The Mission Impossible franchise has been waiting for its new installment for six years now.   Tom Cruise will again star as the IMF agent Ethan Hunt as he and his team will plunge into deep cover in Russia.  Brad Bird is directing while Tom Cruise, and J.J. Abrams will produce.

Ghost Protocol follows Ethan Hunt and his Impossible Mission Force  (IMF) team after a bomb has gone off at The Kremlin (the place of residence of the President of the Russian Federation.)  IMF,  a secret part of the CIA, is being blamed for the bombing so they send Hunt and his team in deep cover in order to clear its name.

The series is well known for its iconic theme song, explosive action sequences along with Tom Cruise starring as the main role.  For the fourth installment, new cast members have been added like, Jeremy Renner from The Hurt Locker, for the role of Brandt.  Along with him, comes Josh Holloway, a usual in the works of J.J. Abrams.

Halloway is best known as Sawyer from Lost.  Ving Rhames (Dawn of the Dead, Pulp Fiction will be returning to the cast for the fourth time along with Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz, Star Trek) for his second time.

Ghost Protocol is Brad Bird’s first live action movie.  Coming from an animation background in Pixar, Bird has directed Ratatouille, and the Incredibles. J.J. Abrams, commented on Bird’s style to MTV News.

“It’s so weird to watch scenes for a movie by a director that feels so of that director’s style, and yet you realize you’ve never ever seen a live-action film by that director.  You watch moments where you go, ‘That’s so Brad Bird!’ And then you realize, oh, it’s so weird to have seen a Brad Bird moment with actual flesh and blood actors.’”

When the trailer leaked there did not seem to be many moments that seem like they were directed by Bird, but being that its only the trailer, it’s far too early to judge.

J.J. Abrams has had a history with the Mission Impossible Franchise.  As director of the third installment, Ghost Protocol will have that certain Abrams feel to it.  Tom Cruise, having produced the last three installments is also on board producing.

The movie was shot, and will be playing in IMAX. Many fans feel like it will be worth the money to see it.  One scene shot on the IMAX cameras is when Hunt is climbing the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.  The shot is so intense that seeing that shot in IMAX would be breathtaking.

Mission Impossible fans have been waiting six years for a new piece of the franchise to come out.  With new IMAX cameras being utilized the cinematography will be a sight for sore eyes.

The only thing that is intriguing people is how will Brad Bird transition from animation to live action?  Protocol is about 4 months away, releasing on December  21 and the hype is starting to set in.

Ethan Hunt has been in trouble before but will he be able to get himself out of trouble again?

After Lost, J.J. Abrams created a new tv series called Alcatraz for Fox Tv and now it is slated to premeire 2012. The chilling new thriller centers on America’s most infamous prison and one-time home to the nation’s most notorious murderers, rapists, kidnappers and thieves. The first trailer of Alcatraz called Alcatraz, First Look Trailer was published by Fox Tv about three months ago. If you want to watch it click here.

There are very successful and important people in Alcatraz considering that J.J Abrams is the creator and executive producer who is also the creator of Lost, Elizabeth Sarnoff is executive producer and writer who is writer of Lost and Deadwood. Stars of Alcatraz include Sarah Jones, Jeffrey Pierce, Robert Forster, Sam Neill, Jorge Garcia, Jonny Coyne, Jason Butler Harner and Parminder Nagra.

Fox even published a synopsis about upcoming series Alcatraz. This synopsis gives a lot of information about it. Here is the synopsis:

When San Francisco Police Department Detective Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones, Sons of Anarchy) is assigned to a grisly homicide case, a fingerprint leads her to a shocking suspect: Jack Sylvane (guest star Jeffrey Pierce, The Nine), a former Alcatraz inmate who died decades ago. Given her family history – both her grandfather and surrogate uncle, Ray Archer (Robert Forster, Jackie Brown) were guards at the prison – Madsen’s interest is immediately piqued, and once the enigmatic, knows everything but tells nothing. Yet, when government agent Emerson Hauser (Sam Neill, Jurassic Park) tries to impede her investigation, she’s doggedly committed.

