Tom Cruise has made a lot of movies, but ranking them is far from an impossible mission. ]]>
<![CDATA[

Even as the age of the movie star has given way to the age of the IP franchise (Marvel, Star Wars, et. al), Tom Cruise has maintained his global status as a cinema icon. Even despite the public dubbing he’s taken over various personal issues throughout the years, Cruise remains on the Hollywood A-list into his fifth decade of acting. How does he do it? 1a471a

The simplest explanation is that he makes quality movies, both as a star and producer of his own films, as well as a savvy chooser of directors. He has worked with Francis Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Oliver Stone, Stanley Kubrick, Brian DePalma, and Michael Mann, among others.

As we prepare for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One, and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part Two in 2024, we look back on the running man’s career and answer the question: what are Tom Cruise’s best films to date?

10. Top Gun: Maverick (2022) 6413a

Top Gun: Maverick truly showed us the need for speed never goes away, even after 36 years. The long-awaited sequel to the 1986 hit action film managed to not only capture fans of the original, but captivate a new generation as well. Reprising his role as Top Gun graduate Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, Cruise is once again returning to the halls he once walked to teach a new class of recruits, including the son of his deceased best friend Nick “Goose” Bradshaw.

Just like Maverick, Cruise shows us that the times may change, but you can’t beat the classics. Not only does Cruise feel right at home back in the iconic leather jacket, but he gives an emotional performance as he faces the ghosts of his past. Plus, who didn’t love seeing Maverick and Iceman (Val Kilmer) working together rather than against each other?

9. Jerry Maguire (1996) 4m102m

Everybody was shouting “Show me the money!” in the wake of this film’s release, not least Cruise himself, after Cameron Crowe’s romantic comedy Jerry Maguire became one of the top-grossing hits of the year. Cruise plays the titular sports agent who suddenly develops a conscience about the cut-throat business, leaving him with slim pickings for clients, the most notable of which is football receiver Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr., who won as Oscar for the role.)

The heart of the movie is in the relationships between Jerry and Rod, as well as Jerry and Dorothy (Renee Zellwegger in her breakthough role), the young mother that captures Jerry’s heart and makes him understand what is important in this life. Zellwegger’s line, “You had me at hello,” became just as entrenched in the ’90s zeitgeist as “Show me the money!”

8. The Color of Money (1986) 6q2h39

The sequel to Robert Rossen’s 1961 black and white classic, The Hustler, teams Cruise with Paul Newman, who starred in the original.

The Colour of Money again stars Newman as Fast Eddie Felson, a semi-successful businessman who is itching to get back around the juice of the pool hall hustle. When he discovers that Cruise’s character, Vincent, is a prodigy with a cue, he teams up with Vincent’s girlfriend (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) to see if they can turn the kid into a shark.

Martin Scorsese’s one attempt at a conventional Hollywood feature starts out well, then sort of meanders to a conclusion. Once the master and apprentice dynamic between Eddie and Vincent is played out, The Colour of Money loses its sense of direction, not even providing a big showdown at the end. Still, the acting is superb. Cruise, with a shock of big black hair, isn’t afraid to play a callow idiot, and Newman remained one of the most natural and charismatic of movie stars even as he aged, winning his one and only Oscar for his performance.

7. Collateral (2004) 70115u

Directed by Michael Mann, Collateral stars Cruise as Vincent, a hit-man with silver hair. Vincent, however, is not one of Cruise’s patented shallow jerks who learns the error of his ways. He’s a bonafide sociopathic assassin who hijacks an L.A. cab and forces the driver, Max (Jamie Foxx), to chauffeur him around L.A. so he can pick off the targets on his hit list.

Mann shoots the movie with an early high-definition digital movie camera that give the L.A. nighttime locations an effectively course and unfinished look, and while Collateral is not as thrilling a film as Mann’s L.A. crime opus Heat, it surely has its moments. Still, the heart of Collateral lies not in the action, but the mordant philosophical exchanges between the nihilistic Vincent and the self-deluding Max.

6. Minority Report (2002) 5i1r1j

Cruise’s first collaboration with director Steven Spielberg (their second War of the Worlds would be hampered by Cruise’s famous antics on Oprah’s couch), Minority Report was hailed by critics with its rich story world and scary vision of the future in which a government agency, Pre-Crime, arrests and convicts murderers before they commit any crime. Cruise plays Chief John Anderton, a top Pre-Crime agent who must unravel the conspiracy that has him wrongly accused of a future murder.

Beautifully shot, staged, and designed by Spielberg and his crew, Minority Report has remained notable for its visionary look at the future, predicting such technological and political developments as domestic wiretapping and personalized advertising.

