The latest Mission: Impossible instalment is around the corner and I’m kinda interested, kinda excited, though not because I’m a fan of either the franchise or Tom Cruise hisself – it’s for the directors who’ve gamely signed on (and the first one doesn’t count because Nobody knew)*:
– M:I-2 by a post-Killer, pre-Paycheck John Woo;
– M:I:III by the insanely prolific J J Abrams;
– and now Ghost Protocol from Iron Giant and Incredibles maestro Brad Bird.
… Yeah, I’m in.
Although somehow, somewhen along the way, whenever I think of the M:I franchise, I always flash on this:
* Disclosure: I’ll watch anything by Brian De Palma. Anything.
