The Most spectacular scenes of the movie were filmed with IMAX cameras (especially the scene where hunt climbs the skyscraper in Dubai), which enabled a picture to make whiter clear and colorful. By the way, Cruz himself was climbing on the skyscraper without using the backup (which is not surprising, because we all know that he always performs all the stunts that have become a peculiar hallmark of the franchise).

The Location filming is very diverse. They took place in Dubai, the Czech Republic and Canada. And though it is known that some scenes were shot in Moscow, but as for the key plot twists - they were taken not in Russia. For example, the building of the district court in mladá Boleslav (Czech Republic) turned into a prison from where he escaped the hunt. Pereulok Obukha, where Ethan got the job in an abandoned payphone, filmed in Vancouver. But as for filming in the Kremlin – Prague.

The Head of the film process was Brad bird, known for the productions of animated films “the Incredibles” and “Ratatouille”. The picture of the “Mission: impossible-Ghost Protocol” (the actors will be presented separately) was his debut as a film Director. Besides, the candidates for the Director's chair was Edgar Wright and Ruben Fleischer. Bird managed to make its own flavor to the project, which is very positive impact on the commercial success of the film – the fourth part of the franchise was most successful at the box office and the reviews from audience and critics.

“regime Change” in “Mission: impossible-Ghost Protocol”

Tom cruise has become a man whose name is synonymous to the popular spy franchise. That, however, is not surprising, because he is also the producer of all films in the series. But initially, after, to put it mildly, the modest success of the third “Mission”, the Studio responsible for the formulation and the success of films about the Hunt, going in the fourth film to pass the reins of the main stars of the project to another. However, with the advent of the project, Brad bird, everything changed. And, as practice showed, for the better.

History “humor”

After the involvement of new actors of significant processing undergone scenario. Now all the action revolved around not only lefties – the main characters are all members of the squad receiving an equal share of significance in the story. There are also more humor and irony. Although it would seem, where they come from in this film, as “Mission: impossible-Ghost Protocol”? Simon Pegg, who can say, “responsible” for the humor in the shot, could “revitalize” the film, which is reasonable, because it is a well-known British actor of the comic genre.

The Female part of a team

Appeared in this superspies of the company and the image of a woman that embodies Paula Patton (best known for her role in the acclaimed movie "Deja Vu” Tony Scott, as well as in a fantasy “Warcraft”). Due to its good physical training and Oriental appearance it really complements the spy team. And though the role does not reveal fully her artistic ability (which, in principle, for a film in this genre and not necessarily), feeling that the person is not in his place, no. And with the task Paula Patton didn't. Well prior to her role – it is, as stated above, has equal weight to the story, as well as other members of the squad.

Characters and actors are “beyond”

Opens a list of the “bad boys” of course, Cobalt, played by Swedish actor Michael Nyquist. He is also known for his work in such films as “the Girl with the dragon tattoo”, “John Wick”, “the Colony Dignidad”. The character of Michael is keen to change the balance of power to collapse the existing system.

Not without Russian scientist (Ivan Shvedov). After his family was taken hostage, he is forced to assist the Cobalt in the impending deal in Dubai. The cast in this film, we can say international. The role of the Russian characters were also invited Russian actors. Ivan the Swedes is one of them. He is known for the films “the Bourne Supremacy”, “bridge of spies”, “Simple things”. It can also be seen in the TV series “Children of Dune”, “Crossing the line”. And this is not all of his work. He is a voice actor.

Also, we should pay attention to one more assistant to a terrorist. More precisely, a helpmate. The role of a hired killer who is paid diamond, got the growing popularity of French actress Leah seydoux. The most famous of her works – Tarantino "Inglourious Basterds" and the acclaimed “the Life of Adele’. A few years later, after participating in “Mission” Leah became the ‘bond girl", played in the film by Sam Mendes “007: Range”.

The film “lit” and Indian movie star Anil Kapoor. A wide audience he is known for his role as a leading program in the film "Slumdog Millionaire”. Though it was not very much in the frame, still his character catches the eye (in a good way).

Bad good Russian

By the way, the film “Mission: impossible-Ghost Protocol” (the actors, as you already noticed, contains the most diverse) can boast of one more star of world renown – Vladimir Mashkov. The actor needs no special introduction, because it is very difficult to find a person who hasn't seen at least one film with his participation. His characters always come out bright and memorable. We will remind only that in his vast Arsenal of roles in such film, as “Thief”, “the Composition for Victory Day», «the State Counsellor" and so on. Also worthy of mention is his role of David Markovich Gotsman in series “Liquidation”. Besides, Vladimir Mashkov starred in Hollywood projects.

Having the role in “Mission”, he played the employee of the Russian security services, eager to find the perpetrators of the bombing of the Kremlin terrorists, which finds a squad of Ethan. Though the role has turned out not the most outstanding (as was intended in the script), but still bright. But in another way Mashkov and can't.

Unexpected success

As mentioned above, from the beginning thought that in this film, Ethan hunt “will give his powers” to a new character, and last but not least, the initiative came from the Tom cruise. The original version of the script, in the scene where the car with the hunt and the Prime Minister with the assistant falls into the river, hunt dies, and the fight with the terrorist enters William Brant (assistant Prime Minister). Thus, this will be a good restart of the franchise with a new main character. But, as mentioned above, with the advent of the project, new Director, everything changed.

At the premiere of “Mission: impossible-Ghost Protocol” (the actors, by the way, happy to be involved in the filming process), which was held on 7 December 2011, many were cautious. Someone thought that the draft has outlived its. Many thought that Cruz is already not suited to the role of a superspy. And to restart at all skeptical, because without the Hanta Cruz “Mission” will lose its character and charm (and rumour was crawling for a long time).

The Premiere was that is called, on hurrah. The picture is not simply managed-the movie “Mission: impossible-Ghost Protocol" (Jeremy Renner, gaining momentum and which was intended for the main character, has played a key role) became the highest grossing of the existing at that time “Missions”.

Isn't the end…

New life was breathed into the fourth film in the popular franchise “Mission: impossible” became the basis for later paintings. And Cruz along with Ethan hunt, too, was able to prove that their earlier “retirement”. In 2015 published the fifth picture called “Mission: impossible Rogue nation”, where the action of the story begins with a failed mission that hunt was at the end of “Protocol”. The movie was very interesting, but it is, as they say, is another story…
