I’ve added High Resolution pictures from Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation:
Here’s a featurette from Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, featuring the airplane stunt. It looks real, because it is real!
The August 2015 issue of Empire has a feature on Mission: Impossible – Rogue, which opens this month. Here are the scans, thanks Luciana.

A brand new Trailer for Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation has just been release:
The movie opens on July 31st. August 13th for Brazil (I hate having to wait 2 extra weeks! Why can’t they be like other studios that release for us earlier…). For more release dates, check IMDb website.
When you think he topped his own stunt with Ghost Protocol, he pulls another! Via Yahoo!:
Forget rock climbing, scaling skyscrapers and flying on the wing of a jumbo jet. Tom Cruise’s most breath-taking feat involves not taking a breathing at all.
Cruise, the A-list daredevil who’s known for taking on the most death-defying stunts for his movies, told USA Today that the incredible underwater scene that we saw earlier this week in the new Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation trailer was done all in one take, a stunt that required him to defy the normal bounds of the human body. For six and a half minutes.
“It’s something I have always wanted to do,” he told the newspaper. “I have done a lot of underwater sequences. But we wanted to create a suspense underwater sequence without cuts…. We’re underwater and we’re doing breath-holds of 6 to 6 ½ minutes. So I was doing all my training with the other stuff [on-set]. It was very taxing stuff.”
To give you some context for this insane cardiovascular accomplishment, the average human can hold his or her breath for 30 to 40 seconds. The further one dives, the harder it is, and Cruise is swimming all over the place in the clip (which you can see below).
The record for breath-holding was broken last year by a German diver named Stig Severinsen, who was dropped into a temperature-controlled tank and stayed down there for over 22 minutes on one single breath. He was completely still the entire time — that’s called static apnea — while Cruise was performing dynamic apnea, which meant that he was moving the entire time. And of course, it’s much harder to hold your breath in that state.
It requires years of training and meditation to even reach six minutes, but Cruise says he only began thinking about attempting this stunt while making last year’s action movie Edge of Tomorrow.
We’re looking forward to the third trailer, in which Cruise will presumably turn into a dragon and fly through space.
A brand new trailer for Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation has been released:
Tom Cruise hung off the side of an airplane a death-defying eight times for the most memorable stunt in the upcoming “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation,” the actor revealed to theater owners Tuesday at CinemaCon.
The sequence required the star to an Airbus A400M as it soared 5,000 feet in the air, something that necessitated wearing special contact lenses so he could keep his eyes open despite the wind pressure.
“I’ve always wanted to do that,” Cruise quipped, as he presented behind-the-scenes footage of his air flight, adding, ” I want to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.”
In past “Mission: Impossible” films that’s resulted in Cruise scaling mountain peaks or hanging along the exterior of the Burj Khalifa. But this may have been his most dangerous mission yet. Cruise admitted that the crew did their best to make certain that there were no birds that could collide with the actor or jet fuel fumes to contend with, but at a certain point…it was up to the fates.
“He’s actually out there doing these things,” marveled Rob Moore, vice-chairman of Paramount, the studio behind the hotly anticipated sequel.
The ever affable Cruise laughed off the risks, but copped to a few twinges of anxiety. There was one shot of the actor giving the crew a thumbs up sign indicating he was ready for takeoff.
“I’m actually scared sh–less,” Cruise said.
The behind-the-scenes look at the signature stunt was part of Paramount’s presentation of its upcoming slate of films. The studio also screened two nearly finished scenes from the film, one that showed a shirtless Cruise drugged and hanging from a lead pipe as he’s beaten by a muscled bad guy called the bone doctor. Think the “Marathon Man” interrogation scene with a WWF star filling in for Sir Laurence Olivier.
The other scene centered on Cruise and Simon Pegg’s sidekick character Benji engaged in a high speed car chase through the streets of Morocco.
The Trailer for Mission: Impossible 5 – Rogue Nation was released earlier today, here are the screen captures
We got a first look on Sunday, and now Paramount Pictures has revealed the full first trailer for writer and director Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation. Check it out in the player below!
A Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot production, Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation will hit 2D and IMAX theaters July 31.
Here’s an article from USA Today and the very first stills from Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation. Plus I replaced the poster with an HQ version.
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.”
The new flick finds Hunt’s highly effective but destructive Impossible Mission Force (IMF) disbanded by vengeful Washington bureaucrats such as the CIA chief (played by Alec Baldwin). But Hunt pulls his team together (Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames and newcomer Rebecca Ferguson) to battle the shadowy force known as “The Syndicate” and its elusive leader (Sean Harris).
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.”