5. Rain Man (1988) 2u3e44

The idea that a two-character road trip drama without any VFX could become the highest grossing movie of 1988 seems incredible now, but Rain Man (directed by Barry Levinson) struck a nerve with audiences. Cruise plays another of his shallow jerks, a rare car dealer who kidnaps his autistic savant brother, Raymond (Dustin Hoffman), and drives him from Cincinnati to Los Angeles in the hopes of leveraging some of the substantial inheritance their father has left Raymond.

Dustin Hoffman got all the hype for this movie and deservingly won Best Actor for his convincing performance. Still, the character’s flat, emotionless line delivery and lack of eye means that somebody else needed to all the big emotional beats for the audience, which Cruise does without ever trying to steal the show. Cruie and Hoffman are a great team, and their matchup created some famous moments, such as when Raymond learns how to drive, orders pancakes, and declares that “K-Mart sucks.”

4. Edge of Tomorrow (2014) 3w6es

Often described as Groundhog Day with aliens, Edge of Tomorrow stars Cruise as an officer with no combat experience who is forced onto the front lines of a D-Day-style assault against alien invaders entrenched in . When he accidentally links up with the alien’s time-turning consciousness, he finds that he cannot be killed and must live the same day over and over until he and another soldier (Emily Blunt) can discover a way to conquer the enemy.

What could have been derivative and gimmicky is instead exciting and funny, as Edge of Tomorrow delivers inspired variations on a theme. True to form, Cruise is not afraid to play a very flawed character who only slowly learns to become an adequate soldier. Much of the fun comes from his character being endlessly slaughtered and humiliated. The extended climax is not as inventive as the rest of the picture, but overall you can’t ask for much more from a sci-fi action flick.

3. Mission: Impossible movies – Fallout (2018), Rogue Nation (2015), Ghost Protocol (2011) 4p5u69

The Mission: Impossible movies are an outlier in franchise filmmaking in that successive installments have tended to get better, not worse, than their predecessors, so that the most recent entry, Fallout, is the best reviewed of the series, with Rogue Nation and Ghost Protocol slotting in just behind.

The key to the success of these Mission: Impossible movies is Cruise’s insistence on quality, on staging the best stunts in the industry, and on publicizing his own participation in those stunts. For Ghost Protocol, he famously scaled the world’s tallest building in Dubai. In Rogue Nation, he leapt onto the side of a speeding plane. In Fallout, he did a high altitude halo jump.

The seventh installment of the Mission: Impossible series, Dead Reckoning – Part One, doesn’t come out until next year and already the big stunt that has Cruise leaping a motorcycle off a cliff is being publicized. Given the way this series has gone, no one will be surprised if Cruise tops himself again with the finale.

2. Born on the Fourth of July (1989) 415f61

Cruise’s Oscar-nominated tour-de-force performance as Ron Kovic, the real-life Vietnam veteran turned anti-war activist, remains a stunner.

Cruise had shown that he could act, turning in strong performances in movies such as Rain Man, The Color of Money, and Risky Business, but his raw performance in Born on the Fourth of July as a young man coming to with new physical limitations (Kovic was paralyzed from the waste down by a bullet wound in combat), and ideological disillusionment about the United States’ conduct in the war, took his performance skills to a new level.

Director Oliver Stone had dramatized the hell of combat a few years earlier in Platoon, and so in Born on the Fourth of July he renders a harrowing depiction of the conditions for returning vets, as well as the turmoil that the war created on the homefront. Stone’s ionate filmmaking along with John Williams’ lush score make Born on the Fourth of July a moving experience, and Cruise’s performance at its center remains one for the ages.

1. Risky Business (1983) 6gt25

It’s not always easy to pinpoint the exact moment an actor becomes a star, but with Cruise it was obviously the moment he slid across the floor in his skivvies and a pair of Ray Ban Wayfarers while lip synching to Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll” in Risky Business.

Cruise plays Joel, a high school senior who is thrilled to have the house to himself while his parents are away. Make no mistake, shenanigans will ensue as Joel has to figure out how to earn enough money to pay for the damage he causes (he drives his father’s Porsche into Lake Michigan, among other things), while also getting himself through a Princeton entrance interview. His solution? Turn the house into a brothel with the help of a sex worker (Rebecca De Mornay)!

Beyond it’s setup, Risky Business has little in common with the the cheap party flicks and shallow teen sex comedies that deluged 1980s cinema. Written and directed by Paul Brickman, Risky Business is a thoughtful movie about the treacherous transition into adulthood and a scathing critique of the amorality of capitalism. One of the defining movies of the 1980s, Risky Business remains a touching coming-of-age story and a trenchant satire of Reagan-era values.

