But I have been hearing that they are going to start focusing on another characters within the M.I universe. From how I see it, it feel a little wrong. I mean, Tom Cruise isn't too old to be an action hero. One of his "gifts" is his youthful looks. And he's still very physical and good with stunts. We don't need to be afraid of him getting aged out of the character for years to come. As long he's still in good shape, I can see him playing Ethan Hunt when he's 55.
Rather than introducing a different lead character, they could fint a new Ethan. If you want someone with the same hair color as Tom, go pick Mark Wahlberg. Well, he's not as good actor as Tom, but he will manage the action part.
If you rather have someone with talent, take Jude Law. Him being Brittish won't destroy the franchise, it might even give it a different shine.
Don't bring his accent up, I am sure he can change that to sound American.

What the heck, give the role to Christian Bale and you will get both talent, the hair color and the right physics.

Now what would be the best "new" Ethan Hunt? Mark Wahlberg, Jude Law or Christian Bale?

And why is Jeremy Renner in both Mission Impossible and Bourne? Has Hollywood run out of actors for this type of secret agent action films?

Last I heard, Ving Rhames wasn't in it because he was holding out for more money. I don't know if they ever worked that situation out enough to get him in for a cameo.

The absence of Michelle Monaghan is less of an issue for me. She's part of Ethan's home life that we never got a glimpse of until part 3. If Ethan's on the job for the whole movie, she wouldn't be in it. Unless they throw in a quick phone call home or something.

Paula Patton...WOW!

I am getting a positive vibe as well. I'll check it out first day.

[ShadowBoxer]

I thought MI 3 was the best in the series and I am definitely looking forward to Ghost Protocol. Also Paula Patton is on point in those pictures Whoo.

Mission Impossible vs Alvina and the Chipmunks.

VIDEO-CLick to Watch!:

I'm also curious about Brad Bird doing a live-action film.

[Liam_H]

Early reviews seem to indicate its a great action flick. Brad Birds looks to have made a successful transition.

Edit: Good movie with great action, not just mindless action.

Kind of like the very first Mission Impossible? Because those had some really good action scenes.

The bullet train sequence still looks amazing and gets my blood pumping.

[Octoberist]

I think the first is the bear, part 3 being very entertaining and more in time with the first with the second mindless fun but tedious.

[BizarroAids]

I think the second one is pretty great, considering John Woo was behind the helm and had to tame the violence a bit. But it's simple plot was even mentioned in the movie,

Luther: " That simple huh?
Ethan: "Why not?"

It still had it's espinoge feel, along with great action. Although I think de Palmas movie was much more centered on the espionage, the second showed how well Ethan was trained in guns, combat, etc, and the third shows the other tricks, like the lip reading and other gadgets.

I like that, because it does feel like a "new episode" each time, which is what Tom wanted from the beginning.

But, back to Ghost Protocol, I'm pumped for this one, and I hope Simon Peggs character will appear in a few more M:I movies. I don't mind seeing Luther move on.

I also forget how Emilio Estevez had a random uncredited cameo in the first film.

I still kind of like MI2, because it's the only one without the usual plot device of "Ethan goes rogue against the IMF to take down a greater foe." I mean like all these movies, and GP looks cool too, but c'mon.

By now, if I was a terrorist and Ethan shows up at my front door, I'd be like, "Wow, Ethan. You're here. Disavowed again? Great, come in. First I'll tell you my plan in detail, and then I have some henchmen you can kill."

[DyeLorean]

I like M:I 2, maybe it gets a little bit over the top on certain scenes. Woo has a particular way of filming, and specially on repeated viewings you start to notice all the little things that keep the movie apart from 1 and 3.

[scatterax]

It's completely different from 1 & 3. Noticeable immediately.

[jacobed]

Thats one thing I really love about the MI series. Each movie feels very different from the last one.

I really don't like that outfit...but she makes it look good anyways.

[DyeLorean]

The outfit looks like the Catwoman from the Adam West show.
