Japanese MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL Trailer has different, albeit familiar music!
Hey folks, Harry here... I'm incredibly excited about Brad Bird's entry into the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE franchise. I love a great deal out of Brian DePalma's. Would love to see a full on John Woo - director's cut of the second, but that theatrical cut was a whole lot of BS. But I loved Abrams' MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - even if I feel it was a bit more Tom-centric than I'd have liked... but everything I know about Brad Bird's entry is that this is a TEAM effort film. That we're going to get some amazing IMF things going on - and I really hope we get a Nimoy or Landau cameo. (Haven't heard anything, that's just a personal wish.) I've heard that this entry is going to really blow us away.
That said, the Japanese have a slightly different trailer. I'm pretty sure that every image and cut is the same, it's just... somehow it's alot more Mission: Impossiblishy. Click that funny word to see for yourself!

Good luck on the Nimoy cameo - he's retired except for voiceover work.
-
Same uninspiring and typical trailer.....
-
Way better without the Eminem trash.
-
HATED the rap music used in the US version, here's hoping if that song is even in the movie it's religated to the end credits so i can walk out of the cinema quickly and not have to hear it.
-
Seriously, who thought to use that song in the US cut of the trailer? It made it feel like a Fast and Furious wannabe instead of Mission Imposible. THIS is more like it.
-
...Directors shouldn't let marketing departments get their dirty paws on their films. Only an American Marketing department would chose the music it did for the domestic version of this Trailer. Fire them.
-
The women in this film don't look my type (wish Maggie Q was back), but other than that it looks excellent.
-
I'd love to see a good, atmospheric trailer use those pieces. Unfortunately, the Mission Impossible franchise is a different beast now. I've love for them to take it down a notch, more like the first film. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy it is, then?
-
Seriously, is he in this one?!?
-
It's not just the music, there are a lot of shots different. More blonde chick, less Jeremy Renner.
-
It would be better if, mid air, Tom turns to face the camera and says "This mission just got a hell of a lot more impossibler" BOOM!
-
The white fellow performing negro music was far more exciting. Fuck the Klansmen who hate rap because it's black people music. You know who you are.

Sometimes they seem ambarrassed by the Lalo Schifrin... And sometimes there's a whole Lalo Schifrin going on...

It's waaay better when they embrace it. And, yes, where is Rhames? Who else is going to play Tom's work wife??

People complain about becoming numb to big effects because they're so overdone these days. I think someone should have a word with Hollywood about Big Plot Syndrome. Why does the IMF have to get involved with an exploded Kremlin & possible nuclear war? I like it when movies tone down the end of the world scenarios a little. The Rock was only about San Francisco. Casino Royale was about one shady money man and a card game. Executive Decision was about one plane. But they are the exceptions. Most of the time we're asked to buy into Big Plots where the whole world will be frozen/blown up/infected/smashed by an asteroid. Big Plots have two flaws. First they make the story less personal or real or whatever - somehow I can only buy into them as excuses for set pieces. They just don't feel like real stories most of the time. Second they stretch credulity. Think about a general actually calling in air strikes on an American city just like that in the Transformers movies for example. The first MI was about EVERY NOC IN THE WORLD getting killed. The second was a virus that could WIPE OUT EVERYONE IN THE WORLD. The third went more Maguffin-y. Now we're back to Big Plot Syndrome. I wish they'd go smaller one day. I'm sure the result would be way more engaging.
-
This is the greatest piece of music ever written for an action/thriller series. Why the FUCK not use the hell out of it???
-
Has been cut out and the trailer flows so much better without him. I guess the American execs are worried about Cruise's supposedly waning appeal, but the Japanese want the big star.
-
And, yes, where is Rhames? Who else is going to play Tom's work wife??
-
The Last Samurai made about $120 million in Japan alone (amazingly that's more than it made in the US), so Cruise is still a demigod there, and no surprise that they go full-on Cruisetastic with this trailer.
-
considering the ending of the movie makes a mockery of Japanese culture...
-
I just watched the US trailer for comparison and the Japanese trailer blows it away. If you're doing a trailer for Mission Impossible, the only music the audience should hear is the Mission Impossible THEME.
-
I want to reply to someone's comment directly, and quote him. Thankyouverymuch. asiandawn: he's dead. Tom fucked his brains out after part trois.
-
Just recut it with the MI theme already who knew that the crap rap track would be so misplaced.....time to fire the genius who decided that for sure!!!
-
why is whatever is printed on his t-shirt blurred out? It was burred out in the US trailer as well- weird. on a side note, it would suck to have to move a large amount of belly fat out of the way to have to pee. right harry?
-
I can't wait to see!!! I know everyone's down on Tom Cruise...but he's that bomb & I can't wait to see what Renner pulls out. Love it.
-
Keep in mind, I'm judging it on it's action scenes( and in no way denfending script and acting). That movie sold me on Tom Cruise being a badass.Honestly, to me-they've all been decent. The third probably(for me) was the least favorite,but NOT a bad film at all. Much like Harry Potter, I've enjoyed a new director coming in presenting a different looking type of film.Anyhow, MI:2 was dope.bitch
-
this is the music I and everybody else loves. m&m had no place on the English trailer. Yes, I know that's not how you spell it. (I still hate clowns)
-
And I liked the other trailer, even the music, but this is just... awesome.

God, that is SO much better. Now it looks like MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE -
by Laserbrain
And *not* like every other generic, numbskull, teen-targeted, piece of action dog shit. It's also cut better. It doesn't have that irritating stop-start, anti-pacing that the US trailer did. Good work, Japan.
-
Than Lalo Schifrin's original Mission Impossible music. One of the best themes evah!
-
Seek "Che!"(1969) Very beautiful score. Hugo
-
F'ing 1996-era HTML and no edit feature...
-
the lack of sound effects here hurt and the little exchanges between Cruise, Renner, and Simon Pegg were really nicely cut together in the domestic version.
-
correct. well kind of. people that know/ love movies prefer the original MI music. but studios need to cater to minorities and women in order to get them into theaters- thus eminem. the studios already know they have your money so why pander to you? So they advertise to hip hop La-Sha Jaquem who only goes to a movie once a year and says "oh, shit" every time something explodes.
-
It's great to see people with functioning brains make comments. You're right.

Why isnt DePalma given another shot? Fuck parts II and III.
by SmokieGeezer
-
That just works. It makes sense with that theme song in there. The trailer was obviously cut to that music and some asshole marketing genius said "No, no, that doesn't have enough appeal to the young douchebags of America. Lets add some douchey rap music to douche it up." Leave it to the Japanese to make it right.
-
i think
-
I: a good, solid entry. Good show pieces, but a weak overall script. II: weak overall, some good action and nice visuals. III: the one the first movie should've been. IV: could potentially be the best. Hopefully Wilkinson won't turn out to be the bad guy in the end. That would ruin it.
-
Thank you~ I'm just glad there is a thread on the net where people aren't saying over and over and over how Prizoner of Azcaban is the best HP film- I think i've read that more in the past weeks then I have stuff the actually relates to DH2-
-
LOOK AT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Sounds like it's just been adding in as a last minute change, hopefully it will have a better finished result...
-
because Japanese men are quite small.

however, forget the cruise-bashing, it looks like a fun film
by ragingfluff
it's a Mission Impossible film. They're supposed to be silly. I like silly. Although I think this one is probably just a giant commercial for Tourism Malaysia
