'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' Trailer: Tom Cruise On The Run!

Ethan Hunt's mission, should he choose to accept it, is to go rogue. The latest -- and most insightful -- "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol" trailer hit the web courtesy of Yahoo! Trailers. And, for those of us who are excited for this movie for its whole cast instead of just Tom Cruise's continued participation, this teaser also gives the best look at the IMF team yet. It looks like they're going to have some interesting chemistry. It was obvious from earlier trailers that Jeremy Renner's character Brandt is more than meets the eye (this isn't a stretch: they have an exchange where Hunt asks him who he is really and Brandt replies, "We all have our secrets"), but this preview of the movie gives a better sense of the tension between the two IMF agents. Simon Pegg's Benji and Paula Patton's Jane are clearly on the side of Team Hunt, but Brandt looks like he's likely to cause a good deal of trouble for the group. And Josh Holloway's Trevor Hanaway looks like he's up to absolutely no good in "Ghost Protocol." So who can Hunt trust this time around? In case you missed the previous trailer for this film, Hunt and the rest of the IMF unit are set up on a mission in Moscow, and the Russian government considers the unexpected attack an act of war. The President initiates a black operation called "ghost protocol" and disavows the entire IMF force. It's up to Hunt to organize his team and find Brij Nath (Anil Kapoor), an intelligence agent with knowledge of the Moscow attack and the targeting of IMF. Also, let's take a brief moment of silence for Tom Wilkinson's seemingly deceased IMF leader, may he rest in peace away from all the craziness of a secret agent's lifestyle.

The Lone Ranger Sets February 6 Start Date; Giddyap!

EXCLUSIVE UPDATE: I’m hearing that Disney has set The Lone Ranger to start production February 6, 2012. That re-establishes one of the most intriguing examples of a star-driven film that was unplugged because of high budget and was put back together in a way that gives the studio a chance to recoup its costs. Though The Lone Ranger has arguably the world’s most bankable movie star in Johnny Depp, it also is a Western, which (as evidenced by the lackluster performance of Cowboys & Aliens), doesn’t as a genre do strong business overseas. I expect this to be formalized by tomorrow. EARLIER EXCLUSIVE, October 11, 4:38 PM: Well, it took a week longer than I thought it would, but Disney has finally reached a meeting of the minds on The Lone Ranger with director Gore Verbinski, Johnny Depp and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. The studio is expected to formalize a new start date imminently and announce it is moving forward and putting Depp back in the saddle as Tonto, with Armie Hammer as the title character. It looked like the studio was going to announce last week when the picture brightened for the film, but it will be this week’s business instead. I don’t think Disney was able to salvage its December 21 release date because production won’t start in New Mexico until early next year. The original plan was to begin shooting this fall. That was until, as Deadline revealed on August 12, the studio shockingly pulled the plug on a project it feared could come in at between $250 million-$275 million. The risk of such a figure on a Western became more glaring after Cowboys & Aliens had just turned in a severely disappointing domestic gross, to be followed by an even worse offshore performance, proving the adage that most Westerns don’t travel well. Cowboys & Aliens will be a costly money-loser, 50% shouldered by DreamWorks and the other half split between Universal and Relativity Media. On Lone Ranger, there has been a lot of behind-the-scenes drama as the three principal players made concessions in their deals, and worked on the script to salvage the spectacle that made the movie worth making in the first place while bringing the budget down to a more manageable figure in the $215 million range. It wasn’t pleasant, but Disney now has its original team behind the first three Pirates of the Caribbean blockbusters back together for a movie that’s expensive but at least will allow production chiefs Sean Bailey and Rich Ross the opportunity to sleep at night.

Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory

"Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory," the final outcome from the 18-years-in-the-making trilogy around the West Memphis 3 and also the 1994 triple murder that these were charged, was initially examined by Variety on Sept. 12 in the Toronto Film Festival. That review requested if the ending yet in the future -- connected to the film because it premieres March. 10 in the NY Film Festival -- would alter the viewing experience. The reply is yes. Whereas the Toronto-opened version ended having a simple title announcing that Damion Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelly have been freed after 18 many 78 days in jail (with Echols on dying row), the epilogue fashioned by helmers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky provides particulars from the tortured political and prosecutorial efforts produced by Arkansas to safeguard itself from lawsuit. Additionally, it is definitely the final court appearance from the three no-longer-teenagers, who have been pushed into pleading guilty having a profession of innocence (the so-known as Alford plea). Broadly, the film's ending is unchanged in regards to the fates from the three. But like its forerunners, "Purgatory" is rich in righteous indignation, a feeling of turned away justice and training gone unlearned. The Toronto fadeout perhaps let auds off easy the brand new ending does not. "Some are pleased, some are angry plus some are perplexed," states Arkansas district attorney Scott Ellington, "and that is the situation in the finish of each and every trial. This a person's exactly the same.Inch For audiences who might believe the accused to become guilty, Ellington's statement creates chilling cinema. According to their usual m.o., Berlinger and Sinofksy don't comment they simply let people bury themselves using their words -- and, to some extent, their votes: Even though it goes almost unmentioned, the situation was came to the conclusion with no original judge, David Burnett, who for a long time refused retrials and declined new evidence that will have freed the males. Judicial misconduct? No. Burnett was simply not available, getting been chosen towards the Arkansas Condition Senate. Contact the range newsroom at news@variety.com

The Incident

A WY Prods. production in association with Artemis, SND Groupe M6 and Direct Cinema. (International sales: SND Groupe M6, Paris.) Produced by Wassim Beji. Executive producers, Roy Lee, Doug Davison. Directed by Alexandre Courtes. Screenplay, Jerome Fansten, S. Craig Zahler.With: Rupert Evans, Kenny Doughty, Joseph Kennedy, Dave Legeno, Marcus Garvey, Richard Brake. (English dialogue)Yet another variation of horror-movie tropes that date back beyond "Night of the Living Dead," "The Incident" wrings only modest suspense and low-voltage shocks from what might seem like a surefire setup: Rock musicians moonlighting as cooks in a high-security insane asylum are menaced by inmates during a storm-triggered power outage. In his debut effort as a feature filmmaker, musicvid director Alexandre Courtes uses spooky visual flourishes to distract from the shortcomings of a formulaic scenario that steadily devolves into muddled confusion. Only diehard genre fans will take note at niche fests and on homevid. George (Rupert Evans), Max (Kenny Doughty) and Ricky (Joseph Kennedy) are the none-too-talented rockers who must barricade themselves in the asylum kitchen while inmates -- usually heavily medicated and relatively docile on the other side of a large window -- get progressively more bloodthirsty as the long, dark night unfolds. Naturally, the window is broken, other asylum employees are annihilated, and outside help is very, very slow to arrive. Narrative logic is occasional, and dream-scene fakeouts don't help. Lead performances are competent without being terribly compelling.Camera (color), Laurent Tangy; editor, Baxter; music, Christophe Chassol; production designer, Paul Rouschop; costume designer, Catherine Marchand.
