Paramount released the trailer for Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One today after it had leaked out over the weekend.
The trailer for the seventh film in the M:I series starring Tom Cruise contains some homages to James Bond films such as:
–Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt driving a car with its doors knocked off, similar to Daniel Craig’s Bond in Quantum of Solace.
–Cruise/Hunt driving a small yellow car in a chase, similar to Roger Moore’s Bond driving an extremely small car in a chase in For Your Eyes Only.
–A fight on top of a train, with the participants having to duck when approaching tunnels, a la Octopussy.
–Cruise/Hunt riding a motorcycle off a cliff similar to Pierce Brosnan’s Bond in GoldenEye.
The trailer has some striking images, including an Osprey aircraft in flight and a train locomotive going off a cliff.
Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One is scheduled for release next year, with the following installment coming out in 2024. Originally, the two movies were to have been filmed back-to-back. That was before delays related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The trailer is below.
