JJ Abrams
JJ Abrams has described Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol as the best movie of the franchise so far.
Abrams has put his producing hat on once more for the latest Mission Impossible instalment as Brad Bird is in the director's chair.
Talking to Collider the actor said: "I think it’s the best one of the series. I do. First of all, you’ve never seen a live action Brad Bird movie, and yet when you watch it, you go, 'This is a Brad Bird movie.'
"You realize you’ve been watching Brad Bird films that just happen to be animated. It’s really fun.
"It’s got a fun intensity to it, and that’s Brad. It’s the biggest one, by far, in terms of the stuff that happens in it.
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol sees Tom Cruise reprise the role of Ethan Hawke while Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames and Josh Holloway are also all on the cast list.
This week sees a return to the big screen for Abrams with his new movie Super 8 - the first since Star Trek back in 2009.
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is released 26th December.
