I'm starting to worry it's going to be another bulletfest. maybe not as ridiculous as MI2, but most pictures I've seen make it look like it's going that way...

The trailers are supposed to look that way because they have to make people want to go see it. Sorry to say it but there is a group of people that wouldn't go see it unless the trailers had some heavy action.

And did you guys hear about what Cruise did recently? Wow. Its weird that I hate him as a human being but I love him as an actor.

[Hunter Rider]

Most of the gunfight stuff shown is actually from 2 sequences,the opening part where they capture Hoffman and the highway sequence where Hoffman's men rescue him
Their seems to be a large portion in Italy built around infiltration and cons as opposed to action

I get it, I really do. I'm just being cautiously optimistic I guess. I really want this one to kick ass. :up:

[JackBauer]

keyword being team work. first one was still a little far from that, focusing only on Hunt. I was hoping they'd change that with this one, making it more of an ensemble, but I guess I'm out of luck...

[Hunter Rider]

it wasn't going any further than that. at least not from me. :O

yeah i know:) I was just throwing it out there as this is a fun thread on a movie as opposed to a heated argument thread

No actually i like Tom Cruise but thanks:)

Well it seems there is more to do for the likes of Q,Russel and Rhames from what ive seen but yeah in a $150M movie they are gonna keep it more focused on their lead

[RedIsNotBlue]

No actually i like Tom Cruise but thanks:)

Well sorry for going in this direction but I have to ask...sorry. Do you agree with him pulling that South Park episode? It seems very unconstitutional to me.

[Hunter Rider]

understandable, really. for that kind of money, no one's taking any chances. which is something that's been plaguing Hollywood for quite some time. but that's a whole other discussion for another time.

if there is one guy who could do a great ensemble piece out of this, though, it's Abrams.

I agree there,it's a viscous circle,i also agree that JJ can pull it all together,he is talented visually but more importantly he makes characters central as opposed to afterthoughts
The big thing here though is gonna be Hoffman who could lift this to another level IMO with a truly awesome bad guy

yep, he was reeeeeally creepy in the teaser. great an actor as he is, I never thought he could act, look and feel that cool.

seriously, it gave me a real Lecter vibe. depending on the script, Hoffman might just deliver one of the best villains in recent years. :up:

[RedIsNotBlue]

I have been a huge Hoffman fan since Boogie Nights. He has been a great actor for so long I am glad he is finally getting roles that his full potential can be reached.

Very lecterish,just so cold and sneering:up: I think Hoffman is a bit of a chameleon as far as his acting goes from the movies ive seen him in

Should be a good summer for screen villains with Hoffman and Spacey:up:

Theres a connection,hoffman starred in a lecktor.

I honestly think this may be the best of the trilogy..I think we may be going back to basics...with Hunt...going off on some kind of vendetta..

I wonder if Ethan Hunt will be using the incredibly acrobatic martial art skills he shows in MI2?

[Threshold]

I hope we get another poster, a final theatrical poster, that has a little more flair to it. Get some of the team on it and show a bit of the action. I get the feeling that selling this movie with Cruise's face is going to be more of a hinderance this go 'round.

"Do you have a wife,girlfriend,or boyfriend, because I'm going to find her or him, and I'm going to give them therapy, then I'm going to give you Zoloft in front of her or him."


Ethan Hunt tries to rid the world of pshychiatric therapy this Summer in M:I3.

From the latest Premiere magazine....

Billy Crudup plays John Musgrave, the IMF's operations manager. Of actors like Crudup and Hoffman, Abrams says, "I knew that if we didnt have people with the innate talent to take moments that could be perceived as arch and asinine and infuse them with depth, we'd be screwed."

[TheVileOne]

In the movie, Hoffman plays the director of a satiric animated TV series. When he says he's going to kill Tom Cruise in front of his girlfriend, he means he's going to kill Tom Cruise's animated spoof character while his girlfriend is watching. Tom Cruise has to keep that from happening.

[Hunter Rider]

instead of trolling here why not keep your hate in yoiur little TV thread:)

[TheVileOne]

Its not trolling. And my typing is readable.

I don't see why its trolling when I don't have this reverance for Tom Cruise and MI movies that they do not deserve.

Oh please save it,it's not about Cruise at all
your post had nothing to do with the movie,you were just being a facetious ass thus trolling,your beef is all about this retarded south park show so keep it in that thread that you have been soap boxing in for days

[TheVileOne]

There's something to be said when Tom Cruise censors a program that's been on for a decade.

