"Just another day at work on Mission Impossible." Paramount has released a high def featurette for Brad Bird's Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol giving us a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the incredible Burj Khalifa scene. As we've all heard, Tom Cruise does his own stunts, and this time we actually get to see that as he gets rigged up and flies across/up/down/all over the sides of the world's tallest building. I'm getting nervous just watching this. Crazy! You can also see all the big IMAX cameras they shot this scene with. This is an awesome behind-the-scenes featurette and great way to build even more excitement. Enjoy!
Watch the new featurette for Brad Bird's Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol featuring Tom Cruise:
You can download this video in high def on Yahoo. Stay tuned for more updates and the trailer tomorrow!
Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol is directed by Oscar winning filmmaker Brad Bird, of animated films The Iron Giant, The Incredibles and Ratatouille previously. This stars Tom Cruise as Agent Ethan Hunt along with a supporting cast including Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Josh Holloway, Tom Wilkinson, Paula Patton, Léa Seydoux and Michael Nyqvist. Producer J.J. Abrams crafted the story with Cruise, and writers André Nemec and Josh Applebaum (both of "Alias", "Life on Mars") penned the screenplay. Paramount is bringing Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol to theaters and in IMAX starting December 16th this winter.

Exactly, but i agree gotta have respect for the seriousness he takes with his career. Not many actors would be up for this.

Tom Cruise has to look damn cool in every movie he is in. It's a requirement. Can't wait for this one. Love the Mission Impossible movies. Well the first and the third.

You didn't see Broken Arrow? MI2 had some good spots.. the bike chase at the end was pretty well done.

Gawd I just hope none of the piss-viz companies worked on this film.

Tom Cruise's insurance broker must either be seriously paid, or just a nervous wreck. Probably both.

I hope the new trailer is a lot better then the first one. They just can't seem to nail MI movies to be the best that they can be. MI B+ MI2 C- MI3 C+

I´s a pity that he is probably much better as stuntman than as actor

He is a very good actor.

I heard that all the MI films take place in alternate realities so is it true that in this one Ethan never got married?

I refuse to give away the plot. You will have to watch the movie. But I LOVED IT.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Tom Cruise is the quintessential movie star. Period. Even if he's a bit nutty the guy is a showman.

Brad Bird Lies! "A Mile and a half above the earth"? My arse you are. The Burj Kalifa, impressive as it is, is only half a mile high. Details, my friends, details.

Well looking down from where Tom is, 2,717 feet feels and looks like a mile and a half. I'm sure they didn't mean literally.
