Unless I'm misjudging the images I've seen, the vibe I'm getting is:
A small homage to the first movie’s climax, perhaps? History repeats itself!
Combine that with Kittridge's return and I do believe so!
Yes I saw he rates The Train very highly, which I only saw recently for the first time and is a real cracker.
Yes I'd forgotten, when I was watching it there were a couple of things Lancaster does in that film which were really pretty dangerous. At one point he runs alongside a moving train and jumps onto it: if you get that wrong that could end very badly!
We don't, sadly. McQuarrie has been sprinkling out BTS shots and random images here and there, I'm sure we'll get a proper title, teaser and everything else before the year ends.
Mission: Impossible
Mission: Impossible 2
Mission: Impossible III
then the next three had names:
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation
Mission: Impossible - Fallout
At this point, as my exceedingly lame joke at the top of this post shows, coming up with a name might be the impossible mission, so maybe they follow the numbers sequencing (3 with numbers, 3 with names, and now...) and go back to numerical designations. I hope not, though. They started out excellently with the first one, dipped quite low with the John Woo indulgence-fest in "2", and started out very strong again with III. The named ones have just gotten better and better.
I think it's more intriguing with a title myself
PS one fan on twitter mentioned the idea of a character having a mask from the beginning of the movie and only revealing it much later on in the movie. This offers some huge plot twists and possibilities. Also, am I right that, so far, only male charaters have used the mask trick?
Yeah that's a cool idea mate
At the start of MI3 that random woman had a mask of Ethan's wife on. Amazing start to that movie by the way
Yeah I quite like the titles. I always mix up Rogue Nation and Ghost Protocol though because their names are so similar! :D Fallout is nice and punchy.
I actually very much agree with you on this one, though I would say that Rogue Nation isn't too far behind the first in terms of having an intriguing plot with good characters.
Fallout was able to get away with being an action extravaganza as it was bringing things back and tying them together (in a very good way, I feel) rather than trying something new for the most part. The next one will likely be a different kind of film again.
It's not the same circumstances, of course, but they came up with the Paris motorbike chase pretty much on the fly in the last one. So the action can always be tweaked, even late in the day.
I think he has confidence in his own abilities: he's very adept at connecting dots and finding satisfying reasons for them. He never has a finished script before he starts shooting these and doesn't even write the scenes before he's found good locations to set them in. Sounds kind of crazy to me but it works for him.
That's an impressive enough stunt on its own, really! I certainly can't jump a motorbike that high :D

I love that film! Watch it every year at least once.
I also love it. Damn good entertainment.