‘Mission Impossible 7’ director details what role Angela Bassett would have had in the film 2r3ys https://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/movies/mission-impossible-7-director-details-what-role-angela-bassett-would-have-had-in-the-film/ https://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/movies/mission-impossible-7-director-details-what-role-angela-bassett-would-have-had-in-the-film/#respond <![CDATA[Jesse Torres]]> Tue, 11 Jul 2023 04:43:18 +0000 <![CDATA[Movies]]> <![CDATA[News]]> <![CDATA[Angela Bassett]]> <![CDATA[Christopher McQuarrie]]> <![CDATA[Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One]]> <![CDATA[Mission: Impossible – Fallout]]> https://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/?p=1532291 <![CDATA[
The Wakandan Queen would have ruled the CIA.]]>
<![CDATA[

Mission: Impossible has been one of the hottest franchises in Hollywood for three decades, so it’s no surprise that Mission: Impossible has been able to get Oscar-caliber actors to appear in ing roles. Jon Voight, Kristen Scott Thomas, Jeremy Renner and Alec Baldwin have all managed to steal the show with limited screen time, and Angela Bassett did the same when she was cast in Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018).

Bassett played Erika Sloane, the director of the CIA. She’s the one who tells August Walker (Henry Cavill) to keep an eye on Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise), given the latter’s reputation for going rogue. As anyone who has seen the film can tell you, though, Sloane gets double-crossed by Walker, who turns out to be the main villain. Sloane is a pretty standard “CIA boss” in the script, so it’s a testament to Bassett’s screen presence that the character winds up being a memorable part of the film.

So memorable, in fact, that she was supposed to return for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. During a recent interview with Variety, Christopher McQuarrie confirmed that Sloane was written into early drafts of the film. “She was going to be the head of the CIA,” the writer-director noted. “She would’ve been in the room with all of the other heads of the intelligence community that you meet.”

While a specific reason for Bassett’s absence was not given, it’s safe to assume that she was busy working on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022). The Marvel sequel was being shot around the same time as Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, and Bassett’s involvement was made doubly important after the ing of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman.

Bassett’s character, Queen Ramonda, was given more screen time in Wakanda Forever than ever before, and her death at the end of the second act was a crucial part of the film’s dramatic power. While it would have been nice to see the actress deliver a few killer lines in Dead Reckoning Part One, we wouldn’t have wanted to trade her devastating performance in Wakanda Forever for a glorified cameo. Bassett probably wouldn’t have either, as she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best ing Actress for the latter.

On the bright side, there’s plenty more opportunities for Bassett to play Sloane. Tom Cruise recently announced that he wants to make Mission: Impossible films until he’s in his 80s, and McQuarrie told Variety that he intends to bring back the CIA director as soon as possible. “We’re not done with Angela Bassett,” he teased. “Angela is too fabulous. You could never, ever let Angela get away. There’s always a plan in the future.”

While we eagerly await Sloane’s return, we don’t have to wait very long for Bassett’s. The Golden Globe winner will appear in the Netflix film Damsel opposite Millie Bobby Brown, Ray Winstone and Robin Wright. Damsel is scheduled for release on October 13. She will also lend her voice to the animated film Wildwood.

Completely pointless ‘Mission 2q2i39 Impossible’ VFX clip showcases the insanity of Tom Cruise https://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/news/completely-pointless-mission-impossible-vfx-clip-showcases-the-insanity-of-tom-cruise/ https://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/news/completely-pointless-mission-impossible-vfx-clip-showcases-the-insanity-of-tom-cruise/#respond <![CDATA[Jordan Collins]]> Wed, 19 Apr 2023 14:05:38 +0000 <![CDATA[Movies]]> <![CDATA[News]]> <![CDATA[Mission Impossible]]> <![CDATA[Mission Impossible 5]]> <![CDATA[Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol]]> <![CDATA[Mission: Impossible – Fallout]]> <![CDATA[Mission: Impossible 6]]> <![CDATA[Mission: Impossible 7]]> <![CDATA[Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning – Part 1]]> <![CDATA[Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation]]> <![CDATA[Tom Cruise]]> https://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/?p=1473783 <![CDATA[
You've got to hand it to Cruise, he's committed.]]>
<![CDATA[

Tom Cruise is widely known as one of the few actors in Hollywood who goes to insane lengths when doing his own stunts. While it is impressive, a clip shared on Twitter shows just how far he will go while also hilariously demonstrating the seemingly pointless VFX used in the scene.

The shared clip comes from the fifth film in the Mission: Impossible franchise: Rogue Nation. It shows Cruise’s character, Ethan Hunt, clinging onto the side of an airplane as it takes off from a runway. While most would have thought the scene to be created with a prop plane and a simple green screen behind Cruise, that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Yes. The Top Gun: Maverick star actually clung onto the side of a plane while it took off — and some man filmed it. And while that’s cool and all, it begs the question, what was the point of adding visual effects to that scene?

From what we can tell, all that really changes is that there’s a slightly darker filter that makes the colors a bit more prominent and the cord connecting Cruise to the plane has been edited out. Aside from that, the scene remains largely unchanged.