I also don't see what the big deal about this movie is, another big, loud Hollywood action movie with lots of 'splosions. Tom Cruise will kick a lot of rear and get the girl at the end. An Alfred Hitchcock movie will get ripped off badly. Just like the second movie.

[Hunter Rider]

All your opinion and it still has zero to do with this movie,don't like it ? fine go bump the Bourne thread or whatever but your initial comment was just a basic troll

I havent gone through this thread but if you know or didnt know but the first song from the Mission Impossible 3 soundtrack was given to radio stations 2 weeks ago

Kanye West featuring Twista and Keisha Cole- "Impossible". The video (featuing Tom Cruise) is suppose to be on MTV sometime in April and there currently wrapping up production on it

Anyways I found the track on DJ Kay Slay's new mixtape so I thought this might intrest y'all (Pardon DJ Kay Slay screaming on it a couple of times, it was off a promo mixtape so...):

I havent gone through this thread but if you know or didnt know but the first song from the Mission Impossible 3 soundtrack was given to radio stations 2 weeks ago

Kanye West featuring Twista and Keisha Cole- "Impossible". The video (featuing Tom Cruise) is suppose to be on MTV sometime in April and there currently wrapping up production on it

Anyways I found the track on DJ Kay Slay's new mixtape so I thought this might intrest y'all (Pardon DJ Kay Slay screaming on it a couple of times, it was off a promo mixtape so...):

As long as this music isn't "cleverly" inserted into the film it will be okay.

[cyborg ninja 14]

This movie looks like GARBAGE. The trailer showed frames of either Tom Cruise jumping out of a building (implying he will do that roughly 15 times throughout the film), and running with a cell phone.

[Hunter Rider]

The song is pretty good as a laid back summer tune but i don't see it fitting with the movie,i was expecting a more aggressive type track like Jesus Walks

[Super_Ludacris]

It's on some James Bond type vibe. Suave action

i think he's right, this new song doesnt fit MI3 IMO... then again, maybe the video will change my opinion

[Super_Ludacris]

Of course it will, Kanye and Twista are on some super-spy vibe with this track. You know how Kanye does he'll be all suave in the vid doing some spy action or something.

10 X better than fat boy screaming why people wanna hate him

Well obviously Kanye will look better and is infinitely more talented than Durst as Durst is a turd but the only place in the movie i can see this song fitting is in the scene with Hunt and his wife at that party

I think its more creative and flip it and make a new one.

I don't think anyone is saying it isn't a good track,hell im playing it now but i don't see how it will fit with scenes of gunfights and cars blowing up

ah but for those scenes all we need is an intense Orchasteral Score

[Hunter Rider]

ah but for those scenes all we need is an intense Orchasteral Score

Oh yeah in the film itself i see it fitting into the party scene i mentioned and the orchestral score accompanying the action,im just wondering as a promotional tool how they are gonna work clips from the movie into a video for such a laid back song when the clips are all high octane

[Super_Ludacris]

Probably in the end credits, song kinda reminds of something that should be in a James Bond flick for some reason

[Sava]

are there any other songs West is doing for this movie?

[Super_Ludacris]

Well the story goes that Jamie Foxx took Cruise to a Kanye concert early this year/last year and Tom was blown away and he begged and pleaded (threatend?) him to do a cut and some other stuff. I dont know if he's implicitlly doing the whole soundtrack it maybe a mix like the last one (Limp, Metallica etc) but I would imagine Kanye already got enough on his plate this year. Other than touring he's gotta finish Lupe Fiasco's album, Common's next one, do a few cuts for the Nas album and then The Graduate (his third album) comes out in the winter. When did he have time to do the whole soundtrack?

[Sava]

i really hope he does atleast one more for MI3 and his time with the MI theme

[D'Artagnan]

Well the story goes that Jamie Foxx took Cruise to a Kanye concert early this year/last year and Tom was blown away and he begged and pleaded (threatend?) him to do a cut and some other stuff.

[KenK]

As long as Michael Giaccino is doing the theme at some point in the film, I'm happy(is it him doing a variation of the theme in the trailers we've seen thus far?). And I hope they do the homage to the series, with scenes from the film cut into the opening credits like they did on the first film(which is finally getting a decent Special Edition DVD).

[Sava]

ok... i've listened to this new West song and i have to say that its growing on me..

New interview with Abrams...
http://www.infocusmag.com/06april/abramsuncut.htm
IMPOSSIBLE
MOVIE FORCE

The Creator Of TV’s ALIAS and LOST Arms Paramount’s Biggest Movie Franchise

Read the print version.

