Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol is a 2011 spy film, and the fourth installment in the Mission: Impossible series. It stars Tom Cruise, who reprises his role of IMF Agent Ethan Hunt, and is director Brad Bird's first live-action film.[1] Ghost Protocol was written by André Nemec and Josh Appelbaum, and produced by Cruise, J. J. Abrams (director of the third film) and Bryan Burk. Following the world premiere in Dubai on December 7,[3] the film will have preview runs in IMAX theaters in the U.S. and Canada from December 16, 2011, with general release on December 21, 2011.[4] It is the first Mission: Impossible film not produced by Paula Wagner, and the first of the series to be partially filmed using IMAX cameras.

Plot

A terrorist bombing destroys the Kremlin while IMF agent Ethan Hunt is carrying out an undercover operation in Moscow. The Russian government categorizes the attack as "an undeclared act of war," prompting United States government to initiate a black operation known as "ghost protocol", disavowing the entire Impossible Mission Force. Hunt and his four-person team are allowed to escape from the government's custody as part of a plan to enable them to operate outside of their agency's command structure. However, when the IMF is ambushed, they are forced to operate without any kind of official support in an attempt to locate an intelligence source connected to the Moscow bombing and the attack on the IMF.

Cast

Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, the team's leader and the protagonist of the film series.
Jeremy Renner as William Brandt[5], an IMF desk analyst who hides numerous secrets and is forced to work with Hunt's team.
Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn[6], an IMF technical field agent and part of Hunt's team. Pegg is the second supporting cast member of the film series to appear in more than one Mission: Impossible film.
Paula Patton as Jane Carter[7], a member of Hunt's team.
Michael Nyqvist as Kurt Hendricks[8], the film's primary antagonist.
Anil Kapoor as Brij Nath[9]
Vladimir Mashkov as Anatoly Sidirov[10], a Russian intelligence operative.
Josh Holloway[2] as Trevor Hanaway, a member of Hunt's team during the mission at Moscow.
Léa Seydoux as Sabine Moreau[11], a Russian assassin.
Tom Wilkinson as the IMF Secretary[citation needed]

Ving Rhames initially confirmed that he will reprise his role as Ethan's longtime partner Luther Stickell,[12] however a reduced budget might prevent him from returning. Rhames stated that it is up to the filmmakers to decide if he would return in a shortened role or not.[13]

Production

"When we were first looking at the image of Tom climbing the Burj, in the long shots we could not only see the traffic in the reflections when he presses down on the glass... But you actually saw the glass warp slightly because of the pressure of his hand. You would never see that in 35mm. The fact that the screen fills your vision and is super sharp seems more life-like."
— Brad Bird describing the advantages of filming in the IMAX format.[14]

The film was originally announced with a working name of Mission: Impossible 4, and codenamed "Aries" during early production.[15] By August 2010, title considerations did not include Mission: Impossible IV name, thought was given to not including the specific term "Mission: Impossible" in this entry of the franchise, which Variety compared to the Christopher Nolan's Batman film titled simply The Dark Knight.[16]

The film was partially shot with IMAX cameras, which made up approximately 30 minutes of the film's runtime.[17][18] Brad Bird insisted that the film was to be shot in IMAX, as opposed to 3D, as he felt that the IMAX format offered the viewer more immersion due its brighter, higher quality image, which is projected on a larger screen, without the need for specialised glasses.[19] Bird also believed that that IMAX format would bring back "a level of showmanship" to the presentation of Hollywood films, which he believes the industry has lost due to its emphasis on screening films in multiplexes as opposed to grand theatres, and vetoing "first runs" in favor of wider initial releases.[19]

Principal photography began by September 30, 2010.[citation needed] Filming took place in Dubai, Prague, Moscow, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Vancouver.[2][20][21] Tom Cruise performed a sequence where Ethan Hunt scales the outside of the Burj Khalifa tower, which is the tallest building in the world, without the use of a stunt double.[22]

Sequel

In a recent interview it was revealed that Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg and Brad Bird are all interested in returning for a fifth Mission: Impossible film. [23]
