There are many blockbusters hitting this winter, but the biggest of them all is the fourth iteration of the popular action series featuring world-class spy Ethan Hunt. Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol recently got a big bump when it was announced six minutes of The Dark Knight Rises would play precede it in 70mm IMAX, and today a new trailer and featurette have arrived for the film starring Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton, Josh Holloway, Michael Nyqvist, Vladimir Mashkov, Lea Seydoux and Anil Kapoor.
The featurette shows that Cruise has the biggest balls in the world, hanging off the tallest building in history, the Burj Khalifa. We also have a new trailer that shows off much more plot than the initial teaser. It looks like an extremely well-polished action flick with some great setpieces. The gang is stranded in the film and the interplay between Pegg, Renner and Cruise looks spot-on, but wish we got to see more of Patton. Check out the trailer below.

Synopsis:
This is not just another mission. The IMF is shut down when it’s implicated in a global terrorist bombing plot. Ghost Protocol is initiated and Ethan Hunt and his rogue new team must go undercover to clear their organization’s name. No help, no contact, off the grid. You have never seen a mission grittier and more intense than this.
Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol hits theaters December 16th, 2011 in IMAX only, before going wide on the 21st.
