  • ‘Mission Impossible 8’ Delayed by a Year, New Name Potentially

    ‘Mission Impossible 8’ Delayed by a Year, New Name Potentially

    The strikes are turning 2024 into a wasteland at this rate. While some projects were pushed back, the hope that perhaps everything gets cleared in time to promote major releases is becoming a major issue. Marvel Studios is still sticking to its The Marvels release but it’s not been rosy for theaters looking towards the next year, or even 2025.

    Still, it seems Tom Cruise’s next major entry in the Mission: Impossible franchise has been delayed by an entire year as Paramount has also pushed A Quiet Place: Day One back around two months. Seems they are being quite cautious going into next year. The other bizarre decision is that Dead Reckoning Part Two is going to get its own title. That is kind of a weird way to react after already naming the previous one Dead Reckoning Part 1.

    It seems production wasn’t finalized on the film, which has now been bumped back to May 23rd, 2025 from its initial June 28th, 2024 release. There’s also a high expectation of other major releases getting pushed back even further. Even Spongebob Squarepants’ new film has been pushed back to December 19th, 2025, as it gave its release date to Mission Impossible. We’ll have to see what remains of next year’s slate.

  • Holt McCallany Accepts ‘Mission: Impossible’ Role

    Holt McCallany Accepts ‘Mission: Impossible’ Role

    Mindhunter actor Holt McCallany has signed on for a role in Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning – Part Two. The actor will play Secretary of Defense Bernstein. He joins Hayley Atwell, Shea Whigham and Pom Klementieff, who all star alongside leading man Tom Cruise.

    Part Two will serve as the eighth title in the hit franchise. Cruise returns as agent Ethan Hunt who leads his team on globe-trotting missions as a means to avert global disaster. Details regarding the film’s plot are sparse, but the film could potentially serve as the end of the franchise, although no decision looks to have been made as of yet. Christopher McQuarrie returns to direct the film from his own script after wrapping on Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning – Part One.

    McCallany starred as FBI Special Agent Bill Tench on Netflix’s critically acclaimed series Mindhunter. He currently stars in the AMC drama 61st Street alongside Courtney B. Vance, which has been renewed for a second season. Other credits on his resume include Lights Out, Guillermo del Toro’s Nightmare Alley and Blue Bloods. 

    The last Mission: Impossible film, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, earned $791 million at the worldwide box office back in 2018. Cruise can currently be seen on the big screen in Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick, which continues to fly high at the box office after two months in release.

    Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning – Part Two will hit theaters on June 28th, 2024.

  • ‘Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’ Trailer Seemingly Leaks Online

    ‘Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’ Trailer Seemingly Leaks Online

    Here’s a rather surprising leak, as it seems that the trailer for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1 has seemingly found its way online. Even as the film is eyeing a 2023 release, it seems that a two-minute trailer was found online and shared by Twitter user @AceyMainman. It’s quite curious that a high-quality version of this trailer found its way online, as it almost looks like a version that possibly was showcased during CinemaCon.

    The trailer is definitely showcasing the exciting action that we’ve come accustomed to with a Tom Cruise-led film, especially in the Mission: Impossible franchise. Christopher McQuarrie once again is taking the lead on the project. He has been directing the franchise since Rogue Nation back in 2015 and has a long history of working with Tom Cruise on various projects, including writing Edge of Tomorrow, Valkyrie, Jack Reacher, and even The Mummy.

    The film is now the seventh entry and will act as the first of two parts. Its leak would hint that they may be potentially releasing it at some point given the high quality, but it’s strange considering the film won’t release until July 2023. Its sequel won’t even hit theaters until June 2024, as there’s been a bit of an internal conflict between Cruise and Paramount. So, we’ll see what the future has in store but it does seem like they may want to bank on Tom Cruise‘s star power with the release of Top Gun: Maverick.

  • ‘Mission: Impossible 7’ and ‘A Quiet Place’ Spinoff Official Titles Revealed

    ‘Mission: Impossible 7’ and ‘A Quiet Place’ Spinoff Official Titles Revealed

    It’s Paramount’s turn at CinemaCon to announce a few projects. While they already had their own event that was chock-full of announcements, they used the opportunity to announce the official titles for two of their upcoming flagship franchises, Mission: Impossible and A Quiet Place. Not only did we get the title for the seventh entry in the franchise but also a good hint of what the spinoff is all about.

    Let’s start with the big announcement and that is that Tom Cruise appeared on screen to announce that his upcoming film is titled Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. Now, the name may have some major implications, as there have been some behind-the-scenes statements that hinted that the first film’s production isn’t officially ended as they push back the release dates and try to keep investments open for both parts. So, the title “Part One” may add that additional pressure on the executives.

    That’s not all, as the upcoming A Quiet Place spinoff also finally gets a name, which is simply A Quiet Place: Day One. As many suspected, the project will explore the early days of the invasion that would change the lives of many. Keep in mind, that this isn’t the actual third entry, which isn’t set to release until 2025. Day One will be directed by Pig‘s Michael Sarnoski, who took over from Jeff Nichols. So, it’s great to finally get the confirmation on what the film will focus on.
