Los Angeles, April 29 (IANS): Hollywood star Tom Cruise will be returning as Ethan Hunt in the seventh installment of the ‘Mission Impossible’ franchise called ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’. Paramount Pictures revealed the tentpole’s official title during its Thursday presentation at CinemaCon, the annual trade show for theatre owners.
Cruise, who is usually a regular presence at the convention in Las Vegas, wasn’t in attendance, reports ‘Variety’.
Though in fairness, he attended last year’s CinemaCon to talk up the death-defying stunts in ‘Mission: Impossible 7’ before the movie’s release date was pushed back by a year due to Covid.
At that time, he was most excited about driving a motorcycle off a cliff in Norway, an antic he called “far and away the most dangerous thing I’ve attempted.”
Audiences got a sneak preview of that anxiety-inducing moment – and more – in the high-stakes trailer, which hasn’t been made available to the public.