By Mike Russell

Like the resurrected “Superman” franchise — for which J.J. Abrams wrote a controversial, unproduced script a few years ago — “Mission: Impossible III” struggled through a long and abortive pre-production history.

Veteran directors David Fincher (“Seven,” “Fight Club”), Joe Carnahan (“Narc”), and Frank Darabont (“The Green Mile”) all spent time in producer-star Tom Cruise’s offices, trying to figure out how to continue the adventures of IMF superagent Ethan Hunt.

So how did Abrams — the TV strongman who created the teen drama “Felicity,” the sci-fi spy serial “Alias” and the castaway blockbuster “Lost” — get to make his big-screen directorial debut on a $150-million Paramount tentpole?

Abrams, who wrote and directed acclaimed pilots for both “Alias” and “Lost,” traces the opportunity to the distribution of freebies. “I met Tom with Steven Spielberg during ‘War of the Worlds,’” he recalls. “I wasn’t available, because I was working on a version of ‘Superman’ which never happened, and I started doing ‘Lost’ and pilots. It was a great meeting, but I had to tell him I couldn’t do it, and I thought, ‘There goes my opportunity to work with these guys.’”

Flash-forward several months. “I was shooting the ‘Lost’ pilot, and I got a call from Tom. When he left my office, my assistant gave him the DVDs of the first two seasons of ‘Alias’ as, um, swag — and he actually watched them, which is miraculous. And he loved them. He wanted to hang out when I got back.

“I thought ‘Mission III’ was going swimmingly [without me]. He never brought up any issues, but I guess things just weren’t working out. And he asked me if I was interested in directing it. I told him I couldn’t start for about a year — because I was working on ‘Lost’ and ‘Alias’ — and I told him I’d want to start over with the story.

“He said, ‘OK.’”

Abrams laughs. “You know, the odds of that happening were zero. The whole thing was impossible.”
In Focus spoke with Abrams for almost an hour, about “Mission: Impossible III,” “Alias,” “Lost” and related matters. (Be sure to marvel at how carefully he dances around “M:I III” character and plot details.) A transcript follows.

_____

The first “M:I III” teaser trailer seemed to echo the very underrated “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” — what with the agent’s significant other in peril, plus a bulky, well-spoken villain.
Well, not intentionally — although, as a happy by-product, I’ll gladly be compared to anything that's underrated or of any quality. [laughs]

The story — while in no way based on that, and in fact being incredibly careful to avoid “Bond” comparisons — definitely has similar themes. I think you’ll see in [“Mission: Impossible III”] a side of Ethan Hunt that hasn’t been in the films before. Tom gives an unbelievable performance.

I remember one director saying that Cruise told him something like, “You want one more take? I’ll give you a hundred more!”
Yeah, pretty much every day, something would happen where I’d say, “Let’s go again. Are you okay to try something different?” And his response, almost invariably, was, “I’m here to work!”

This is a guy who could get to the set at noon and leave at 3 every day if he wanted to. And the physical punishment — unlike a stuntman, he’ll do physical scenes, and then he’ll have to keep going with emotional and dialogue scenes.

It’s hard to really appreciate the amount of work he does unless you consider what goes into shooting a movie of this scale over this period of time.

You said Frank Darabont is one of your “favorite writers and did unbelievable work on the [‘Mission: Impossible III’] script.” So what made you decide to start over?
I wanted to start from scratch because it wasn’t my voice. It wasn’t my story. It wasn’t the kind of approach that I would take. Not to say that it wasn’t brilliant, or that if Joe Carnahan or Frank Darabont had directed that installment, it wouldn’t have been unbelievable — I’m sure it would’ve been.

Was the Darabont script the one that was rumored to involve Africa and black-market organ rings?
A portion of the Darabont script took place in Africa, in Ghana. It was incredibly well-written — a classic, densely plotted thriller. It was terrific. It just wasn’t the version of “Mission: Impossible” I thought I could do.

There was too much at stake to come in and work on a story that I didn’t feel, in my heart, was sort of my territory. It's not just the money that's at stake: I feel beholden to the franchise that Bruce Geller created — the spirit of the TV shows, the movies, the character that means so much to Tom. He’s incredibly proud of his first producer effort. I was shocked that he was open to starting over.

