Tom Cruise Sends New Trailer, 20 Minutes of ‘Mission: Impossible’ Footage to CinemaCon

Per his annual tradition, Tom Cruise was dead set on sending to impress theater owners at CinemaCon. The actor and producer delivered with a new trailer for Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part 1as well as twenty minutes of footage from the upcoming film.

“Tom wanted us to let you know, this is not the opening of the film,” said Paramount films boss Brian Robbins in introducing the 20 minute scene, noting that he is not prone to hyperbole, but he believes this film is a high water. mark for the franchise.

Dead Reckoning Part 1 hails from Cruise good luck charm Christopher McQuarrie, who has directed, written or produced a number of his projects over the past decade. It has a release date of July 12 (moved up two days), with Dead Reckoning Part 2 expected for June 28, 2024.

Stars include Rebecca Ferguson, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Henry Czerny, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Angela Bassett, Cary Elwes, Indira Varma, Rob Delaney and Charles Parnell.

In years past, Cruise debuted stunts from previous movies, such as him hanging from the side of a plane, or skydiving or jumping a motorbike off a cliff in Norway.

Cruise is a favorite of theater owners. He resisted putting Top Gun: Maverick on streaming, which ended up being the top grossing domestic feature released in 2022 with $774.7 million domestic for a total of $1.49 billion globally. (Cruise was also handsomely rewarded for his patience, earning around $100 million from Maverick thanks to its gross.)
