I include Cruise in that sentence: say what you like, he can sell being an action hero ... who would rather see as Ethan Hunt? Mumble Diesel? Shia LeHam? .... so I will reserve judgement on MI4 until I see it.

You're welcome.

AICN sucking up to their true boss... again.

Mission Impossible IV: Tom Cruise Lord of The Human Tools
by Arcangel2020
Maybe the 4th installment of this series will be actually watchable all the way through? Does anyone think that the support cast is going to really get recognition for this film when it comes out? I don't think so...it's going to be all about Tome Cruise..Tom Cruise this/Tom Cruise that..Tom blah blah blah blah Cruise (How life is great, how great it is being marrried to Katie, their kid Suri) If you actually "listen" to Tom Cruise talk in an Interview? You can tell that guy just LOVES to go on about himself (I wanted to reach into the screen and choke the shit out of him during the "Hollywood Shootout" episode on A&E)...Mission Impossilbe IV" Tom Cruise IS Lord of The Human Tools..coming soon to a theater near you...unfortunately.
-
But I thought she couldn't speak english. And how is she getting this role? Going from having no lines in Inglorious Basterds to a villain role in MI4?
-
sucking shit all of a sudden.
-
and best of the trilogy.in fact i think it is the most faithful to the spirit of the original series as well.and i do like the other two movies too.but i prefer MI3.
-
Ja thats pretty im-fucking-possible
-
I loved MI3....MI2 was absolutely terrible. Boring as fuck.
-
Mission: Impossible IV: Mission: Impossible and the Rise of the Unnecessary Subtitles
-
MI3 is a piece of shit. The fucking mvoeit hat made me give up on Tom Cruise forever. a self-satisfying ego trip disguised as a fucking movie directed by a fuckign hack that seems to not understand the concept of filmming for cinema is differrent from filming for TV. His next movie only proved what a fucking clueless clown that fucking hack is.
-
plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose
-
See what I did there?
-
Gold!

First the hair is similar to mi2, now they have another chick that's *kinda* similar to Thandie Newton ala Paula Patton. Which is fine by me, she's a good looqin chiq and her hubby Robin Thicke seems to be a pretty coo' guy.

GHOST PROTOCOL looks like the most likely candidate for the title, but they will drop any reference to IMF and barely connect it with the other movies and that way they don't have to pay anybody . No IMF theme, no IMF awesome, no Phelps reference, nothing. It's the perfect reboot - all the brand recognition without any of the licensing fees. WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF MOVIES BASED ON BELOVED PROPERTIES! Expect a new wave of films that sort of barely reference the source material and don't actually have any of the parts that reference rights but sort of resemble them. Sort of like picture a story about a guy who shoots "strands" from his hands and climbs walls with "nanotech" and is named "Parker" but isn't actually called Spider-Man and nobody refers to him as SPIDER-MAN and he fights no actual supervillains. THIS IS THE FUTURE OF COMIC BOOK MOVIES AND THE FUTURE OF LICENSED PROPERTY MOVIES! MARK THESE WORDS!

The score for MI:2 was genius!
-
He pussified spy fiction with his ALIAS nonsense. He pussified mindfuck with his mental retarded LOST. He pussified SF with his Star Trek In Name Only abomination. He will futher pussify SF with his whatever it's called next movie he fooled Spielberg to spend money on. And he will pussify even futher the action genre with his overlordshipness of MI4. The man is in a quest to turn all movie genres into images of himself, a retard untalented pussy fuck.
-
And how AICN rejoiced at it. Somebody should make a THE SOCIAL NETWORK style movie about how Jar Jar Abrams is fucking up american TV and cinema through his quest of pussification.
-
I'm clueless about a shitty overrated "director" and his shitty movies? To quote the song, the joke is on you, friend.
-
Sure. But i don't base my opinion on what's said on the studio's marketing department and an hack's own personal publicity. I base my opinions by watching the movies. There's a difference there.
-
The score from MI2 was the truly only good thing i took from that movie. Whileit's not all great, it has some truly very good moments. MI3 doesn't even have that. That Michael Giacchino clown has to be one of the most overrated non-talent composing scores going about. His only good score was for THE INCREDIBLES, and that's because it's a complete rip off of John Barry's spy movie scores. When people praise the score of THE INCREDIBLES, they should praise John Barry, not that Giacchino douchbag.
-
The colonic irrigation.
-
you were saying?
-
While we disagree on some things, I'm glad to see we agree on this point! <P> MI:2 may not be perfect but its a million times better than 3!!!
-
That is literally all this is about...
-
Just like the last three fucking films.

MI2 is dumb. MI3 is insulting.
