New 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' Clip With Sandstorm Action

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is just a few days away from its release on IMAX screens, after which it will hit normal-sized theaters on December 21st.  As such, Paramount is saturating the market with Ghost Protocol promotion, including a brand new three-minute clip that consists exclusively of action, as Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt pursues some random dude into a sandstorm sweeping through Dubai.  The whole thing is set to a score by Michael Giacchino that doesn't hold back on the bongo fury.

If you want to stay fresh, avoid the clip, as it is basically the whole sequence, including no less than three instances where Hunt comes within a few feet of a horrible death or disfigurement at the very least.  Adding up all the times that Ethan has saved himself from being killed or maimed since this movie franchise began with Brian De Palma's Mission: Impossible in 1996, we can only conclude that the IMF agent carries the world's most potent rabbit's foot.*

ComingSoon provided the video embed, but again, don't watch unless you're okay with spoiling the whole little sandstorm sequence.

Contrary to what much of the film's marketing would have you believe, Ghost Protocol does not consist entirely of Cruise crawling around on the Burj Khalifa or running towards/away from stuff.  The Brad Bird-directed sequel also includes an IMF team played by Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton, and Simon Pegg, along with a supporting cast of players including Ving Rhames, Lea Seydoux, Josh Holloway, Michel Nyqvist, and Anil Kapoor.

If you have yet to pick up tickets to an IMAX screening this Friday, you might want to consult this list of 70mm screens showing The Dark Knight Rises prologue before Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol starting on December 16th.

*I just remembered that the MacGuffin in Mission: Impossible III was a mysterious object called the Rabbit's Foot.  I was referring to an actual rabbit's foot.  Like from a rabbit.