THE HEAVY HEAVY &
HUNTING FOR HUNT

Well, let’s talk about your version. What’s the story with Philip Seymour Hoffman’s character?
On the face of it, if you say, “Phil Hoffman and Tom Cruise are gonna be matched intellectually and physically,” you think, “Tom Cruise will probably kick his ass.” [laughs] But when you see this movie, Phil Hoffman is so imposing and so scary and brutal. He infuses the role with wit and honesty. There’s nothing worse than a bad guy who feels flimsy or arch.

Even though the lines he has in the trailer are wildly over-the-top, that exchange suits him in that moment. I don’t think we’ve seen Ethan Hunt go up against somebody so dangerous.

Can you tell me anything about the character Hoffman’s playing?
Uh … not much. [laughs] I can say that he essentially plays a provider of, um, materials to organizations and countries that jeopardize the stability of the world. This guy is essentially the middleman who gets bad people bad things — and it’s a priority for Western intelligence to find him and take him out. He’s incredibly elusive and sophisticated.

And what begins as a fairly generic story — “there’s a bad guy and he needs to be taken down” — becomes a very specific and very personal story through the movie.

The typical story is that actors love playing juicy villains. Still, I can’t help but wonder if Hoffman, being a serious fellow, found a way to torture himself while playing this nasty son of a *****.
We laughed all the time. Phil’s sense of humor is wonderful and dry and self-deprecating. I actually met him years ago, just after college. He has incredibly strong opinions about how he wants to play something, but he takes notes and suggestions and incorporates them into what he does. While he’s very serious, he is in no way one of those Actors with a capital A. All he cares about is that what he’s doing is good. It was an incredibly ego-free set.

We hear the movie will deal with Ethan’s home life. Is he married at this point? And what role does Michelle Monaghan play?
She’s a love interest. You’ll see how that relationship works.

To me, the fun of the story — and the crux of my approach to this film — is where the professional side of this super-spy meets the personal and intimate side. The conflict exists for all of us: How do you maintain a home life and a personal life with any real commitment, and maintain a professional life at the level you aspire to?

Well, the only personal aspect of Ethan Hunt’s life that we’ve seen up to this point is him rock-climbing at the start of “Mission: Impossible II.”
And you’ve learned in “Mission I” that his parents died. But aside from those two moments, there’s really not any sense of this person as a person. He’s always a super-person.

The fun of “Mission: Impossible” was always the teamwork. One of the beautiful things in this movie is that we’ve got Maggie Q, Ving Rhames, Laurence Fishburne, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Billy Crudup, Keri Russell, Simon Pegg … this credible supporting cast. The teamwork, for me, was always the greatest part of the “Mission” TV series. And in “Mission I” and “II” — with some exceptions in “Mission I” — they’ve really been Ethan-Hunt-as-spy movies.

That isn’t to say that “Mission III” isn’t ultimately Ethan’s movie — it is — but the team has a crucial role in the entire film. For me, what’s fun in the film is watching how these people work together, plan an operation and execute it. The supporting cast is as much a reason to see this film as any of the stunts, or even Tom himself.

CHARACTER
in ACTION

Each director put his own stylistic mark on the first two films, particularly when it came to action sequences: DePalma echoed Kubrick and Hitchcock, Woo echoed, um, Woo. I’m wondering how you’ll be shooting the action in MI:3.
I think the critical thing for me is that we never cross a line and get into physical impossibility.

No wire-fu?
Well, I’m not saying there wasn’t some wire removal in the movie —

Well, sure.
As much as I’m a fan of “The Matrix” and many of Woo’s movies, my fear in this film…. My fear in general is that I have no idea if I have a style at all. But my fear was that any style at all — whomever I was borrowing from, or whomever I might get inspired by — would overshadow the story.

So my decision was to approach it from a standpoint of serving the story, so I never came into something with an aesthetic choice leading the way. It was always, “What are the characters going though?” It was a relief for us, in a way. By constantly focusing on what needed to be dramatized, it dictated its own style.

You’ll see that the action is incredibly hard-core, very fast-paced — but there are equally intimate scenes that are emotionally incredibly pitched.

And the approach to the action, for me, is clarity. In action scenes, there’s often so much freneticism, you get lost in terms of what the hell’s going on. What you’ll see, during our seven substantial action sequences, is that you know where you are.

We didn’t design any of the action sequences first — I didn’t want the action scenes to be dragging the characters through them. I wanted the characters to be driving all the action. What the actors are attempting to achieve makes the action exist.

To me, in the most exciting action movies — “Die Hard,” “The Fugitive” — each sequence, big or small, was completely connected to what the characters wanted, and why. I was aspiring to a movie that was fundamentally a character piece — even though it happens to have more action than the first two “Mission”s combined.