Madsen turns to Alcatraz expert and comic book enthusiast, Dr. Diego “Doc” Soto (Jorge Garcia, Lost), to piece together the inexplicable sequence of events. The twosome discovers that Sylvane is not only alive, but he’s loose on the streets of San Francisco, leaving bodies in his wake.

Strangely, he hasn’t aged a day since he was in Alcatraz, when the prison was ruled by the iron-fisted Warden Edwin James (Jonny Coyne, Undercovers) and the merciless Associate Warden E.B. Tiller (Jason Butler Harner, The Changeling). Madsen and Soto reluctantly team with Agent Hauser and his technician, Lucy Banerjee (Parminder Nagra, ER), to stop Sylvane’s vengeful killing spree.

By delving into Alcatraz history, government cover-ups and Rebecca’s own heritage, the team will ultimately discover that Sylvane is only a small part of a much larger, more sinister present-day threat. For while he may be the first, it quickly becomes clear that Sylvane won’t be the last prisoner to reappear from Alcatraz.

Through the course of the investigation, Madsen and Soto will learn that Agent Hauser has known about the prison’s secret history and has been awaiting the prisoners’ return. Soto will witness his life’s work – the history of Alcatraz – come alive. Madsen will be forced to keep her supportive San Francisco cop fiance, Jimmy Dickens (Santiago Cabrera, Heroes), at arm’s length from the highly classified assignment as she sees everything she thought she knew about her family’s past shattered, all while fighting to keep the country safe from history’s most dangerous criminals.

When people watched first the trailer and read the synopsis many people thought that Alcatraz will be the new Lost. Will it be successful like Lost? Authorities think differently from each other. Some of them think that Alcatraz is not good like Lost and others think totally different. There are many ideas about Alcatraz.

We’ll just have to wait and see.

Alcatraz premieres on Fox Tv in 2012.

A band of kids, a camera, and a mysterious creature in small-town Ohio. These are the ingredients of J.J. Abrams new movie Super 8 which is soon in theaters after intense anticipation – not least because of the promising involvement of Steven Spielberg and the Amblin logo.

The movie itself was shrouded in mystery a few months ago, even rumored to be the sequel to Abrams’ Cloverfield. However, the story is happening in the summer of 1979 where a young boy and his movie-loving friends witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie. The inexplicable events that follow leads the kids and the local deputy to believe that something about the crash was far from normal – and as people start to disappear, fear spreads in the little community.

The previews have already raised expectations of a revisit to 70s and 80s flirtation with the “unknown” – movies such as Close Encounter of the Third Kind, E.T. and The Goonies, which all represent a variety of common family drama mixed with sci-fi and adventure, feel like the most likely points for comparison. No wonder either – considering the father of those classic movies is producing the coming feature.

In an interview to iamrogue.com, J.J. Abrams explains how the collaboration with Spielberg affected the direction of the movie. “If Spielberg had not been involved in the movie, it probably wouldn’t have happened and it certainly would have been different. I wouldn’t have felt as free to embrace that DNA, those qualities that I love, that I thought ‘well this movie should be an Amblin movie’, it should be a throwback to that time, to those kinds of films.”

When it comes to Steven Spielberg, the name seems to no longer refer to a person. The resonance of what the man has delivered to cinema throughout the decades will continue to make grown men quiver with excitement. J.J. Abrams on the other hand is not in that league just yet – depending on your taste, there has been hits and bloopers (the Star Trek re-boot turning out great while Mission: Impossible III… not so much) but generally, Abrams has spread his wings more as a producer than a director. With Super 8 though – best guess, it’s hard to turn down Spielberg when he asks for your seat.

Jokes aside, Abrams seems confident behind the camera and judging by the hype and the trailers – Super 8 may just be one of this summer’s biggest movie experiences. When a ten minute long clip of the movie was shown at this year’s Cannes Film Festival to a select audience, one Danish journalist from the newspaper Information was tripping over himself to express his excitement over the film. He even provided a frame-by-frame recap of the sequence which introduced the fragile relationship between Joe, our young protagonist, and his father, the local deputy, as they both struggle to communicate through the loss of their wife/mother 4 months earlier. The clip also included the fatal train collision and the first signs of the terror to come.

Safe to say, those handful of minutes sound promising. Super 8 is out this Friday June 10 in the US.
