Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning – Hanging Off A Plane BTS
Paramount released a new, short behind-the-scenes featurette that spotlights the plane stunt in the upcoming Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.
Article Summary
- Paramount unveils a behind-the-scenes look at a plane stunt in Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.
- Focus remains on Tom Cruise's daring stunts over plot details in promotional materials.
- The featurette reveals the physical challenges of performing the stunt on the yellow plane.
- Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning will debut at Cannes before its theatrical release.
To the surprise of exactly no one, the primary marketing for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning appears to be focusing on star Tom Cruise doing increasingly insane stunts as we all wait to see if this is the one that shifts this man off of this mortal coil. The insurance premium at Paramount when Cruise's name is attached to a project must be insane. At the moment, they aren't telling us much about the plot of this supposedly final film in the franchise, which isn't that surprising. The plot was the weakest aspect of the previous movie, and while some rewriting has been done here, it's still a direct sequel to a weak film. So, focusing on the stunts and giving Cruise and said stunt team all of the flowers in the world makes perfect sense in the year the Oscars decide to recognize stunts. This airplane scene is one we have known about for years now. It seemed like any update about this film came from the wing of this yellow plane, but hearing the physical toll it takes on the human body is still something to behold, as explained in this short behind-the-scenes featurette. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning will be premiering at the Cannes Film Festival next month before releasing in theaters the following week.