People always forget that it was 20 minutes before the first bullet was fired in “Die Hard.”
It’s actually, I think, more than 20 minutes. Look at “Back to the Future”: It took over half an hour to really set up everything before he went back in time. Or look at “Tootsie”: They spend at least a reel of the film, if not more, setting up who Michael is, who his friends are, how desperate he is — so that when he’s walking down the street as Dorothy Michaels, you’re so engaged in that story….

Now, that isn’t to say that you don’t want to start a movie off with a real punch. And I think we do. But it’s critical that you invest the audience in the characters — especially in a sequel.

When you look at the “Indiana Jones” or “Die Hard” sequels, as successful as they are, there’s something about those movies that doesn’t invest as much in the characters. You can’t assume, “Because the first one or the second one worked, you know who he is. Let’s just get to it.” I think every minute you don’t spend investing the character makes it that much harder to care about what he or she is going through in any action sequence.

Sure. And of course, you had the granddaddy of all TV fight scenes at the end of one “Alias” season. [I’m referring to the epic Sydney-Evil Francie kitchen fight at the end of Season 2.]
The two women?

Yeah. I know people who swear by that action scene as one of the best they’ve ever seen on TV.
[laughs] That’s very sweet. There’s actually a scene in “M:I:III” that that fight scene in “Alias” was training for.

What did doing years of doing spy television teach you about doing a spy movie?
Doing “Alias” and “Lost” — beyond the fact that I never would have gotten this opportunity if it weren’t for those shows — was undoubtedly the greatest training ever. Knowing how to work on the timetable that television requires. Getting to understand the genre as shorthand….

Tom had an uncanny ability to discuss the conventions of the genre with such ease that it felt very much like a meeting with any of the “Alias” writers. We both knew the kind of second- and triple-guessing we needed to do in order to tell some of these stories. It was important in terms of combining a pulp genre with true emotional situations. It was important in terms of action sequences — I’ve spent hundreds of hours in the editing room with action sequences I have or haven’t directed, getting a sense of what works and what doesn’t.

So when I was on the “Mission” set, I had this bag of tricks I knew I could pull out if I needed to. And I had a comfort level that allowed me to show up on the set and try and be as creative as possible — the way I used to when I was a kid, and I would go on vacation with my parents and walk through a hotel lobby and go, “How could I film a chase scene here?” I’d always look at every place I went as a location for some kind of action sequence. Had I not done “Alias” or “Lost,” I’m sure I would have been far more insecure about what choices to make.

‘MISSION’
RESTORATION

The “Mission: Impossible” TV series was born in 1966, the same year you were, and was out of production before you entered the first grade. Did the TV series have any influence on how you approached the movie?
Well, I became familiar with the TV series when I was very young, in reruns — but I also re-acquainted myself with it during the early “Alias” years.

For me, the most critical thing in approaching the movie was not borrowing from the TV show — with one major exception, which I’ll tell you about. It was more that I wanted to bring the spirit of the show’s teamwork to the movie. The fun of watching a group plot and execute some kind of mission was something I didn’t feel was as critical to the other “Mission” films as I would have preferred. This was an opportunity to not be the Monday-morning quarterback, but rather to make the movie that, for better or worse, I want to see. And the teamwork is part of that.

The exception was: There’s a cue that Lalo Schifrin wrote [for the TV series] called “The Plot” that’s one of the great pieces of film or TV music ever. It’s as famous as the theme song for anyone who’s ever seen the show. Are you familiar with it?

I’m sure if I heard it, I’d know it. [J.J. Abrams starts humming “The Plot”] Oh, yeah yeah yeah!
I mean, literally — they’ve never used it in the movies.

That’s a crime.
And that’s the theme that was most often used when you were watching the team do their thing — it spoke of that IMF spirit. As much as the main theme song gets your mojo working, “The Plot” was the heart of the series. And the fact that it was never used in the movies was ludicrous to me. I get to bring that back. Michael Giacchino is composing for the movie, adapting Schifrin’s work.

Giacchino’s a great choice — he already did such a wonderful job weaving Schifrin [and John Barry] into “The Incredibles.” He’s a phenomenal composer.
And his storytelling skill’s as good as his compositional skill. He has an inherent understanding of character and story and rhythm and pace. Throughout the years, working on “Alias” and “Lost” with him, he’ll constantly suggest story adjustments or cuts or things that don’t quite ring true. He’s an incredible resource.

