Update: The trailer is now live! Watch it here or below.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon is already getting a brand new Captain America: The First Avenger trailer, but there is an even bigger one attached. I’ve confirmed with sources that the very first trailer for Brad Bird‘s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol will play before Michael Bay‘s robot fiesta. I’m waiting on word from Paramount if the scenes shot in IMAX will actually be show in IMAX in the trailer, but it does run 2 minutes and 15 seconds. It is pretty obvious that the studio would attach a trailer for one of their biggest blockbusters to the biggest blockbuster of the year, but it is nice to have confirmation.
I truly think that Ratatouille and The Incredibles director’s first live-action film is one of the most promising action films of the year, as Tom Cruise is joined by Jeremy Renner, the latter of whom will go on to take over Matt Damon‘s franchise with The Bourne Legacy. Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton, Vladimir Mashkov, Michael Nyqvist, Josh Holloway, Lea Seydoux, and Anil Kapoor round out the rest of the major cast, but the story is still under wraps.
With it being the first movie since The Dark Knight to actually shoot some scenes in the astounding IMAX format, it should at least be one of the most technically impressive films of the year. I was also able to see some of this footage at a Paramount presentation earlier this year, and it indeed looks fantastic. Check out my brief impressions here.
To confirm my findings, it seems as though some IMDb users have already got a look at the trailer. Check out their impressions below.
– The Eminem song is: Won’t back down ft Pink.
– The building that explodes in the beginning is the Kremlin building. It was bombed. They accuse IMF of the bombing so they have to escape.
– Jeremy Renner’s line in the end is: “You’re not gonna make it.” Tom replies: “You’re not helping.” Then he starts swinging across the building side.
– The dialoge between Tom and Simon Peg goes as follows. They are testing a glove that can help you climb buildings. It has different colors on the fingertips.
Simon Peg: “Blue is glue.”
Tom Cruise: “And what about red?”
Simon Peg: “Dead.”– The mission impossible theme is a rock/metal remix.
– There are a lot of scenes in Dubai.
– Party scenes are in the trailer. And we see a lot of girls and fancy cars.
– There’s this scene were some cars crash into each other. Tom jumps away while a car bumps right over him and just misses him. This takes place in the dessert.
– The phrase: “Your mission, should you chose to accept …” is being said.
– At the end it says: “This December”.
Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol hits IMAX theaters on December 16th, 2011, while Transformers: Dark of the Moon begins screenings at 3D and IMAX theaters at 9pm on Tuesday, June 28th.
Is Ghost Protocol one of your most anticipated blockbusters of the year?
