WEB DESK – Hollywood star Tom Cruise says the next instalment of the ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise will be ‘’really wild’’.

The 54-year-old Hollywood star is reprising the role of Ethan Hunt in the sixth instalment of the franchise and the actor has revealed they have already started shooting some scenes in Paris.

Speaking on The Graham Norton Show, he said: ‘’It is really crazy. We’ve shot some of the stuff in Paris already and it is going to be really wild and thrilling for the audience.

‘’There is always another mountain. I have been in training for a couple of years and we’ve done a lot for testing to see what is possible.’’

‘Supergirl’ star Frederick Schmidt has been announced as the latest cast member of the action franchise with director Christopher McQuarrie returning to the film as well.

McQuarrie is producing alongside Tom, Frederick, Don Granger, J.J. Abrams and David Ellison and Dana Goldberg from Skydance Productions.

However, Jeremy Renner will not be reprising his role as IMF Field Operations Director William Brandt due to a scheduling clash with ‘Avengers: Infinity War’, in which he will be playing Hawkeye again.

The 46-year-old actor – who was in 2015’s ‘Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation’, the fifth in the franchise – had been in talks about a return, but a scheduling conflict with the Marvel Cinematic Universe film means he cannot return to the role of William Brandt.

Big screen Superman Henry Cavill has also been added to the star-studded cast for ‘Mission: Impossible 6’.

Cavill’s appearance in the movie was revealed during an Instagram exchange shared by director McQuarrie.

Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Alec Baldwin and Sean Harris are all returning for the next installment of the franchise.

The film is scheduled for release in July 2018.

Lahore – The most anticipated feature film of this year, Project Ghazi, is all set to release on July 14, 2017 nationwide.
Project Ghazi is Pakistan’s first Super Hero feature film, starring Sheheryar Munawar, Humayun Saeed, Syra Shahroze, Talat Hussain, Amir Qureshi, Nusrat Hidayatullah and Adnan Jaffer. Project Ghazi promises to enthrall audiences with its visuals, actions, visual effects and overall Hollywood style aesthetics.
The film also features a super villain, Qataan (played by Adnan Jaffer) who has already invoked a lot of attention on social media.
“In Pakistan, we need to make films that explore new genres while still being engaging for the audience. Super hero films are the equivalent of modern day mythologies, and can be a source for innovative stories. Working in feature films has been a long standing goal and I am working hard to create something unique.” shares Nadir Shah who has directed Project Ghazi.
“Most of the films being produced in Pakistan are Bollywood inspired rom-coms, I wanted to move away from that and produce a film in a genre largely ignored by the Pakistani cinema.  I wanted to give our audiences a taste of films closer to Hollywood with Pakistani talent”, comments Syed Mohammed Ali Raza, Producer and co-writer of Project Ghazi.
So lock the date and be sure to grab your tickets in advance to be a part of this experience. Project Ghazi will be hitting cinema screens across Pakistan on 14th July, 2017, and is distributed by Distribution Club.