[green]

Part two...it's long I know. Sorry.


‘ALIAS,’ ‘LOST’
& JAMES BOND

When “Alias” concludes this May, will we finally learn why we zoom through one letter in the name of every city Sydney Bristow visits?
[laughs] You may or may not learn why. But ultimately, it really is just a convention of the show, as opposed to it having any sort of big answer.

We’ve discussed, along the way, various ways to play with that and kind of put it to rest. But we have sort of bigger fish to fry, in terms of concluding the end of the season and the series.

Will Milo Rambaldi play a significant role in the “Alias” finale, or has that ship sailed?
There will be a Rambaldi component to it. We would have actually gone there far more — and in greater detail, as we originally conceived it — if the network had been more amenable to that. But they were always very anti-Rambaldi, so we kind of had to pull back.

Did you ever consider a circumstance that would have necessitated casting Rambaldi?
We actually have. In a flashback once, you actually saw a piece of his hand, but you never actually saw who he was.

[brief pause] We actually have — yes.

Once “Mission: Impossible III” hits cinemas, do you see yourself taking a more active role in guiding “Lost’s” third season?
I’d love to become more involved in “Lost” next year — which, in many ways, would be almost anything, given how time-consuming the movie’s been. I’m incredibly grateful to Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse for running the show this year and doing such a great job. But I’d love to direct an episode. I miss those guys like crazy.

Everyone seems a little stunned that your bounty-hunter pilot “The Catch” didn’t go to series at ABC. What happened there?
I honestly think the show just wasn’t what ABC wanted on their schedule. To be honest, I think it was an uphill battle from the beginning — because the people who green-lit it to begin with were just no longer at the network. We did three pilots last year. One of them’s gonna get picked up. We’re doing another pilot this year called “Six Degrees” that’s terrific.

“The Catch” starred Greg Grunberg, whom I’ve worked with on “Felicity” and “Alias” — he was the pilot on “Lost,” and he has a small role in “Mission” — and he was terrific in the show. In many ways, I wish it had happened. In other ways, given how much I had to devote myself to the movie, it would have been difficult to do the pilot and then run.

As someone who straddles both worlds, what’s your perspective on working in television versus working in film?
My perspective is that any way you can tell a story and reach the audience is exciting and worth doing.

There’s a level of sophistication now — even in little kids — about story. Unconsciously, they understand the setup and anticipate the payoff of storylines. Maybe that’s because of the vast number of entertainment opportunities available now — they’re just besieged by stories.

So you have to really think: What is the reason you’re telling your story? What makes your story worth anyone’s time — to go to the theater, to turn the channel? You need to keep people from feeling like they’re watching something they can anticipate or predict. There’s too much out there that’s too well-done to assume that — because you have a star or a title — the movie’s gonna get the audience’s attention.

And the Internet allows for word to spread immediately about how something may or may not be worth your time. I think people are now gauging the consensus of what’s worth doing and what’s not. Even if the official newspaper and magazine reviews are good, if the online consensus is “Don’t waste your time” or “It’s a good rental,” you’re dead. If you’re seeing an increase in sophistication, whether it’s in television or in film, my guess is that’s it’s a reaction: “Oh, we have to make really good stuff, or people won’t come.”

Our ambition with “Mission: Impossible III” was to make a movie that’s good that just happened to star Tom Cruise and be part of this franchise.

You’ve spoken often of your love — some might call it a nerdly love — of the James Bond franchise. If Sony approached you to make a Bond movie, could you refuse, or did “Mission: Impossible III” scratch that itch?
If they did — and I can’t imagine they would — while it would be hard to refuse an opportunity like that, James Bond is such an iconic series, I almost can’t imagine being part of that. I need to be the audience for that — you know what I’m saying? It’s almost sacrilege to imagine working on those.

And from everything you’ve said, it sounds like you feel very strongly about authorship — and authorship is tough to pull off with something that established.
I think that’s true. That was the beauty of “Mission.” Unlike so many producers and actors who have a very rigid view, Tom literally said, “What’s your ‘Mission: Impossible’ movie?” I hope when you see the film, you feel that energy. And if you don’t like it, I’m 100-percent to blame.

Didnt they shoot a boat scene in the canals of Venice...

[Hunter Rider]

Didnt they shoot a boat scene in the canals of Venice...