Twitter s commended Cruise for his commitment to the scene with many being in awe of the fact that it wasn’t all just CGI.

The Mission: Impossible films are filled with scenes of Tom Cruise just doing insane stunts like this — the man even scaled the side of the Burj Khalifa in Ghost Protocol, and while filming Mission: Impossible – Fallout, the actor broke his ankle jumping across rooftops in London. Bear in mind — he’s 60 years old! We can’t wait to see what crazy stunts he does in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, of which the first part is set to release July 14, 2023.

Action fans celebrate the anniversary of a truly iconic moment 432y2l https://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/movies/action-fans-celebrate-the-anniversary-of-a-truly-iconic-moment/ https://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/movies/action-fans-celebrate-the-anniversary-of-a-truly-iconic-moment/#respond <![CDATA[Liam McEneaney]]> Wed, 27 Jul 2022 23:28:11 +0000 <![CDATA[Movies]]> <![CDATA[News]]> <![CDATA[Social Media]]> <![CDATA[Henry Cavill]]> <![CDATA[Mission: Impossible – Fallout]]> <![CDATA[Tom Cruise]]> https://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/?p=1262361 <![CDATA[
Today is a day for action fans everywhere to celebrate, especially on social media, the 20th or 30th more most interesting thing that happened in a ‘Mission: Impossible’ movie.]]>
<![CDATA[

Henry Cavill went missing in action at this past weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con, equally disappointing hundreds of angry fans with unframed Joker posters on their walls as well as thousands of Twitterbots paid for by somebody who really wants to #RestoretheSnyderverse. This despite the fact that Warner Bros Discovery bosses have already said the Snyderverse is over, movie audiences didn’t really enjoy his tenure as Superman, and also Cavill already said he wasn’t appearing because he was in another country working on a project that gave him COVID.

However, there was good news for those in a parasocial relationship with the actor, as it is apparently the four year anniversary of the time he did something slightly amusing in Mission: Impossible – Fallout. In a movie that had audiences buzzing for Tom Cruise’s commitment to his stuntcraft, Henry Cavill also spent a split second doing something that kind of looked like his fist was maybe mimicking a shotgun reloading.

That’s pretty much the whole story, unless you want to sit here and read a bunch of reactions to that tweet. So instead let’s talk about Tom Cruise’s insane stuntwork in that film. As a refresher, let’s just take a look at this sizzle reel that Paramount put together of the five biggest stunts Cruise did himself, along with commentary from costars like Isla Fisher and Simon Pegg:

Let’s talk about that HALO (High Altitude Low Open) jump stunt. Tom Cruise actually jumps out of a plane cruising at 25,000 feet and freefalls until he opens his parachute at the very end. While the following featurette from the Mission: Impossible – Fallout Blu Ray explains the process of filming the stunt in more detail, essentially Cruise had to film it three times. He had to stay no more than three feet from the cameraman at all times. The cameraman, by the way, essentially had to make the jump all three times with Cruise while keeping the actor in focus at all times.

In the film, Cruise is wearing a helmet and that’s not just for show. It was a special helmet, certified by the Royal Air Force, that provided the actor with oxygen. Any head-on collisions with other actors or crew and he would have been rendered unconscious. Any sparks from equipment and it would have ignited.

In short, Tom Cruise is the world’s biggest star for a very good reason.

A Tom Cruise blockbuster is going nuclear on Netflix right now 3vo6n https://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/movies/a-tom-cruise-blockbuster-is-going-nuclear-on-netflix-right-now/ https://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/movies/a-tom-cruise-blockbuster-is-going-nuclear-on-netflix-right-now/#comments <![CDATA[Christian Bone]]> Wed, 05 Jan 2022 23:23:34 +0000 <![CDATA[Movies]]> <![CDATA[Netflix]]> <![CDATA[News]]> <![CDATA[Mission Impossible]]> <![CDATA[Mission: Impossible – Fallout]]> <![CDATA[Tom Cruise]]> https://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/?p=1126698 <![CDATA[
An acclaimed Tom Cruise blockbuster is going nuclear on Netflix right now, ahead of the Hollywood stalwart's return to screens this spring. ]]>
<![CDATA[

A Tom Cruise blockbuster is going nuclear on Netflix right now. Cruise has been a mainstay of Hollywood ever since the 1980s, and he’s still going strong all these decades later as we plow through the 2020s. In fact, his star power is so strong that he’s reprising a couple of his most iconic roles this year. Cruise returns as Peter “Maverick” Mitchell in this spring’s Top Gun: Maverick, and he’s back in the fall for another Mission: Impossible outing as crack spy Ethan Hunt.

