The Mission Impossible Series is one of the most famous franchises of Hollywood. Tom Cruise is the star of the entire franchise and the first 4 films in the franchise were directed by different directors. However, the fifth film was helmed by Christopher McQuarrie and apparently he did such a good job that the franchise has stuck with him ever since. He directed the next film in the franchise Mission Impossible: Fallout and now he is going to direct the possibly last two films of the franchise – Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One and Part Two. These two films were supposed to conclude the franchise and give a proper send off to Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt. However, Christopher McQuarrie- the director of these two films has given us an important update that suggest us otherwise.
Mission Impossible 7: Dead Reckoning Part 1 Footage Leaked Description
As you may know, CinemaCon 2023 has officially begun and Paramount panel took the main stage on Thursday. The attendees were showered with load of updates about upcoming Paramount projects like Killer of Flower Moon, A Quiet Place: Day One, IF, Transformers One, and much more. Among all this, fans were also shown a new 20 minutes footage for Mission Impossible 7: Dead Reckoning Part 1.
The footage starts off with an Italian car chase with Hayley Atwell’s character that we got to see. We learned that she is a con artist or a thief that was transporting a key of some sort that is important to a bunch of people. She is caught, but we find out that she planted the key on an unsuspected passenger on the flight she was on. She meets up with Ethan, and eventually, they end up handcuffed together and on a race across Italy. We didn’t get to see any of the other supporting protagonists, but we did see some of our villains and that we will have multiple factions running around. Pom Klementieff spent the entire chase driving a giant army-issue car and not giving a single shit aside from her mission to get Atwell’s character.
We also get to see Shea Whigham’s character, who, at one point, has an opportunity to shoot Ethan straight in the head and doesn’t take the shot. He gets into a building claiming to be Interpol, and when it’s pointed out that he isn’t Interpol, his response is, “I could be if I need to be.” He and Klementieff’s characters are not on the same side; that much is clear. It’s not a Mission: Impossible movie unless ten people are running around, backstabbing each other, and trying to one-up the other.
The car chase is very well shot, and the added aspect of Atwell’s character and Ethan being handcuffed together makes everything harder to do when it comes to driving and adds some comedy to the entire thing. The brief laughs help relieve just a little bit of the building tension for the scene so it doesn’t become completely overwhelming. If this description of chase is anything to go by, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is going to totally worth it not just for the fans but also the makers.
As of now we are looking for some footage leaks and we’ll post them separately as and when we find them, so stay tuned! Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is all set to release in theatres on 14th July 2023.
