Tom Cruise lived and made the Mission: Impossible franchise a ginormous hit franchise with critical accolades embedded in its glorious cinematic journey over the years. However, Cruise was not devoid of any mistakes and the actor regretted killing off one actor too early.
Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible
Cruise’s celebrated action franchise created a legacy since the first Mission: Impossible movie was released in 1996 and Cruise’s titular character Ethan Hunt— an agent in the Impossible Mission Force (Imf) espionage agency lived on with a huge fanbase. Of course, the franchise has been a spectacle but the death of many characters over the years in the movie series definitely rattled some fans.

In Christopher McQuarrie's 2018 action spectacular "Mission: Impossible - Fallout," Henry Cavill plays a Special Activities Division agent named August Walker who is assigned to aid Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) in the retrieval of weaponized plutonium that had fallen into the wrong hands. Walker is a sour, exasperated, towering bruiser who sports impeccable hair, an amazing mustache, and biceps like pomelos. Needless to say, Hunt and Walker do not get along, as Hunt was the one who lost the aforementioned plutonium to begin with, and Walker suspects that something more nefarious may be going on. Hunt, likewise, suspects Walker.
Luckily, both of them are handy in a fight. In a film full of notable action and stunt sequences, one of the most memorable takes place in a public restroom with Walker fistfighting a cadre of potential weapons dealers. Cavill's fists are like anvils in this scene, and he lands punches with brutal precision.

Stop me if you've heard this one before, but one of the greatest super-spies in all of fiction has gone rogue and is now on the run from the government he's supposed to be working for. Oh, and there's probably another World War on the horizon if he fails. No pressure!
If that general storyline is good enough for the likes of James Bond, Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer, and Ethan Hunt, then it certainly works for one of author Tom Clancy's most enduring characters: Jack Ryan. Prime Video has aired two seasons of "Jack Ryan" with "The Office," "13 Hours," and "A Quiet Place" actor John Krasinski in the title role, punching and shooting his way through hordes of bad guys ever since the show's debut in August of 2018. More than three years after season 2 came to a close, the action/thriller series is back once again with its most dire stakes yet.

The "Mission: Impossible" franchise, much like the name implies, has been a downright impossible and wild thing in the Hollywood landscape. The movies have, against all odds, survived since 1996 when the original, somewhat humble action flick -- starring Tom Cruise and based on the TV show of the same name -- was released. They have never been rebooted in 25 years, and there are two more movies on the way, with Cruise still at the center of it all as Ethan Hunt.

Despite exhaustive pleas from producer/star Tom Cruise to the cast and crew of Paramount's "Mission: Impossible 7" to take 'Covid-19' precautions, the feature has suddenly halted shooting in the UK for 14 days after members of the production tested positive for the virus:
According to production, "...we have temporarily halted production on Mission: Impossible 7' until June 14th, due to positive coronavirus test results during routine testing. We are following all safety protocols and will continue to monitor the situation..."

Production on “Mission: Impossible 7” has shut down after a positive coronavirus test.
The latest movie in the Tom Cruise-starring action franchise was filming in the U.K. when the positive test occurred. A spokesperson for the Paramount and Skydance production confirmed work on the project will be stalled until June 14.
“We have temporarily halted production on ‘Mission: Impossible 7’ until June 14th, due to positive coronavirus test results during routine testing,” reads the statement. “We are following all safety protocols and will continue to monitor the situation.”
Like most major Hollywood productions, “Mission: Impossible” has faced a complicated road to the big screen, first impacted by the industry-wide shutdown in February 2020 (days before the film’s planned shoot in Venice), and with a number of subsequent stops and starts due to the pandemic. Filming on the globe-trotting sequel resumed in the fall, but production was also delayed for...

It was 25 years ago that we got our first look at Tom Cruise as agent Ethan Hunt in the first Mission: Impossible movie. Over the years, we’ve seen the character grow and evolve through five more M: I movies, with another pair of films on the way — the seventh in the series due […]

Much like the U.S. Navy's top gun pilot known as Maverick, Ethan Hunt of the Impossible Mission Force can't be tamed. Every time you look, he's jumping off a building, scaling a mountain, riding a motorcycle through fire or otherwise hurtling through the air. Of course, neither of those men is real. They're the cinematic embodiments of Tom Cruise, the fearless action hero of our times, barely slowed by a broken ankle here or a heated lecture on safety protocol there. But unlike Maverick, who took more than 30 years off between flights, Hunt has chosen to accept a slew of impossible-seeming missions—perhaps none more perilous than filming a stunt-packed...

The Big Screen Is Back on May 19 was, in effect, CinemaCon concentrate: the annual four-day Las Vegas event in which studios and other distributors woo thousands of exhibitors and hundreds of press, boiled down to less than four hours in Century City to an audience of about three dozen journalists. Scale aside, it was remarkably similar to the classic CinemaCon: Thirteen distributors, touting endless trailers. Major producers and filmmakers declaring their dedication to the theatrical experience. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Celebrating movies, and our ability to see them in public after a pandemic, is normal. What made it strange was the real world was not on display. Everyone knows that the theatrical release is an option, not a necessity.
Consider everything that’s happened in the two years since the last CinemaCon in 2019:
We’ve seen the launch of Disney+, Apple+, HBO Max, Paramount+, Peacock, Discovery+, and more. The 90-day theatrical window,...

It was a rare thing even back then. Inside movie houses across America, the silence was so acute you could hear a popcorn kernel drop—never mind pins. That was because on the big beautiful cinema screen, Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt was performing what 25 years and six Mission: Impossible movies later may still be his greatest stunt. And there weren’t any motorcycles revving up, nor was there a plane taking off. All we needed was an actor dangling from a wire over a glass floor. If you looked closely, too, out of the corner of his eye there suddenly would be a single drop of perspiration, which if it hit the floor meant game over. Trust us, Tom, you weren’t the only one sweating bullets that day.

To celebrate the release of Every Breath You Take, which is out now in US cinemas and on demand, we had the pleasure of speaking to star Michelle Monaghan about the thriller.
A searing psychological thriller from director Vaughn Stein (Terminal), Every Breath You Take tells the story of a psychiatrist (Casey Affleck), whose career is thrown into jeopardy when his patient takes her own life. When he invites his patient’s surviving brother (Sam Claflin) into his home to meet his wife (Michelle Monaghan) and daughter (India Eisley), his family life is suddenly torn apart.
After years in development hell, the film finally got a greenlight after singing its cast and Monaghan tells us about the lure of the story and the family dynamics at play in the film, re-teaming with Casey Affleck after Gone Baby Gone, Sam Claflin’s dark role and why the role is different to others she has played before.