But before Mission: Impossible 7 gets here later this year, Cruise-aholics are going crazy for the last entry in the franchise on streaming. As per the latest stats from Flix Patrol, 2018’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout has just climbed up a staggering 48 points on the Netflix charts today to become the 12th most popular title on the platform the world over.

Fallout, the sixth M:I film and the second to be directed by Christopher McQuarrie, sees Hunt and his team of fellow IMF agents — including Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames), Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg), and Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson) — attempt to track down the mysterious John Lark, the new leader of the Apostles, the evil organization from 2015’s Rogue Nation. Henry Cavill also stars as CIA August Walker, a foil for Cruise’s Hunt.

It’s no wonder that Netflix s are flocking to Fallout as many fans consider it the best the M:I franchise has to offer. As well as raking in a whopping $791.1 million at the global box office, it’s also critically acclaimed, sitting at a near-perfect 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics call it “fast, sleek, and fun” and says it sets “yet another high mark for insane set pieces in a franchise full of them.”

We’ll have to see if McQuarrie can top his own work with Mission: Impossible 7, the first half of the epic two-part finale to the series, when that arrives this September. Mission: Impossible 8 follows in July 2023. In the meantime, you can stream Mission: Impossible – Fallout on Paramount Plus in the US.

A Great Tom Cruise Movie Is Dominating Netflix Today 1j2k40 https://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/movies/great-tom-cruise-movie-dominating-netflix-today/ <![CDATA[Scott Campbell]]> Sun, 22 Nov 2020 17:46:49 +0000 <![CDATA[Movies]]> <![CDATA[Netflix]]> <![CDATA[News]]> <![CDATA[Mission: Impossible – Fallout]]> https://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/?p=966706 <![CDATA[
One of Tom Cruise's best movies is dominating Netflix's most-watched list today, with tons of people checking it out.]]>
<![CDATA[

Tom Cruise has reigned as one of the biggest movie stars on the planet for almost 35 years, but despite showing such impressive staying power and longevity to remain at the pinnacle of his industry for so long, the diminutive actor rarely makes sequels to his most successful efforts. In fact, with the exception of Jack Reacher: Never Go Back and next year’s Top Gun: Maverick, the only role that the 58 year-old has ever played more than once throughout his illustrious career is Mission: Impossible‘s Ethan Hunt. The blockbuster espionage franchise has been going strong for close to a quarter of a century now, and given the enduring popularity of the series, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to discover that five of Cruise’s six highest-grossing star vehicles are Mission: Impossible movies. The globetrotting actioners are arguably more popular than ever, too, with the last three entries, Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation and Fallout being the most lucrative projects in both the Mission: Impossible back catalogue and Cruise’s filmography.

While the movies have been marked by inconsistency over the years, as you’d expect from any six-picture franchise that’s roped in five different directors, Fallout is arguably the cream of the crop. Returning director Christopher McQuarrie crafts the first genuine sequel, continuing several major plot threads from Rogue Nation while doubling down on the spectacular set pieces. The action is among the finest committed to film in the modern era, with Tom Cruise once again suffering for his art by leaping from moving planes, sprinting across rooftops, taking the wheel for high speed car chases and even learning to pilot a helicopter for the stunning third act climax. And after earning almost $790 million at the box office, Mission: Impossible – Fallout continues to prove massively popular and is currently one of the most-watched titles on Netflix around the world, sitting comfortably in tenth place today on the global charts.]]>

Sources close to We Got This Covered have informed us that Henry Cavill may reprise his role of Walker in the blockbuster, Mission: Impossible 7.]]>
<![CDATA[

The Mission: Impossible franchise is an anomaly: an action blockbuster series that has only gotten better in its older age. Whatever powers that drive Tom Cruise to do what he does – be it Xenu, L. Ron Hubbard, or his very limited calorie count – have only amplified the thrills. Last year’s Fallout saw the Top Gun and Jerry Maguire star complete an on-camera Halo jump, navigate a motorcycle through the Arc de Triomphe in the wrong direction, and commandeer/steer a helicopter in an exhilarating chase sequence. Yes, these films are only getting better and better; to the point where, if it were any other franchise, I’d ask them to stop out of fear that one bad entry would ruin the rest of the bunch. But not here. In the case of Mission: Impossible, keep ’em coming! Fortunately, a lot of fans have come to the same conclusion. Unlike say, the Terminator series, whose latest film has more than disappointed its studio’s executives, Fallout was the highest grossing product of the franchise – out-earning Rogue Nation by over $100 million. In that success, it was announced that two more movies – Mission: Impossible 7 and – would be coming to us eventually. And since then, we haven’t heard too much about what either of those productions will be about. Though that may be a good thing.

