New MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE ROGUE NATION Trailer; It Is A Bombastic AND Awesome Thrill-Ride

Paramount Pictures has released a new trailer for the fifth entry in the Mission: Impossible franchise, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation. Co-written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie (Jack Reacher), the sequel finds Tom Cruise and his IMF pals attempting to take down “The Syndicate”, a worldwide criminal organization described as the “anti-IMF”.

Watch the new trailer below. The film opens in IMAX and traditional theaters on July 31st, and also stars Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner, Sean Harris, Simon McBurney, and Alec Baldwin. 

Ethan and team take on their most impossible mission yet, eradicating the Syndicate – an International rogue organization as highly skilled as they are, committed to destroying the IMF.

Christopher McQuarrie Talks MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – ROGUE NATION STUNTS

Over the course of the Mission: Impossible films, Tom Cruise has dangled from ceilings, jumped from motorcycles and helicopters, and scaled the tallest building in the world. So it’s safe to say the series isn’t meant for someone who has difficulty with heights. Then again… “I have crazy vertigo,” says Rebecca Ferguson (Hercules), the latest addition to the franchise. She plays an operative with ambiguous allegiances who aids Cruise’s Ethan Hunt in his fight against the Syndicate, a mysterious shadow organization that operates as an anti-IMF. “Of course, the first scene we did, Tom and me, was throwing ourselves off a Vienna rooftop. I was going to say, ‘It couldn’t get worse,’ but it definitely did.”

At least she didn’t have to hang on to the side of an Airbus A400M cargo plane as it took off—something director Christopher McQuarrie (Jack Reacher) reserved for his star. “They brought me this plane, and I was looking at the model,” says McQuarrie. “And I said to Tom, ‘What if you were on the outside of this plane?’ I was kinda half joking when I said it, and he just looked at me and said, ‘Yeah, I could do that.’” Cruise, always one to do his own stunts, was actually strapped to the plane as it was flying at 3,000 feet while filming the sequence, which gives us vertigo just thinking about it.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE ROGUE NATION Trailer Released!

Paramount Pictures have dropped the first trailer for Mission Impossible 5 or should I say Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation. It’s filled to the brim of action, awesomeness, and another death-defying stunt from Tom Cruise himself! Check out what both Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie had to say about that very stunt, plus when you’re done with that look at the teaser itself!

Normal airline passenger boarding isn’t good enough for Tom Cruise anymore. Cruise just wings it as he steps back into the role of superspy Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible 5.

“I’ve often sat on airplanes, looked out and thought, ‘What it would be like out there on the wing?’ ” says Cruise. “This is the (stuff) I think about.”

“That’s me the whole time. I was standing right over the tires when we landed,” says Cruise, 52, proudly. “It’s nerve-racking for everyone else, but pretty exciting for me.”

The rare stunt shows the spectacular bar that Cruise must surpass each time up for the franchise, which has grossed more than $2 billion worldwide. Mission: Impossible and Cruise have produced iconic action images since the series started nearly 20 years ago — from Hunt breaking into CIA headquarters, suspended from the ceiling, in 1996’s Mission: Impossible to scaling the Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai for 2011’s Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol.

“We knew anything we did was going to be compared with the Burj. But it’s not like you could wait for someone to build an even taller building,” says director Christopher McQuarrie. “We keep pushing the envelope.”

Stunts that involved speeding on motorcycles, getting airborne in cars and holding his breath underwater for a lengthy period were executed in Morocco, Vienna and London. So there’s little time for rest, even after riding outside an A400 for two days.

“I was pretty exhausted, but there’s always more work to be done on a Mission movie,” says Cruise. “It always seems like there’s not enough hours in the day making them.”

Directed by McQuarrie (The Way of the Gun, Jack Reacher), the new Mission Impossible movie also stars Jeremy Renner (Marvel’s The Avengers, Kill the Messenger), Alec Baldwin (The Departed, 30 Rock), Simon Pegg (Star Trek, The World’s End), Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction, Dawn of the Dead), Simon McBurney (The Last King of Scotland, The Theory of Everything) and Rebecca Ferguson (Hercules, The Red Tent) and features a screenplay by Will Staples and Drew Pearce.

A Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot production, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation will hit 2D and IMAX theaters July 31.
