Tom Cruise Stunt Video from Mission Impossible 4

Apparently there are a lot of stunts on “Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol”, if all the set pictures and videos that have been coming out of the movie are any indication. Here’s Tom Cruise in one such video performing a stunt that involves him climbing down the side of a building. I know it’s all stuntwork and they’ve got him harnessed in and there is probably zero danger of him actually falling, but still, sheesh, you couldn’t pay me enough to hang outside a skyscraper in the middle of downtown. Then again, I am a wuss, so there’s that.

“Ghost Protocol”, starring Cruise, Jeremy Renner, and Paula Patton, arrives in 2011. Brad Bird (“The Incredibles”) is directing.

Ving Rhames Not in Ghost Protocol? That’s (Mission:) Impossible



Tom Cruise isn’t the only man who has been in all “Mission: Impossible” movies. Ving Rhames, as computer hacker Luther Stickell, has been right there alongside him in all three films. Now with the fourth one currently in production, it was expected that Rhames would be reprising his hacker role along with Simon Pegg from part three, joining newcomers Jeremy Renner, Josh Holloway, Michael Nyqvist, and Paula Patton for director Brad Bird. Not so fast, kiddies.

Rhames, while out promoting his upcoming “Death Race 2″, tells Movieweb in regards to “Ghost Protocol”:

   

When asked if this means he won’t be appearing in the sequel, he added:



This is certainly news, but probably not as big a news as Rhames would like to think. I’m sorry, but Luther Stickell may have been in all previous “Mission: Impossible” movies, but let’s face it, most people don’t know that, not with the amount of supporting cast that’s come and gone over the years.

Right now, the studio’s focus seems to be passing the torch from Cruise to Renner, and I’m sure Rhames really doesn’t figure too much into those plans. Of course, I could be wrong.

...why nowadays they keep slapping in a tune/soundtrack for trailers, be it game trailers or movie trailers. 

how come Tom Cruise again? can they try other ppl instead of him?

although Tom Cruise is a stupid arse with his stupid Scientology religion thingy, his acting is OK

That's the thing. I think his acting is fine, and I would like to see MI4 even if it was just so-so. But seeing Tom Cruise just keeps reminding me of Scientology. When you research that cult, it's some serious off-the-wall stuff that doesn't even make sense from a sci-fi perspective. Raelians even sound more logical (rael.org).