With that said, sources close to We Got This Covered – the same ones who told us that Ewan McGregor was returning as Obi-Wan and that Charlie Cox is returning as Daredevil in the MCU, which seems all but confirmed now – have informed us that Paramount is considering bringing back Fallout‘s main antagonist, Henry Cavill, for Ethan Hunt’s next flight. The Man of Steel star played August Walker, a covert CIA agent who actually initiated the nuclear arms race that the IMF team is attempting to stop. After the aforementioned helicopter chase, Walker met a very grisly end at the bottom of a snow-covered mountain. But just as flashbacks and dream sequences brought back Rogue Nation‘s Solomon Lane, Walker would pop in Mission: Impossible 7 via the same means. So, super-spy fanatics, what do you think of this possibility? Should the dead remain dead? Or would you not mind seeing Cavill’s bicep-pumping, mustache-bearing beast come back? Be sure to drop us a comment down below and share your thoughts.]]>

Following the CBS, Viacom merger earlier this week, it appears work's begun on a Mission: Impossible spinoff television series.]]>
<![CDATA[

After more than a decade apart, CBS and Viacom announced a new merger on Tuesday. A new company called ViacomCBS will emerge as a new corporate umbrella, and underneath it will be heavy-hitter brands like Paramount Pictures, CBS TV, Showtime, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central, among others. And in the midst of this deal, it seems the ideas are beginning to flow, and in some cases, formulating into something bigger. And that appears to be the case with one of Paramount Pictures’ hottest products, Mission: Impossible. Following the success of last year’s trailblazing action film, Fallout, the IMF team will be making its return to the small screen. As reported by /Film, and confirmed by sources close to We Got This Covered – the same ones who told us that Robert Pattinson was locked in for Batman, and that the leads of Ghostbusters 3 would be young teens – a spinoff series is indeed in development, with one important disclaimer. Tom Cruise, who’s starred as Ethan Hawke in all six movies, will not be involved. Instead, the show’ll focus on another division of the Impossible Missions Force.

While details are slim for the time being, it’s important to note that this isn’t the first time the franchise has appeared on television. In fact, it began as a TV series. With a successful run from 1966-1973, it starred Peter Graves, Martin Landau and Barbara Bain and earned three Golden Globes before closing shop. It then reemerged for a two-year stint in 1988, with Graves as the lone returner from the original cast. Graves never made his way back to the IMF scene following that second series, but his character, Jim Phelps, was controversially the central antagonist of Cruise’s first M:I film. In the nearly 30 years since Mission: Impossible left television, it’s garnered a consistent and growing audience. So perhaps now’s the perfect time to bring a new team into the spotlight? Stay tuned for further updates.]]>

With 2018 now behind us, we look back at 10 incredible films that we simply can't stop talking about.]]>
<![CDATA[

At the end of every year, somebody out there will say “this was a terrible year for movies.” Though the 2018 catalogue had an incredible number of what were ultimately disappointing films (I’m looking at you, The Mule), calling it “terrible” would be, for lack of a better string of words, a terrible thing to do. With the ever-growing confidence and innovation of the television and streaming industries, good, impressive filmmaking and getting audiences inside the theaters have become a couple of pretty difficult tasks. And while there will always be duds among the gems, and while I won’t pretend to be as excited for this year’s awards season as I was last year’s, I will also not squander the many achievements we saw this year with the arrogantly simple title, “terrible.” And so, with that in mind, here are my picks for the top 10 movies of 2018.

It’s no secret that the Man of Steel himself, Henry Cavill, flew from Justice League straight to the production of Mission: Impossible – Fallout – as a matter of fact, the two shoots overlapped. And so, mustache-gate was born. Of course, that was never the plan, and Cavill recently went on record to it that, had he known of Justice League‘s extensive reshoots in advance, he would’ve chosen a different look for his CIA assassin, August Walker, Ethan Hunt’s worst enemy and a man capable of reloading his frickin’ arms. But if Henry Cavill has his way, Mission: Impossible – Fallout won’t be the last time that he collaborates with Tom Cruise, as the towering Brit recently told Screen Rant that he’d be game to re-team with the actor for a possible DC movie – like, say, Green Lantern Corps?

I would love to work with Tom again. So, any opportunity I get would be enormous fun.

Tom Cruise Green Lantern This isn’t the first time that Tom Cruise and Green Lantern have been mentioned in the same sentence; back in March, the Hollywood legend was said to be high on Warner’s wishlist for the Hal Jordan/John Stewart buddy cop movie – a movie that has since been described as a complete reimagining of DC’s cosmic hero. And, well, providing Henry Cavill dons Superman’s cape beyond 2018, there’s a very good chance Kal-El and Hal Jordan could be sharing the screen together, thereby fulfilling Henry Cavill’s wish of headlining a DCEU movie alongside Tom Cruise. But what say you? Do you think Worlds of DC (and Green Lantern Corps!) could do with some Cruise Control? You can, as always, leave your own thoughts, comments and predictions down below.