Yeah but from the footage it just seems like the team traveling by boat rather than an action sequence:confused:

[JackBauer]

Great article,thanks green:up:
Good to hear the emphasis on teamwork and the action serving the characters and story

thanks for mentioning it, cause I wasn't really in the mood for reading all that. :D

That Kanye song is supposed to be online Monday. Well, the video anyway.

[The Trainman]

I don't get it! Is the song online over at Yahoo! Launch or isn't? ComingSoon.net is very confusing... :confused:

[Super_Ludacris]

The song has been all over the radio the last month. Where do you live?

[terry78]

The song has been all over the radio the last month. Where do you live?
The song I know about, the video I haven't seen yet. They play that **** out over here in the chicago area, for obvious reasons. And you know how most people on here don't listen to that genre unless you tell them about it.

[The Trainman]

The song has been all over the radio the last month. Where do you live?

Montreal... :(

[The Trainman]

I just heard it... WTF?!

[Backdrifter]

What is it called?

Nevermind. It is a cool song. But, but not for Mission Impossible....just no.

[Super_Ludacris]

Man the song is right for the movie. I mean if we can have Limp Bizkit we can anything

[terry78]

I know why you wanna hate me
I know why you wanna hate me
Now I know why you wanna hate me
Cause hate, is all the world has really seen lately

Yeah, those thought provoking lyrics were really a step up. :rolleyes:

I like Kanye, but what the hell does thatsong have to do with Mission Impossible
Bring back Bizkit

[Super_Ludacris]

^^^^ Dumbest statement ever lol. Especially the part of bringing back Bizkit. 'Ye put his own spin on a theme, he didnt even have to use the old theme (which WILL be in the movie anyway)

[unknownuser]

Just to clarify...
Green and I posted links to the actual theme of Mission Impossible composed by Kanye West and not the track called "Impossible"
It is an instrumental and was released on Yahoo Music yesterday

the links again:

the new theme is crap, well, not crap but not good either.

[xwolverine2]

nvm........

[terry78]

I think I'll skip MI:3.
No you won't. You'll be sucked into the TomKat, just like all of us. And you'll come out hailing Xenu.

[Super_Ludacris]

I'm actually starting to get annoyed at the media about tomkat and less on Cruise and Holmes. Eh who would have thought?

[Carter]

A new spin on something means that at it's core it's the same
I hear none of the MI them in that song

Terrible

The song itself isn't what's bothering me, it's the fact that it doesn't sound anything like Mision Impossible

And yes Durst's lyrics are garbage, but Wes Borland's guitar work is stellar

[Octoberist]

I'm for one who's not interested.

It's one of those movies where I went "They're coming out with another one? Why?"

[hey yo its sean]

Kanye's M:I:III theme is garbage

[hey yo its sean]

If you're talking about the track with him and Twista, that's not the theme.

[Carter]

Isn't he making his version of the theme?
Because that twister song better not be it

[Super_Ludacris]

Yo the Theme that Kanye did is BETTER than "Impossible" I'm feeling the drum machine and the keys on it. You know 'Ye was banging the MPC machine hard on this lol :) Oh it's so damn souful especially at like 1:50.


I'm listening to it now for the first time

I'm feeling it, that's hot. and I like the soulful break 3/4's in, you know he's to say trying Ethan Hunt is on suave **** with it.

Kanye did it again!

New M:i:III TV Spot and Art!

Source: Paramount Pictures
April 12, 2006




http://comingsoon.net/nextraimages/mi3tvspot5.jpg
Paramount Pictures has provided ComingSoon.net with a fifth TV (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14059#) spot for Mission: Impossible III (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=6882), opening in theaters (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14059#) on May 5th. The clip, which features new footage from the antipated sequel, can be viewed in various (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14059#) formats here (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=6882)! The studio has also released new bus shelter art (similar to the German poster), available here (http://www.comingsoon.net/cgi-bin/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=Action/Mission_Impossible_III&image=busshelterart.jpg&img=&tt=), and horizontal art, which is up here (http://www.comingsoon.net/cgi-bin/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=Action/Mission_Impossible_III&image=horizontalart.jpg&img=&tt=).

Tom Cruise (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14059#) returns as Special Agent Ethan Hunt, who faces the mission of his life in the third film of the franchise. Director J.J. Abrams (Lost, Alias) brings his unique blend of action and drama to the billion-dollar franchise.

Philip Seymour Hoffman (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14059#), Ving Rhames, Laurence Fishburne, Billy Crudup, Michelle Monaghan, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Keri Russell and Maggie Q co-star.

