Alec Baldwin has been going through the worst phase of his life as he has been entangled in the case against him in the accidental shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The tragic incident occurred during the shoot of Baldwin’s film Rust in 2021. The actor was recently indicted on the charge of involuntary manslaughter in January for the shooting.

Baldwin is set to stand trial in July this year, and if convicted, faces a possible prison time of 18 months. While his lawyers are trying to dismiss the charge against him, a new report claims that Baldwin was offered a unique deal last October that would not have ended his troubled time with the case. However, the deal was dismissed abruptly by prosecutors days later.

With or without a mustache, it’s for certain that no one can beat Henry Cavill’s good looks. But while fans drooled over the actor with his whiskers on, in Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Cavill surprisingly faced some issues because of it. Nobody could have predicted that the actor’s mustache would cause so much drama.
Henry Cavill as August Walker in Mission: Impossible – Fallout
According to Mission: Impossible – Fallout director Christopher McQuarrie, while shooting Tom Cruise’s movie, Henry Cavill was simultaneously going through Justice League reshoots. This apparently caused some issues surrounding Cavill’s whiskers since the actor was supposed to be clean-shaven for his role as Superman. Hang on to learn about the drama that caused McQuarrie to ask $3M from the DC film’s producer.

1994’s Interview with the Vampire is remembered for kickstarting an alleged rift between Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, even though in recent years, it seems the speculated feud no longer exists. But apart from the drama surrounding it, the movie itself was a box-office success, and Rebecca Ferguson developed a crush on Cruise after watching it.
Even though the movie wasn’t her cup of tea, Ferguson, who first joined forces with Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie in Rogue Nation, certainly found Cruise the best part of the horror fantasy.

“Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” is not short on showstopping spectacles and action scenes. But when it came time for supervising sound editor James Mather to work on what is arguably the film’s biggest moment – a death-defying motorcycle jump off a cliff that became the centerpiece of the marketing campaign – he had a great resource on which to lean: star and producer Tom Cruise.
“What’s really interesting is you’re working with the man who’s in the shot, who knows what it sounded and felt like when he did that stunt. And he wants the audience to dial into that emotion,” Mather tells Gold Derby in an exclusive video interview. “Tom’s take on [scene] was that the cut to him after we’ve gone to silence as the bike is falling away was to cut to him when he’s gliding through the air and the sound is massive.

If you had a gun to your head and had to answer candidly, what would you say is the best action movie franchise of the 21st century? While John Wick is quickly climbing the ranks and a real argument for the Fast and Furious can be made, when it comes to jaw-dropping stunts and eye-popping setpieces that continue to get better each time out, it’s hard to top what Tom Cruise has been able to achieve with the Mission: Impossible franchise. Indeed, while early results from directors like Brian De Palma and John Woo might be varied, Tom Cruise has remained the one constant and used his superstar wattage to help everyone from JJ Abrams to Brad Bird retain his own stamp while improving the overall quality of the franchise. With that in mind, the collaboration between Cruise and writer/director Christopher McQuarrie has catapulted the Mission Impossible Franchise...

Tom Cruise has become renowned for his death-defying stunts in the "Mission: Impossible" movies. In the recent film, "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One," Cruise rode a motorcycle off a cliff. In "Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol," he scaled the side of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. And in "Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation," he clung to the side of a plane as it took off and flew 5,000 feet into the air. It's jaw-dropping stuff, and it remains a bit bonkers that Cruise keeps doing things like this for our entertainment. What drives him? What gives him the confidence to do all of these dangerous things? And what's he going to do next?
Of course, it's worth noting that Cruise isn't doing all of these things willy-nilly. They're planned out, and safety precautions are taken to help ensure the megastar doesn't end up dying during filming.

We love the "Mission: Impossible" movies, don't we folks? These globe-trotting, death-defying adventures get bigger and better with each installment. At the center of each entry is Ethan Hunt, played by stuntman/actor Tom Cruise. Ethan is our guide into the world of the Imf and their various missions, but he can't do it all by himself. He has a team to back him up, and while the team has changed over the years, there's a core group that stays the same.
There's Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, a hacker turned Imf agent. There's Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, who started off working in a lab and eventually became a field agent. Then there's Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), a former MI6 agent who has more or less joined the Imf due to her friendship with Ethan. There are more team members scattered over the various films, but this is the core group,...

Christopher McQuarrie, the director of the recently released Tom Cruise-starrer actioner ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’, has promised epic underwater scenes in the next edition of the film.
The 54-year-old director and action hero Tom Cruise have spent time working out how to perfect underwater sequences after using them in previous movies ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ and ‘Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation’ and says they will be taken to the next level when the next film in the long-running franchise is released next year, reports Female First UK.
Christopher told Collider, “Tom and I are constantly re-evaluating our own work and asking ourselves how we could have done it better. We’ve done underwater in ‘Edge of Tomorrow’, and we worked underwater in ‘Rogue Nation’, and we left very dissatisfied with those sequences.”
The filmmaker continued: “And we analyse why we were dissatisfied. What were all the factors working against us?...

Brian De Palma's original "Mission: Impossible" subverted just about everything about the TV series it was based on. Ordinarily, the show would follow a skilled team of spies who use gadgets, wit, and impressive espionage skills to track down enemy spies and ultra-powerful criminals. In the movie, the team was assembled and the objectives were clear when De Palma elected to murder the entire team. The only survivor was a new character, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) whom the audience hadn't previously known. It was later revealed that the man behind the slaying of Ethan's team was none other than Jim Phelps (Jon Voight), the hero of the original TV series. This would be like if a "Star Trek" movie killed the main cast, leaving Ensign Jones as the main character. And then it was revealed that Captain Kirk was the one who betrayed everyone.

For all the remarkable feats accomplished by the Mission Impossible franchise when it comes to reinventing modern action movies, one key aspect was notably absent from the series: the presence of a strong female character in a prominent role. Don’t get us wrong; characters like Jane Carter, Nyah Hall, Julia Meade, and Sabine Moreau were exceptional in their respective roles, but their characters didn’t have more individuality than the story required of them during their brief appearances. With the appearance of the mysterious triple agent Ilsa Faust, played by Rebecca Ferguson, the franchise got a truly great addition to its gallery of female lead it can boast of, who seemed competent enough to take on the franchise lead mantle on her own. Introduced in Rogue Nation, the character has left a prominent impact on Ethan’s life and career, the Imf’s position as a global espionage agency,...

With a career decorated with outstanding action flicks, the last superstar of our generation, Tom Cruise, got his iconic action movie hero status primarily after taking on the role of Ethan Hunt in the Mission Impossible series. Even after two and a half decades of portraying the character of the efficient secret agent, Cruise has managed to hold on to that status by pushing the limits of his own physicality through dangerous action sequences and aspiring for a pioneering, practical, hands-on approach to filmmaking. As one of the few remaining actors who prefer to put their necks on the line while doing death-defying stunts on their own, an over-sixties Cruise is surely carrying the legacy of the daredevils of Hollywood’s golden era. With the latest entry in the Mi franchise creating a buzz across the movie business, let’s take a look at some of the unforgettable action sequences...

Sunday Am Writethru — after Saturday Pm update…Facts are facts, and Paramount/Skydance’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One set a 5-day opening domestic record for the franchise with $80M. Paramount is calling the global opening here at $235M, read Nancy’s report here. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny only opened to $130M.
Asserted Paramount Domestic Distribution President Chris Aronson this morning, “Mission is a global story, has always been a global story, and will continue to be a global story.”
Previous best 5-day opening belonged to 2000’s Mission: Impossible II, which cleared a Wednesday-Sunday take over Memorial Day weekend of $78.8M. The 3-day record still belongs to 2018’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout which posted $61.2M. Dead Reckoning is seeing a 3-day of $56.2M at 4,327 theaters, including Imax and Plf auditoriums.

Paramount’s “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One” is defusing a bit at the domestic box office, readjusting for an estimated $78 million gross over its five-day opening. That’d be a substantial chunk behind projections headed into the weekend, which had the Tom Cruise action sequel hoping for a $90 million.
Some in the industry were expecting a “Top Gun: Maverick” halo effect for “Dead Reckoning” after last year’s legacy sequel positively ignited movie theaters, rocketing through the summer to become the fifth-highest grossing domestic release of all-time. That doesn’t seem to be the case though, as “Mission” seems to be landing around the solid numbers typical for its franchise.
The last entry, 2018’s “Fallout,” launched with a then-franchise record $61 million over three days. “Dead Reckoning” opened on Wednesday, plus previews on Tuesday evening — a bump-up in release that industry watchers suspect was implemented to take advantage of premium ticket prices for Imax,...

Well… I may have gotten a little over-zealous with my predictions! I had just seen Mission: Impossible- Dead Reckoning Part One and thought it was absolutely fantastic, couple that with the fact that it has been getting great reviews (including the 9/10 from our own Chris Bumbray), nearly completely sold out showings at my local theater and a solid A cinemascore from audiences, and I thought this one was going to hit higher in its opening weekend. Right now the 3-day for Dead Reckoning Part One is coming in around $53 million, making it the fourth highest 3-day in franchise history after Fallout (61.2 million), Rogue Nation ($55.5) and M:i-2 (57.8). It still has a chance to take down the 5-day record which currently sits with M:i-2 at $78.8 million, but Saturday numbers will have to hit harder for it to achieve that.

Update Saturday Am: In the wake of the older-skewing, very expensive Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny stumbling at the box office with an $83.8M Friday-Tuesday domestic start, sources have called upon me to evaluate a similarly priced, older dude franchise sequel at around $300M. That’s this weekend’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which, analyzed by the same measuring stick — particularly given the pic’s U.S./Canada 5-day of $78M — is well-below the $90M tracking Paramount was hoping for. Three-day here is $54.2M.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Harrison Ford in ‘Indiana Jones and The Dial Of Destiny’
But here is the root of the root, and the bud of the bud, and that is Dead Reckoning and Dial of Destiny are not the same. Already, in its running global take of $122.2M through yesterday, Dead Reckoning is on the verge of overtaking the $130M global start of Indy.

When Tom Cruise accepted his first mission as Ethan Hunt, I bet the star never thought that he’d still be playing the character nearly thirty years later, with no plans to stop anytime soon.

Los Angeles, July 15 (Ians) Since ‘Mission: Impossible III’ in 2006, Simon Pegg has been part of the core ensemble of the ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise, playing hacker and sometime field agent Benji Dunn opposite its stalwart star Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt.
Recently, Pegg discussed what makes director Christopher McQuarrie’s creativity so special, and his collaboration with Cruise et al so unique, reports Variety.
He also spoke about new details he discovered about Benji, explored the challenges of being self-referential in a franchise like this without undermining emotional stakes, and hinted at what is yet to come as he and the rest of the filmmaking team move on to ‘Dead Reckoning – Part Two’.
The actor said that “in Tom Cruise, director Christopher McQuarrie just found such a perfect creative partner”.
He said that Tom can facilitate McQuarrie’s way of working, and can allow him to practise this extreme method of filmmaking.

Since “Mission: Impossible III” in 2006, Simon Pegg has been part of the core ensemble of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise, playing hacker and sometime field agent Benji Dunn opposite its stalwart star Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt. Pegg was never going to be the actor risking life and limb on screen — “it’s Benji’s job to be the one that actually says, ‘what the fuck are we doing here?’,” he observes. But over five installments of the indefatigable series, his character has shifted from questioning what Ethan is doing in the moment to believing absolutely in why he’s doing it, thanks in no small part to the writing and directing of Christopher McQuarrie.
McQuarrie came onto “Ghost Protocol” as “a sort of master plumber to re-wriggle the pipes,” as Pegg characterizes it, and since became the series’ ongoing co-architect with Cruise. Their partnership reaches its peak, even if by...

As a spy-action franchise, each installment of the Mission Impossible series acted as a stand-alone movie, and the interconnectivity was displayed through character arcs and some of the recurring side characters, much like the earlier James Bond flicks. After director Christopher McQuarrie reinvented the franchise towards a more action-heavy spectacle, a more linear overarching narrative was added in the form of the villainous Solomon Lane and his terror-for-hire organization, the Apostles, which played a major part in the previous two entries of the movie, Rogue Nation and Fallout.
As the natural progression of the established narrative structure so far, it would have made sense if Solomon Lane returned as an antagonist in the latest release, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, as he survived at the end of the last venture. Instead, the seventh movie in the franchise introduces a new villain in the form of a sentient AI named Entity. Keeping...

Henry Czerny received a mission from filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie and chose to accept it.
That mission? Return as former Imf chief Eugene Kittridge in “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” 27 years after he first appeared in the original “Mission: Impossible” in 1996.
At the “Dead Reckoning” premiere in New York, Czerny said when he first got the call about returning to the “Mission: Impossible” world, he didn’t believe it.
“I think it’s a joke at first because my reps called me and said they want to bring Kittridge back and I’m in the middle of doing my errands in Los Angeles and fighting traffic or shredding old tax documents,” he told Variety. “I think, ‘Okay, what’s going on really?’ They say, ‘Chris McQuarrie wants to talk to you about bringing Kittridge back,’ and I take it seriously. Two days later, I’m on a call with Chris McQuarrie.

At the “Dead Reckoning” premiere in New York, Czerny said when he first got the call about returning to the “Mission: Impossible” world, he didn’t believe it.
“I think it’s a joke at first because my reps called me and said they want to bring Kittridge back and I’m in the middle of doing my errands in Los Angeles and fighting traffic or shredding old tax documents,” he told Variety. “I think, ‘Okay, what’s going on really?’ They say, ‘Chris McQuarrie wants to talk to you about bringing Kittridge back,’ and I take it seriously. Two days later, I’m on a call with Chris McQuarrie.

This article contains a whole lot of Mission: Impossible 7 spoilers.
Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise’s third Mission: Impossible collaboration might just be the breeziest three hours you’ll ever spend in a cinema. It’s certainly the most exhilarating of this summer’s action spectacles, which are almost uniformly longer than 150 minutes, and nearly every one of them feels it. But Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is the exception, a film as nimble and lithe as its title is long and unwieldy. It gallops through giddy set pieces like Cruise sprinting across the rooftop of the Dubai airport; and when Pom Klementieff laughs as she drives an SUV down the actual Spanish Steps of Rome, you’ll be cackling too.

A number of yesteryear’s beloved movie franchises have tried to make a comeback in the pop culture scene, making an effort to become relevant among the new generation by becoming topical, and most of them, like Indiana Jones and Ghostbusters, have failed miserably due to a lack of connection with the contemporary audience. Among the exceptional ones, the Mission Impossible series has survived the brunt of time by being able to reinvent itself, a strategy most perceivable since Christopher McQuarrie took up the directorial role of the franchise since Rogue Nation.
Aside from that, a major reason for the steady success of the franchise is the zeal for constantly pushing the limits of practical filmmaking, a trait that is spearheaded by none other than the lead actor, Tom Cruise himself. Cruise has continued to amaze viewers by shouldering the demanding physical hurdles necessary for the franchise’s lead, Ethan Hunt,...

Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie on the set of Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning – Part One from Paramount Pictures and Skydance.
On September 6, 2020, the first day of principal photography on Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Tom Cruise drove a motorbike off a mountain. Specifically, he drove a custom-made Honda Crf 250 off a purpose-built ramp on the side of Norway’s Helsetkopen mountain, a vertiginous rock face sat some 1,200 meters above sea level. Then he plunged 4,000 feet into the ravine below before opening his parachute barely 500 feet from the ground.
When he landed, director, Christopher Mc Quarrie, and the small crew of his Mission co-stars who had assembled to watch the seminal cinematic sequence from the safety of video village, breathed a collective sigh of relief. Then Cruise picked himself up and did it all again another seven times, just to make sure the footage was perfect.

With the seventh “Mission: Impossible” blasting into theaters July 12 with “Mission Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One,” there’s no better time to catch up on the previous entries in the adrenaline-pumping franchise. Based on the 1966 television series of the same name, the films star Tom Cruise as Impossible Missions Force agent Ethan Hunt. Since investigating the mysterious murders of (almost) his entire team back in 1996, Hunt (and Cruise) has certainly been through the wringer ever since, climbing skyscrapers, clinging to the outside of planes, and flying helicopters all in the name of completing his missions and thrilling the audience.
As we eagerly anticipate the impossible missions and death-defying stunts that await Cruise in “Dead Reckoning,” we’ve pulled together a list of streamers where you can find all six of the existing “Mission: Impossible” installments. Or, if you aren’t keen on purchasing another streaming subscription or watching ads, they...

If there’s one mission that Tom Cruise continually accepts, it’s the impossible mission of topping his extravagantly entertaining films with each new entry. Add to that mission that he must do so in an age where the aftermath of a pandemic and rising theater prices has left audiences with uncertain feelings about going to the cinema to watch a 2-hour-plus movie with a multitude of entertainment options in competition. Now, add the newest factor of the year producing an unprecedented amount of underperforming tentpole blockbusters, as well as the moviemaking business itself having difficulties with a writers’ strike and the threat of an actors’ strike.
After being credited with saving the movies with his juggernaut of a throwback hit, Top Gun: Maverick, the buzz for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is off the charts, with Cruise continuing to push his bodily limits for the sake of entertainment.

Is Tom Cruise the last movie star? That’s a topic that’s been debated over the last few years, but if the definition of a movie star includes delivering for audiences exactly what they want and need, then Cruise can arguably make the strongest case out of any filmmaker working today. And all the while, through his many cinematic triumphs (and a fair number of misfires) he’s been painting his masterpiece. The Mission: Impossible series is that great labor. The franchise may have started out as a relatively unassuming action/spy thriller based on a creaky 1960s TV show, but it has become one of the few movie franchises that’s actually gotten better and better over the course of its 27-year existence.
To be sure, the series took a while—arguably four movies—to truly find its footing, but starting with the fourth entry, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol...

Can Tom Cruise save summer?
Despite the onslaught of shiny product that hasn’t delivered, i.e. Flash and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the summer domestic box office at $2.1 billion per Comscore is pacing 6% behind last year’s for the period of May 1 to July 9.
All eyes are on the best reviewed Mission: Impossible of all-time, Paramount/Skydance’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One to hopefully get us on a July roll starting Wednesday with an expected franchise global 5-day record of $250M; made up of $90M domestic, and $160M abroad in 70 markets including Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, Mexico Spain, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.
There is a great potential for upside here, not just because of the Rotten Tomatoes score of 98% certified fresh, but also because a Top Gun: Maverick halo effect is expected to work in the favor of the seventh Mission: Impossible.

For a film series that has included seven entries (to date) and spanned nearly three decades, the “Mission: Impossible” films starring Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt have proven themselves to be one of the more enduring and popular franchises of all time. The latest in the series, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, succeeds in spades, giving the property not only fresh and vibrant feel, but perhaps the best offering since the impossible missions first began.
Once again, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his team find themselves on a harrowing mission with the safety of the entire world in the balance. This time out, the threat comes from an advanced artificial intelligence that has determined that the best course of action to save humanity is to assume control of it. Now, with only his team to count on, Hunt must keep control of the AI out of the hands...

