First look–Paramount releases new trailer for Mission: Impossible–Fallout

May 16, 2018

In February’s Super Bowl barrage of commercials viewers saw their first look at Tom Cruise’s next outing in the American version of the James Bond movies. The sixth Mission: Impossible film, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, showed Cruise returning as Ethan Hunt, along with returning cast Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Michelle Monaghan, Sean Harris, and Alec Baldwin, plus some surprises.

Three months later Paramount released the next trailer for the film early this morning, showing more action and more disasters for Ethan Hunt. And that includes more Cruise doing many of his own stunts.

Superman Henry Cavill is the latest leading man to share significant screen-time in an M:I mission with Cruise. Plus Black Panther’s Angela Bassett looks to be a key force in the film. Vanessa Kirby and Rebecca Ferguson also co-star. In advance of the new trailer, Cavill announced a new poster for the movie (above).

Here is the new trailer for Mission: Impossible – Fallout:

Last night Production Weekly announced the new title for the third Tron movie has been chosen: Tron: Ascension. Tron: Ascension will begin filming in Vancouver this October. Oh, yeah!

Video game movies are back. What conjures up more retro fun than 1980s arcade games? Who didn’t have at least a few of these on their Atari 2600? Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Galaga, Centipede… This summer aliens have sent these animated pixilated weapons to cause Earth’s destruction in Pixels, a new 3D movie from Sony Pictures and Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions. Think of the comedy and fantasy elements of Ghostbusters mashed up with the annihilation of the world’s landmarks, Independence Day style. All the makings of a summer comedy blockbuster.

It’s like the reverse of Tron–instead of shrinking down to the pixel size of arcade game character Tron and playing in the Grid, the arcade video game stars are now becoming larger than life, entering our world.

It stars Adam Sandler (when was the last time Adam Sandler had a hit anyway? 50 First Dates?). He joins Kevin James (King of Queens), Michelle Monaghan (Source Code, The Bourne Supremacy), and Peter Dinklage (Elf, The Station Agent, Game of Thrones) as they defend the world against… video games from space.

It’ll all make sense when you watch the first trailer for Pixels, after the break:
