Eschewing the traditional model for advertising Mission: Impossible films--seeing how much of a poster you can fill with Tom Cruise's solemn face--this last-minute one-sheet for the latest in the M:I franchise instead takes an always-popular minimalist, Saul Bass-inspired form. Apparently those attending midnight IMAX screenings will be given an actual print of this design, so if you're going to see Tom Cruise continue to flee from explosions and inevitable physical aging on Thursday night, now there's something else to look forward to. Oh, right, and that Dark Knight Rises prologue thing, also.

Speaking at a Mumbai screening of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Procol on Sunday, Tom Cruise delighted Indian reporters with broad, promissory statements his publicist no doubt can't wait to clarify. Among them? The claim that Cruise would "never say no" to a Bollywood film:
"I love watching Hindi movies. There are many Hindi movies that come out every year but I do watch a few of them. (If offered a Bollywood film) I would never say no. I would love to do it."
TEST THIS STATEMENT, INDIA. And please test it with something that looks like this, but with a robot army of Cruises.
Yes, the "I'm floating! I'm floating!" pose. As if to confirm the rumors that Jeremy Renner would be taking over the Mission: Impossible franchise so that Tom Cruise can flee from one last explosion and continue off into the sunset, the latest trailer for M:I - Ghost Protocol places our new Bourne-like character in the role popularized by Cruise: man suspended inches from the dangers below. If that isn't a symbolic passing of the Mission: Impossible crackling wick, I don't know what is. Curiously missing from the trailer: any indication of Ving Rhames. I'm sorry, Ving, you are not our new Tom Cruise: Impossible.

If you've got a notion to put on a shirt and see the six-minute Dark Knight Rises prologue promised before showings of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, you're going to have to get really specific about which theater you go to. According to via), only 70mm IMAX screens will be screening the Dark Knight Rises footage, so if you want to hear Christian Bale's most recent Batgrowls, fight the heavy temptation to purchase anything that says "digital" and look for a theater with the 70mm projection. Otherwise, you're just going to be watching a lot of Tom Cruise jogging, and you'll have to wait until next year to see that Batman now has the strange affectation of giving a half-grin and a coy wink whenever he leaves a scene.
Just as the Joker robbery prologue for The Dark Knight preceded I Am Legend, taunting the audience with a much better film than the Will Smith film they were about to see, so too shall a sequence from The Dark Knight Rises go out before the film of a prominent, grinning Scientology defender. As reported by a /Film source and since confirmed by others, a six-minute clip from Christopher Nolan's upcoming Batman film will be attached to prints of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, opening in IMAX on December 15. Christmas comes early this year! Assuming a few minutes of Batman footage constitutes a "Christmas" experience for you. If so, I'm sorry, and have a merry Batman Christmas.
Once again scowling from beneath a jacket hood in his best James Blunt impression, here's Tom Cruise for Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol's first poster--the ideal wallhanging for those who like intense stare-downs from maniacs and two-digit numbers. Order yours today.

Spoiler: M:I 4 includes a post-apocalyptic shot-for-shot remake of James Blunt's You're Beautiful video, apparently. Prepare to swoon.
Ut oh! A bomb blew up the Kremlin! And you know what that means, guys: the president is initiating GHOST PROTOCOL. And you know what that means, right? I don't know what that means either, but it is making Tom Cruise run so much. Away from ghosts, probably.