The latest action-heavy trailer for “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One” has arrived ahead of its Wednesday premiere.
Unlike the official trailer for the action flick, this latest promotional trailer solely highlights the movie’s action. As the video cuts between Tom Cruise performing seemingly impossible stunts like running on an exploding train and motorcycling off the edge of a cliff, snippets of reviews play appear onscreen. The new teaser doesn’t appear to offer any new footage that hasn’t appeared in the first trailer, but it does emphasize Cruise’s stunts.
Set to debut later this week, the movie is averaging a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. This latest installment in the spy action franchise was directed by Christopher McQuarrie and co-written by McQuarrie and Erik Jendresen. It serves as a direct sequel to 2018’s “Mission: Impossible: Fallout” and follows Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his Imf team as their...

They should call it Mission: Exceptional. Given that this is a series that began on television 57 years ago and over the past 27 years has delivered seven big feature films, no one would be terribly surprised if it were to begin flagging a bit. But Tom Cruise & Co. will have none of that; to the contrary, this new entry, officially called Dead Reckoning Part One, ramps up the excitement and sheer flat-out impressiveness to a new level, with the absolute final piece of the puzzle already shot and due to open in a year’s time.

Since 1996, Tom Cruise has been the heart of the “Mission: Impossible” film series, thrilling audiences as Ethan Hunt, the Imf agent constantly plunged into increasingly dangerous scenarios. And he’s not about to stop anytime soon – “Mission: Impossible, Dead Reckoning, Part One,” the seventh film in the franchise, is due out this July, while “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Part Two” will be unleashed next June.
If, somehow, you’ve never seen any of the “Mission: Impossible” movies, they began in 1996 with the Brian De Palma-directed original, an adaptation of the popular, Bruce Geller-created spy series that ran from 1966 to 1973 for 172 episodes and was revived briefly in the late 1980s (that version only ran for two seasons and 35 episodes). Many of the hallmarks of the television series made it into the movie – the mission briefing that would “self-destruct” at the end of the message, the idea of a team of highly trained specialists,...

In A Little Love Package, Vienna’s institutions, people, buildings, and overlapping epochs make for a stiff drink: a bright, effervescent, lightly intoxicating film easily downed in one. The director is Gastón Solnicki, a nicely ruminative Buenos Aires filmmaker whose make-it-up-as-you-go approach allows his films to meander. Solnicki’s work has a playful spirit: it’s episodic both in form and content, though never amorphous; and he moves between narrative, documentary, still imagery, and immersive sound with seamless élan. Forged in lockdown, Love Package is a breezy collage of meteorites and cigarettes; cheese and boiled eggs, and how best to make them. But at heart it’s about how eras end, what they leave behind, and how new ones begin.
Solnicki’s previous film, Introduction to the Dark, was his first based in Vienna; it opened with images of the Prater amusement park, where Harry Lime once tallied the merits of Switzerland.

“Mission: Impossible – Fallout” writer/director Christopher McQuarrie teased a future project with Tom Cruise that sounds utterly tantalizing on the 200th episode of “Mission: Impossible”-centered podcast Light the Fuse (co-hosted by yours truly alongside Charles Hood).
With McQuarrie — who made his “Mission” directing debut on 2015’s “Rogue Nation” — writing and directing the next two sequels, he appeared on Light the Fuse alongside Cruise to tease the upcoming films and talk about the franchise. And when asked what comes next after “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Part Two” (set for release in the summer of 2024), McQuarrie said he didn’t know, exactly. But there is a new project that McQuarrie and Cruise have started talking about, to be co-written by McQuarrie’s partner Erik Jendresen (who is working on the new “Mission: Impossible” films). “It’s all the same to me, we’re all in every time,” McQuarrie said. “If it works,...