Paramount's Mission: Impossible - Fallout is cocked, locked and ready to blow you away with more than just Henry Cavill's forearms.]]>
<![CDATA[

Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout boils down to two defining takeaways. One: Ethan Hunt’s latest probably-not-literally-impossible assignment feels *every second* of its nearly 150-minute runtime. Two: action sequences hit harder than Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet haymaker. That cocked-and-locked forearms gif of Henry Cavill y’all have been virally enjoying *still* doesn’t adequately sell the big-stick-swingin’ attitude of this mile-a-minute espionage heart-racer. Planning gets complicated and scripted twists ball a knot of complexity, but you’d have to be a corpse not to enjoy the film’s “impossible” adrenaline rush. Which, I can only assume, is second to the giddiness Tom Cruise experiences when risking his life for another unforgettable stunt. Ethan Hunt’s (Tom Cruise) latest objective, which he chooses to accept, is simple – recover three plutonium orbs before Solomon Lane’s (Sean Harris) remaining soldiers (referred to as The Apostles) can carry out their weaponized destruction. Things go according to plan for all of five minutes, then Hunt chooses to save partners Luther (Ving Rhames) and Benji (Simon Pegg) over securing his radioactive payload. IMF’s highly-combustible bounty vanishes into the night, so Secretary Alan Hunley (Alec Baldwin) sends the team back into action…with a babysitter. CIA hardass Erica Sloan (Angela Bassett) demands her most qualified fixer – August Walker (Henry Cavill) – tag along for insurance. Then MI6 agent Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson) resurfaces. And there’s an underground broker codenamed White Widow (Vanessa Kirby)? Plus, how can you tell who’s who with IMF’s rubberized “Halloween” mask obsession? Take a deep breath, abandon desires to dissect, and get ready for Mission: Impossible – Fallout to bring the motherflippin’ THUNDER. That’s why you’re here, and McQuarrie makes good by cranking “kickass” dials to 13 only to have Cavill punch ‘em all into oblivion.

Fallout’s chronology (surprisingly) picks up right where Rogue Nation left off. Lane’s syndicate – while he’s ed around in custody – has evolved into extreme radicalism and Hunt’s past relationships (Ilsa especially) come roaring back. Fallout is a ripple effect that spreads from Hunt’s decision to keep Lane alive, which McQuarrie uses to muster further hero development. Ethan Hunt keeps the world safe first and foremost, which is why once-wife/forever love Julia (Michelle Monaghan) had to leave. In this respect, Hunt’s shown as more than the laser-dodging, airplane-door-riding maniac who just “figures it out.” Human attributes crack his hardened outline, prodding a “softer” side by ensuring teammates live through ambushes unlike Cavill’s “leave no trace” professionalism. We see more of Hunt than normal, but it’s at a price. Mission: Impossible – Fallout throws [insert exaggerated number] possible endpoints at audiences and elongates already inflated tactical designs with roadblocks galore. At minutes shy of two-and-a-half-hours, progression seems to be in a constant state of flux where double-crosses or three-steps-ahead issions balk at “seeing is believing.” Everyone quietly stashes contingency breakdowns, along with last-ditch contingencies when the primary contingencies implode – and I get it. These are government-issue superspies who’d rather eat a bullet than fail. But McQuarrie’s incessant swerving forms a circular logic that cycles in repetitive motions. ittedly, it’s easy enough to just give up and enjoy high-stakes beatdowns, but the unexpected becomes ordinary to the point of being stuck in a teasing bullets-and-interrogations purgatory. Once you stop trying to guess who’s in on what, McQuarrie’s orchestrated overload of dodge-and-weave awesomeness is easy to appreciate. Camerawork may be fixated on Tom Cruise’s profile to remind the 50+-year-old does all his own crackpot stunts, but he’s not stealing any scenes. Henry Cavill is Cruise’s superior in every way, with his springy hair coils bouncing as Walker bodyslams targets through European nightclub mirrors. Rebecca Ferguson dodges traffic like Frogger 10.0 while motorcycling and gets some serious acrobatic air when forcing opponents to submit (aka choke out). And even Vanessa Kirby draws attention when she whips out a butterfly knife and instantly reminds us of Elizabeth Debicki as “White Widow” helps Hunt fight out of a crowded lounge bar jam-packed with greedy contract killers. One shot where Ferguson, Cruise, Cavill and Kirby all exit a room after having just front-kicked and stabbed their way through danger – disheveled but still effortlessly polished – skipped my heart three beats. That superteam, sauntering unfazed and in unison, had me *begging* for more of their buddy-system assassinations. Bless Benji and Luther, but me-oh-my these four could topple entire monarchies if they wanted to. Alas, here’s my biggest issue: pitting Cavill and Cruise as frenemies who *might* tussle (yes, they do) is a wee bit far-fetched. Cruise puts other mid-50s actioners to shame, but Cavill is an Adonis. Brawn, scruff and unmovable body mass. In no way do I see them as direct competition, but let’s just say Mission: Impossible – Fallout takes laughable liberties. Kirby pining over Cruise as she gets her kicks while they practically dance their way through action choreography? I buy it – their electric chemistry could power Chernobyl. All the witnessless rooms and pedestrian free walkways? Why not. But a worn-down Cruise going toe-to-toe with Superman for Krypton’s sake? No comparison. Cruise proves impressively capable be it tempting deadlier and deadlier stuntman fates or *still* saving the world in tight-black clothing, but Cavill’s casting is a step too far. He’s perfect for damn sure as an American cleaner with zero eraser protocol hesitation, just not believable for Cruise’s arch-whatever. That said, Cavill’s go-time performance is handsomely glorious. Doubling down with Cruise to shatter bathroom stalls while trying to incapacitate a particularly feisty mark. Fighting on the side of a goshdang cliff after his helicopter goes all Jurassic Park by dropping down rock formations like Tim’s Explorer. Deadlocking his eyes, calculating morbid costs, or even cracking a joke after *almost dying* thanks to his own HALO jump stupidity. Angela Bassett thinks she can control her loyal pet, but Cavill’s heavy-gun-holder owns Mission: Impossible – Fallout.
Tom Cruise isn’t the Ethan Hunt he once was, but that doesn’t stop…well, anything. Mission: Impossible – Fallout is still a decibel-shattering seismic burst of punch-into-gear entertainment from sophisticated brawling to speedster vehicle chases around such landmarks as ’s Arc de Triomphe. Cruise surrounds himself with a marketable ing crew ready for however many lumps and bruises it takes, and that’s what Christopher McQuarrie should be most thankful for. Those who can tangle with Cruise and find common ground, even when physical imposition declares otherwise. Might the franchise’s star be a bit long in the tooth for Ethan Hunt at this point? Given how worn-down and overmatched Mr. Impossible looks at times (while *still* pleasing crowds), I’d say he’s earned some relaxation and rights to produce a rebooted cast. For a last hurrah, Mission: Impossible – Fallout would be a notoriously noble bow.]]>

