Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol Teaser trailer

I'm a fan of the Mission Impossible franchise. Although generally uneven, I think they are all good summer popcorn movies. The first Mission Impossible film was fun. Loved seeing Jean Reno work off of Tom Cruise. I also liked the international feel of the piece. Mission Impossible II was more of a star vehicle for Tom Cruise and a showcase for director John Woo. Honestly, I remember liking some of the action...but I couldn't tell you anything about the movie's plot. Mission Impossible III was perhaps the most faithful adaptation from the television show and actually featured an elite team...not just Tom Cruise being super spy. I initially heard that this new movie was sort of a transition film, a passing of the torch if you will, with Jeremy Renner taking over the franchise. But it sure doesn't seem that way in this trailer. This looks like another full-blown Tom Cruise action adventure movie.

Which is fine with me.

Mission Impossible Ghost Protocal Is scheduled for release December 15, 2011. It is directed by Brad Bird.
