"Mission Impossible: The Last Call" Teaser Echoes Entire Saga Before Final Act
Teaser for concluding episode pays tribute to entire show's run - Preview of the Final Episode Paying Tribute to Entire Series' History
Be ready to hold on tight! The gripping eighth installment of the unstoppable "Mission Impossible" series, labeled as "The Last Call," is storming into cinemas on May 21, hinting at a thrilling climax. The freshly-dropped trailer pay homage to the past seven films in the series, reviving epic scenes while promising to up the ante and deliver signature adrenaline rushes.
Instead of a quick glimpse, like the Super Bowl teaser from Paramount Pictures released in early Feb, this two-minute-plus trailer kicks off by showcasing iconic highlights from earlier movies. A female voice narrates, "Is there a Goddamn way all this crap is real?" as she reels off Hunt's seemingly impossible missions over 30 years - from infiltrating the CIA’s vault in the first film, to bombing the Kremlin, and even orchestrating a security briefing gas attack - the list goes on and on.
Familiar faces join the ride as well, including Ving Rhames as tech whiz Luther Stickell, who's been with the series since day one, and Simon Pegg as Hunt's longstanding colleague Benji Dunn.
Stakes are Rising
The teaser then electrifies with intense new action sequences, proving Tom Cruise, over 60, is still all about the action, running, jumping, and fighting his way through intense scenes. Could this be his last lap as Ethan Hunt?
The jaw-dropping stunt that allegedly left Cruise dizzy multiple times involves him dangling from a biplane as it spins in the sky. Cruise himself revealed to Empire Magazine in Feb that he went through some close calls during these scenes.
The official summary for the film, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, lives up to its title: "Our lives are the sum of our choices." Get ready to witness the outcome starting May 21.
