Sneak peek: Tom Cruise wings new 'Mission' Normal airline passenger boarding isn't good enough for Tom Cruise anymore. Cruise just wings it as he steps back into the role of superspy Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation.
"I've often sat on airplanes, looked out and thought, 'What it would be like out there on the wing?' " says Cruise. "This is the (stuff) I think about."
Being Tom Cruise in the fifth chapter of the high-octane Mission: Impossible franchise (in theaters July 31), the situation only gets more intense. Amazingly, Cruise strapped himself to an Airbus A400 for a stunt that put the Hollywood superstar outside the plane during takeoff and landing.
"That's me the whole time. I was standing right over the tires when we landed," says Cruise, 52, proudly. "It's nerve-racking for everyone else, but pretty exciting for me."
"We knew anything we did was going to be compared with the Burj. But it's not like you could wait for someone to build an even taller building," says director Christopher McQuarrie. "We keep pushing the envelope."

'Mission' tests new recruit Rebecca Ferguson Rebecca Ferguson's first day of work on Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation was pretty standard — you know, rappelling 100 feet from the roof of the Vienna Opera House with her legs wrapped around Tom Cruise.
"And it really just escalated from there," says the 31-year-old Swedish actress, who joins the fifth installment of the adrenaline-fueled Mission franchise as lethal agent Ilsa Faust. "They didn't tell me a lot about what I'd be doing. But knowing it was a Mission movie, I pretty much knew what would be expected."
This kind of action should have been a problem for someone with a perfectly normal fear of heights and extreme-speed car chases. In Rogue Nation (opening July 31), Ferguson took on underwater stunts and a solo 120-foot free fall — a shot she had to do 10 times.
"That's immensely scary, especially if you're scared of heights," says Ferguson. "But Tom Cruise is like walking cognitive therapy. I had vertigo, I had claustrophobia. I don't really anymore. You put yourself in these situations where you just do it. I realized I had this bit of me where I could push myself over the edge." Read the Rest of the Article at the SOURCE . . .

Tom Cruise - Mission: Impossible 5 Plane Scene ‘The Most Dangerous Thing I’ve Ever Done’ The scene in question, which can be seen at the end of the brand new trailer, sees his character Ethan Hunt strapped to the side of an Airbus A400M plane as it takes off… and Cruise was doing it for real.
We spoke to the 52-year-old star, along with director Christopher McQuarrie, in depth about the mind-blowing stunt.
How did the stunt come about?
Tom Cruise: “I knew I wanted to have an airplane sequence. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. As a kid I remember flying on an airplane and thinking: ‘what would it be like out on the wing or on the side of the airplane?!’”
Christopher McQuarrie: “We knew we needed a stunt. The bar had been raised to such a point [with the Burj Khalifa scene in ‘Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol’, see below] that the expectations was so high. We kept looking for a location. Unfortunately when you’ve climbed the tallest building in the world you cant have an action sequence on the second tallest building in the world! So any skyscraper was out.
“So we came up with two incredibly physically punishing things for Tom to do and we ended up using both in the film. The first is the Airbus A400M scene, the second has only been fleetingly alluded to in the trailer. Read the rest at the SOURCE . . .

Tom Cruise held his breath for HOW long? You thought Tom Cruise couldn’t possibly out-do his Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation A400 plane stunt, featuring Cruise literally hanging from the plane as it took off. Well, the latest M:I 5 trailer goes deep, with an intense underwater scene. It’s something the adrenalin junkie Cruise has always wanted to do. Cruise told USA TODAY that he worked extensively for the underwater scene shot without a cut, training to have underwater breath holds of 6 to 6 1/2 minutes.Says Cruise: Read the rest . . .