Mission 5x1cg Impossible – Fallout First Reactions Praise The Insane Action https://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/movies/mission-impossible-fallout-first-reactions/ https://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/movies/mission-impossible-fallout-first-reactions/#respond <![CDATA[Joseph Falcone]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2018 02:24:53 +0000 <![CDATA[Movies]]> <![CDATA[News]]> <![CDATA[Mission: Impossible – Fallout]]> http://wegotthiscovered.play1002.com/?p=721301 <![CDATA[
That’s right, first reactions to the sixth Mission: Impossible instalment are here, and I’m enthusiastic to report, they’re compellingly favourable. Steven Weintraub of Collider calls Fallout a “fantastic movie” with an “insane” amount of action and “edge of your seat holy shit moments.” Erik Davis, the managing editor of Fandango, echoed Weintraub’s “fantastic” sentiment, before adding “this move entertains you in every which way.” You can check out a few of our favourite tweets below.]]>
<![CDATA[

If setting the ultimate ticket booth touchstone is any indication, 2018 is indeed the year of the blockbuster. A little under two weeks ago, the domestic box office crossed the $6 billion threshold, making June 27th the earliest it’s ever reached that total. What with Black Panther becoming the first African-American film to earn more than $1 billion, Avengers: Infinity War only the fourth film to ever conquer the elusive $2 billion plateau, and Incredibles 2 opening to an unprecedented $182 million – the largest debut for an animated feature of all-time, mind you – all before we reached the halfway point, the new benchmark isn’t all that surprising. Nonetheless, should 2018 continue at this torrid pace – we’re tracking 9.4% higher than at this time last year – the total box office gross should, once again, be on the upswing, seeing as 2017 failed to keep the forward momentum going.

Regardless, because Ant-Man and the Wasp kicked off July to the tune of $161 million globally and Mission: Impossible – Fallout is still to come this month, bucking the trend shouldn’t be an issue, especially when considering the overwhelmingly positive initial response to the latter. That’s right, first reactions to the sixth Mission: Impossible installment are here, and I’m enthusiastic to report that they’re compellingly favorable. Steven Weintraub of Collider calls Fallout a “fantastic movie” with an “insane” amount of action and “edge of your seat holy shit moments.” Erik Davis, meanwhile, the managing editor of Fandango, echoed Weintraub’s “fantastic” sentiment, before adding “this move entertains you in every which way” and claiming it’s his favorite film of the summer.

Scheduled for release late this month, Mission: Impossible – Fallout will reunite Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) with his crackpot companions on July 27th. And after reading these reactions, we can hardly wait to see it.
