The Leaked Trailer For Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol: Blurry, French, Confusing, But Kind Of Awesome

I only barely know what’s going on in this trailer. It’s a leaked trailer, it’s in French, and apparently it’s recorded by someone in the midst of an apoplectic fit. But it’s interesting.

The Mission Impossible series is an interesting study in films and sequels. The first one is quite good — a little dated now, but still very good and highly entertaining. The second one, directed by John Woo, is fucking atrocious and the less said about it, the better. The third one is a pretty divisive picture, as is the case with a lot of JJ Abrams projects. Personally, I loved it. It was full of illogical, fast-paced fucknuttery, but it had a superb cast and some wicked action sequences, and it was just fun, damn it.

The fourth entry has another monster cast — Cruise, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton, Jeremy Renner, Léa Seydoux, Josh Holloway, and Michael Nyqvist. It’s supposed to have some absolutely ridiculous stunts. To make things even more interesting, it’s directed by Brad Bird (The Iron Giant). Anyway, here’s the blurry, leaked trailer, dubbed in French. Good luck in figuring out what the hell is going on. From what I can tell, Tom Cruise punches a lot of people and things explode.

That looks like it'll be fun. Not boring, which is awesome.

Where's Michelle Monayhan?? Did they forget about his wife from the last movie. The one he spent all last movie trying to save. Maybe she's having a baby and had to sit this movie out.

STOP. CALLING. THESE. "Mission Impossible" the only IMF team was featured in the first one. From then on they became "Closeted Midget Self-Fellation Possible" The primary reason why I wouldn't piss on Tom Cruise if he was on fire is because of what he's done to this series. And to think that just this morning I was watching "All the Right Moves" and thinking to myself, "maybe, you know, Tom was a semi-decent up and comer etc." Then, I'm reminded how he uses the Mission Impossible concept to promote himself as some sort of super soldier, a one man demolition team. DA FUCK OUTTA HERE, Nancy. It's just fucking pathetic and makes him look even gayer.

BarbadoSlim needs a quick buttfuck to get his aggression out. I'll oblige.

I will continue to watch and enjoy MI2 because Thandie Newton is a hot piece of ass in it and Hans Zimmer wrote an awesome soundtrack for it.

Has anyone ever tried that trick she does where she has an envelope in the crook of her arm and then she surreptitiously drops it into her hand while walking? That shit's hard. Although I imagine being a skeleton with skin draped over it like she is might help.

If I remember correctly all 3 previous movies have bad guys who were either ex-IMF agents or double crossers. Whoever is running that agency needs to review their hiring practices.

Not enough Josh Holloway. BTW I love his short hair in this.

Wow, crazy that Tom Cruise is the only actor mentioned in the trailer. Is that a French thing? I wonder if the American trailer will be different. If I had to advertise for this, I'd highlight the ensemble cast WAY more. They're gonna have to scrub pretty hard to get the Cruise stank off.

Holloway and Renner are the only reasons I would watch this, and they don't even get named in the trailer--lame. I wouldn't see this in the theatre anyway. On the bright side, Sawyer is getting work. :) If Bardem falls out of Dark Shadows, he would be a good replacement.

Bah on this, I'm more excited about Captain America.

This reminds me of other god awful things with no redeeming qualities.

"in one hour"..."Kremlin"..."Kremlin"..."What do we do now?"..."your mission, if you accept"..."[incoherent Eminemisms]"...{punchety-wunchety}...

That's all I've got, which is a crying shame considering how many years I spent learning French.

Agreed the only good one is part one. Now Cruise is just a couch-jumping Scientology-freak who I wouldn't piss on either. Even in interviews he's over-acting, he's just a psycho alien-babble dude who is David Miscavige's bumchum.

Good Eminem soundtrack, Jeremy Renner, Sawyer,
tallest building in the world, international settings.....

I've wasted more time on less. Count me in.

BrandoSlim, for a minute there I thought I was watching 007. Imagine my shock when M was suddenly Simon Pegg instead of Judi Dench.

Two things that struck me immediately:

1. A threat of global nuclear war
2. Tom Cruise jumping around roof tops with his man bag

Let's take 24 and mesh it with Bourne and we're done.

But I'll still see it.

Brad Bird is directing. That's enough for me.
