Like the spies they can portray, filmmakers are all about making the impossible seem easy, almost magical, doing all their obsessive labor in secret. A lot of work went into the making of the Mission: Impossible films, which might make up the most dangerous blockbuster franchise of this century, at least if you’re Tom Cruise, who takes bigger and bigger physical risks with every instalment.
The fifth of those, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation has just hit cinemas to surprisingly great critical reception (well over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes) and robust ticket sales (at last report, it was on its way to a $50 million weekend). With that sort of reaction, the sixth – which was already tentatively heading into production – is an inevitability, presumably to the dismay of Cruise’s insurance company.
Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.
