'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' Photo: Tom Cruise Goes Rogue

Tom Cruise is on another impossible mission to try to look any more recognizable than he does in the latest still from "Ghost Protocol." Unless you've been living under a rock for the last 15 years, you know Tom Cruise stars in this franchise. And unless you're a really bad criminal mastermind, you probably know what Agent Ethan Hunt looks like. Still, Cruise looks like he's trying to be a bit covert as what appears to be Russia burns to the ground behind him. The movie follows Hunt as he and his team are forced to go on the run after they are framed for a massive attack on Russia. With the burning destruction behind him and Cruise doing his best attempt at being incognito, we like the way the image plays around with this premise. When MTV talked to producer J.J. Abrams in May, he said that he's looking forward to Bird's take on action sequences considering he's never directed a live action flick before. "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," he said. "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.'"
