Film Trailer for Brad Bird's Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol
Posted by Erik Henriksen on Wed, Jun 29, 2011 at 9:58 AM
Brad Bird is the guy behind Ratatouille, The Incredibles, The Iron Giant, and not one but two Krusty-centric Simpsons episodes.
Fun fact: All of those amazing things are animated, unlike his new movie, Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol, which not only has to follow J.J. Abrams' Mission: Impossible III—so far the best in the series—but uh, totally isn't a cartoon. So we'll see how this goes. But Bird's a genius, so I'm fairly optimistic he'll pull this off. Plus, whoever decided to put Simon Pegg and Jeremy Renner in the same movie? I want to give you a hug.
I hope that the impossible mission is figuring out how to fit more punctuation marks into that title.
