The action star is in top form in his latest movieMission: Impossible – Rogue Nation – where he is being praised by fans and critics alike for his gravity-defying stunts. The film’s official plot synopsis teases: “With the International Monetary Fund now disbanded and Ethan Hunt (Cruise) out in the cold, a new threat – called the Syndicate – soon emerges”.

There’s some interesting talk in the cleverly satisfying script of “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” about the element of luck. We’re starting to work on [the sixth] now. We’ll probably start shooting next summer.

Mission: ImpossibleRogue Nation” opens this week, but with positive reviews being raked in, Tom Cruise and the rest of the team have pushed on to getting started on ‘Mission: Impossible 6.’.

It seems that won’t be case with Michigan: 6, though.

This weekend is definitely looking like a great time to hit up your local movie theaters!

Director/writer Christopher McQuarrie (who directed Cruise in “Jack Reacher”, and shares story credit here with Drew Pearce) is good at digging in at street level in the exotic locales, an itinerary includes Havana, Paris, Vienna, Casablanca and London. I was like “Emily, please”.

“Growing up, ever since I was four years old, I wanted to make movies and travel around the world”. That would give us an early indication of where “Rogue Nation” is heading. McQuarrie admitted that he found evil to be a “really tough concept” to get his mind around as he always believed the idea of a villain that is evil just to be evil rather “absurd”.

Meanwhile, the fifth installment follows another impossible mission taken on by Ethan Hunt (Cruise) who is one day notified that his organization Impossible Mission Force (IMF) has been dissolved by the Central Intelligence Agency.

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation is climbing, dashing, jumping and careening into our cinemas, but Tom Cruise already has his eyes on the next M:I prize. Released in 2001, Ghost Protocol raked in $603 million globally, making it the highest-grossing film of Cruise’s career.

While the trailers for the film managed to balance Ferguson’s sex appeal and ass-kicking abilities, when it came to the one-sheets, she got treated quite differently, as co-star Simon Pegg noticed.