[MODOK]

I know I am being picky, but what do you all think of that explosion sequence on the bridge in the trailer?
It irks me because it seems to me Tom Cruise should be flying forward towards the camera since the explosion was behind him. I am still trying to figure out how an explosion behind him would blow him 90 degrees to his left...
Of course, I am no physicist.

[terry78]

I was walking to lunch, and saw the poster for this on a bus stop shelter, and some guys were walking past and one of them was like, "Part three? Why are they still making this ****?" I had to laugh, and he looked over and was like, "it's true."

[Hunter Rider]

Kinda a dumb question to ask,i mean Hollywood's number 1 goal is to make money hence why there are 4 Lethal weapons and 3 Die Hards and Bond 21 is in the works along with Indy 4,
when a franchise has had previously successful movies,studios wish to keep their faith in a proven product

[Super_Ludacris]

For real though, and this actually looks like it has potential (Cast and crew) but Tom gotta a lotta damage control to deal with (not just tomkat but MI 2 was atrocious in many people's eyes and those type of big budget action movies are flopping like the Island)

Agreed,although i think the fact the guy behind LOST is directing will help it somewhat
Honestly i expect a few movies to make less this year,i think last year set a trend and SR and POTC2 will feel this as well,DVD is changing expectations for Cinema BO IMO especially as relates to repeat viewing

Uhhh why is Mission Impossible being singled out? At least half of the movies in Hollwood being released are some kind of sequel, remake, prequel, etc. ...lol. But for me this is only Mission Impossible. I refuse to accept that other thing called MI2 as an actual sequel. :o

Well hence why said because of cast and crew this film got potential (throw in fat boy PSH too)

[Octoberist]

Even though that might be the case (with JJ Abrams directing), I still don't know what to think nor I'm interested in the final product. I probably won't see it in theaters. Trust me, I'm an open minded guy.

It's not because of TomKat but more like...I felt like this sequel is along the lines of "Legend of Zorro": Not needed.

Same could be said of Bond 21,POTC2 or Indy 4 etc..

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Zorro needed a sequel,bandares was to good a zorro not to do a sequel..

Oh and i agree with Hunter.

Well as long as these movies keep making enough money to warrant a sequel theres not really much to avoid it. The studios see an interest from the people and they give them more of it while they cash in.

[Octoberist]

HERE'S MY TAKE:

Casino Royale---- It's nothing against Daniel Craig, but I feel like they should give Bond a rest. He's done everything already. I have a fear that the producers might make Bond TOO REALISTIC and too Bourne Indenity like.

INDY 4--- I don't want this movie to happen. Sure maybe 10 years ago, but not now. Espically with Mr. Ford being Mr. Grumpy.

POTC 2--- My fear is that it won't be as entertaining as the first, judging from the sequel trends through out the years. And honestly, the plot is almost the same as the first...

[KenK]

It's not because of TomKat but more like...I felt like this sequel is along the lines of "Legend of Zorro": Not needed.

By definition, no sequel is "needed". Even Back to the Future wasn't meant to have a sequel, as the first film's ending was meant to be nothing more than a joke to end the film.

[Hunter Rider]

Wow Oct your pessimistic:(

[Octoberist]

Here me out: It's just my take but I'm keeping my expectations low. Here are the positives:

Casino Royale: I'm glad that they're trying to break new ground with this Bond. Grittier, edgier.

POTC2: I love Johnny Depp and the new fantasy aspect gives me chills.

INDY 4: .................10 years too late!

[KenK]

Stop trying to have it both ways!! Either you're looking forward to the movies, or you think it'll just repeat what's been done. Make up your mind! I can't stand indecisive people!:mad: (j/k)

[Octoberist]

MUAHAHAHA!

In sheer honesty, I'm looking foward to Casino Royale and Pirates 2. But I'm keeping my expecations low just in case.

Indy 4...on the other hand....let me say it again "10 years too late".

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I remember not caring for the first one and the sequel is one of the worse movies that I have ever laid eyes on. I would be an idiot to think that this movie is going to turn out alright. I forgot to mention, I hate Tom Cruise, I've hated his overated butt for years. I'm not one of those bandwagon jumpers.

BTW: Lost is my favorite show.

[Octoberist]

Well I did not read the whole conversation but when I saw that she posted that she liked the Spidey Movies & not the Evil Dead it sounded like (due to not reading the conversation) she was thinking / saying Raimi direct Mission Impossible 3 :o Which is why I brought up that JJ Abrams is the director & if theres one reason to see Mission Impossible 3 its to support JJ Abrams.
