One would be forgiven for thinking a movie called Annihilation sounds a little too close for comfort to a cataclysmic retread in the vein of Batman v. Superman. And if someone told you that all signs currently point to Oscar Isaac joining the cast, you’d politely let them know that they must be thinking of the also very loud sounding X-Men: Apocalypse, where he’ll join fellow motion captors and prosthetic prisoners Lupita Nyong’o, Josh Brolin, and Idris Elba in what sounds like the cell to be! in franchise jail. But no earplugs necessary, just your rapt attention, because Annihilation is writer/director Alex Garland’s follow-up feature to Ex Machina and a rousing science fiction thriller by the sound of it. Per Variety - not only is Isaac set to partner up for another dance with the director but join what is already shaping up to be...

Who needs a stunt man anyway? In the 19 years since Tom Cruise debuted as Ethan Hunt in the first Mission: Impossible, he's made a name for himself as one of Hollywood's biggest in-real-life daredevils.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to re-live these incredible Mission: Impossible stunt moments performed by Cruise himself.
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation review: Tom Cruise's spy series in need of rejuvenation
1. The Langley break-in - Mission: Impossible (1996)
Brian De Palma brought his customary directorial flair to the inaugural Mission, and the film's stand-out sequence saw Hunt and co infiltrate CIA headquarters via a precariously dangling wire.
Cruise did all this himself, even dropping coins into his shoes to level out his body. You can cut the tension with a knife.
2. Runaway train - Mission: Impossible (1996)
Mission's climax saw Hunt climb atop a train careening through the Channel Tunnel then taking down...

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation
Notable: Tom Cruise performed the sequence where Ethan Hunt climbs on the outside of a flying Airbus A400M without the use of special effects or a stunt double.
I’ve seen every Mission movie thus far and really haven’t been let down at all. Sure looking back on John Woo’s Mi:ii it’s a little more ridiculous than the rest, but looking at the franchise you can see that each new release has to top the last, and the genius maniac that is Tom Cruise manages to put it all together. This should be a great time in theaters and deserves at least some recognition for its restraint on special effects.

Like his old pal and collaborator Bryan Singer, Christopher McQuarrie is one of the current breed of filmmakers who has embraced social media as a way to clear up details about their work and interact directly with interested audience members. With Mission: Impossible 5 speeding towards us this year, McQuarrie carved some time out of his busy schedule to run an impromptu Q&A on the social media platform, talking about everything from speculation about the ending to the tone of the film.Asked about the big finale for the film, which had been rumoured as rewritten and reshot, McQuarrie replied, “No. We had to prep it. Shooting it now.” But he also added, “I'm not ashamed to admit many writers have helped on this movie. Directing takes up all my time."With regards to the film’s tone, he explained that while he and the team were aiming for...
