'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' Photo: Tom Cruise Goes Rogue

Tom Cruise is on another impossible mission to try to look any more recognizable than he does in the latest still from "Ghost Protocol." Unless you've been living under a rock for the last 15 years, you know Tom Cruise stars in this franchise. And unless you're a really bad criminal mastermind, you probably know what Agent Ethan Hunt looks like. Still, Cruise looks like he's trying to be a bit covert as what appears to be Russia burns to the ground behind him. The movie follows Hunt as he and his team are forced to go on the run after they are framed for a massive attack on Russia. With the burning destruction behind him and Cruise doing his best attempt at being incognito, we like the way the image plays around with this premise. When MTV talked to producer J.J. Abrams in May, he said that he's looking forward to Bird's take on action sequences considering he's never directed a live action flick before. "It's so weird to watch scenes for a movie by a director that feels so of that director's style, and yet you realize you've never ever seen a live-action film by that director," he said. "You watch moments where you go, 'That's so Brad Bird!' And then you realize, oh, it's so weird to have seen a Brad Bird moment with actual flesh and blood actors.'" "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol" hits theaters on December 21, 2011. Are you looking forward to "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol"? Tell us in the comments section below or on Twitter!

Eddie Murphy has been cast as the voice of Hong Kong Phooey in a big screen version of Hanna-Barbera's animated TV series.Directed by Alex Zamm (Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts), the film will mix live action with animation.Already well known as the voice of Donkey in the Shrek series of films, Murphy will play Penry, a mild-mannered dog who accidentally gains mystical powers. Transforming into Hong Kong Phooey, he fights crime with the help of a feline sidekick called Spot."We could not be happier that Eddie Murphy will star as Phooey. There is no overstating his contributions to cinema, and to such enduring stars of family entertainments such as Shrek and Dr. Dolittle," said producers Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson.So much for the return to Eddie's fast-talking, wise-cracking days that we hoped would be sparked by the upcoming Tower Heist.
