Although many details about the plot are still under wraps - and will remain so until the film is released - enough information has been made public to warrant an expansion of this article. I've added an infobox and the first - and only - officially released publicty shot.

Some of the details are speculative, but this is an article about a movie, not Palestine. People coming to visit this page expect more than a few guarded comments. Of course, if anyone has any more information to add, go ahead. As the film's release approaches, the article will take shape. But until then, I think this article could be at least as long as the Casino Royale (2006 film) page, which is also full of conjecture. Scott197827. 10/10/05.

Regarding Scarlett Johansson: as far as I know (which is not much since the film hasn't been released yet) Johannson was asked to play the lead female character, the part I'm pretty sure is now played by Michelle Monaghan (a new article on imdb.com says she's Cruise's kickboxing new co-star). Lindsay Lohan was also suggested for the part. Keri Russell, I think, is playing the secondary female role, that vacated by Carrie-Anne Moss. Moss would not say what the part was, but I think it may be a baddie/villainess. I'll move the information to the other almost-cast actors. user: Scott197827 10/14/05

According to IMDB, Johannson was originally casted for the Keri Russle role. As for Moss' role, it was completely removed from the script after Abrams took over. Kenimaru 23:18, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

jj abrams may have made a better MI movie then john woo, but that ain't saying much. j j borrows heavily from true lies and his own tv series alias. The film may not have the sophisticated visuals of brian de palma's MI movie but has more a personality driven film with moments of humour. The first two MI movies were very much mechanical exercises in filmmaking that didn't breathe life in their clumsy narratives. jj delivers a preposterous plot that has a mcguffin that is never fully explained to the audience. The tv show from the 60's was a fantasy playground of spies caught in convoluted spy scenarios in a surreal manner. JJ's film hints at that fantasy playground of spies that the first two films failed to successfully capture. With number 3 in the franchise audience would have expected an MI film that rockets out of the gate. This film at times promises such a proposition but fails to get to the finishing line with a fluffy ending. I'm beginning to wonder on the script j j abandoned to come up with his own interpretation. A script to have been directed by DAVID FINCHER! HARRY GEORGATOS

[edit] Major Article Edit

I FINALLY got to see this film (spectacular, by the way), and was reading the article and found not only a slew of ugly grammatical errors, but quite a few plot mistakes. I fixed the plot mistakes I found, and tried to edit the article a bit to make it flow better. It was redundant in some places, choppy in others, and a little awkward–feeling in a few more spots. If something doesn't work or is innaccurate, feel free to fix it, I'm just giving everyone a heads up!

[edit] rabbits foot reaching shanghai

How does the rabbits foot reach shanghai after the Chesapeake Bay bridge scene???

The rabbits foot were always in Shanghai. The briefcase doesn't contain it. Kenimaru 23:16, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bridge soldiers

Anyone know why the soldiers on the Chesapeake Bay bridge scene were speaking German? I'm confused. Battle Ape 09:55, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Because Davian's men were form germany,and came from germany to save him in america

This is a discussion page for a Wikipedia article, not a movie forum. If you're the kind of person who pays money to see a movie not with the intention of enjoying it, but instead picking apart and criticising every single aspect of it, I would suggest www.imdb.com. Battle Ape 10:25, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Ill delete this part a bit later

I'm struggling to discover why people actually liked this movie. Myself, I liked it better when it was called "True Lies".

What did I just say? Battle Ape 10:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Filming Locations

• "Location filming took place in Berlin, Italy, Shanghai, Xitang, Virginia, and California" is rather inconsistent. Someone should change it so that all the places named are cities, or provinces/states or countries. Because switching from nation to city to province to state is maddening. Just go with "Germany, Italy, China and USA." --WongFeiHung 05:17, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

The statement on location filming is correct. Who says there must be consistency? The information is meaningful. It is regrettable if this style induces madness in you. Wikismile 15:17, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

How much did this film make worldwide?

[edit] Does the review section strike you as somewhat, well, VERY biased?!

I mean MI:III got a bathing by critics, made approx. $30 million less in opening weekend (adjusted for inflation) than MI(1) and was written off as a disaster by media everywhere... and that doesn't even get a meantion? C'mon. I'd like feedback as it seems like I may have to add some alternative perspectives - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 16:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree. It reads like promo material. I think the article would be strengthened by more diverse comments. Also, the "reaction" section focusses on how much money the film made, which is worth including but only in the context of (non-financial) reaction to the film (e.g. were there "2 thumbs" up or down?) Hu Gadarn 15:36, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What a waste to blow a super nice car!

Did you guys think they really blowed up that Lamborghini?

They blowed it up good. PS - try to use the signature when you leave comments. Thanks Hu Gadarn 15:09, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it's anti-human. But it's funny to discuss it here.--Mato Rei 18:36, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Can you say where the villian came from without revealing the plot?

I am tired of IMF encountering only rogue agents. How about something like Hezbollah or Al-Qaeda for a change.--Will 19:01, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

How about nobody cares, the whole point of IMF is counter-intelligence, running around in secret while other guys are running around in secret. Though we're all happy you want to see some terrorists kick but, that's not what Mission: Impossible is about. Sorry. Watemon 12:12, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Hezbollah are not a type of terrorist group, no one IMF would encounter.

[edit] Netherlands Box Office?

Would i be the only one wondering why the Netherlands box office has a mention. Does this seem out of place to anyone else?Jabbathenut 08:44, 11 August 2006 (AST)

[edit] "Berlin security"

I removed the following line from the "Trivia section":

"When Ethan Hunt's team rescued him in Shangai, Declan said "Get in they're coming...Berlin security and they're pissed." Shouldn't it be Shangai security?"

He said building security, not "Berlin" security. 220.235.11.48 10:10, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mission: Impossible IV?

How can we address the possible 4th film in the series? Reports that came out today say that Paramount is ready to offer the lead to Brad Pitt.

[edit] mission impossible backlash

[edit] Music from N64 game?

I don't know if any of you have noticed, but I swear I heard the music from the first level of the Mission Impossible game that came out for the N64. Am I the only one that notices.
