New Mission Impossible: Fallout Trailer Delivers Insane Stunts

The new trailer for Mission Impossible: Fallout is here. This is the second promo for the sixth movie in the long-running action franchise, which sees Tom Cruise return as Ethan Hunt and hits theaters in July.

While the first trailer was more concerned with the action, this new one delivers a healthy dose of plot too. It reveals that Hunt will have two advisories –Sean Harris’s villainous Solomon Lane, who we last saw in 2015’s Rogue Nation, and CIA assassin August Walker. He’s played by Superman star Henry Cavill, who is sporting his notorious mustache. It’s not short on action either, with some incredible looking stunts, including an insane-looking skydive and the very moment where Cruise broke his ankle while shooting. Check it out below:

Mission Impossible: Fallout alsostars Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Angela Bassett, and Alec Baldwin. It’s directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who previously helmed 2015’s Ghost Protocol. It hits theaters on July 27.

Despite the crazy-looking action, McQuarrie has previously stated that Fallout will be more character-based than some previous entries. “I don’t want to string together a bunch of action scenes, I want to actually deal with character,” he told Empire. “So I put Ethan in a bunch of complicated moral quandaries, and I’m trying to find ways to connect them–and then, ironically, the way to connect them was through giant action scenes.”

Metro Exodus Delayed For PS4, Xbox One, PC

Metro Exodus, the third game in the survival/horror/stealth/shooter series and the first to feature a more expansive world, has been delayed. The PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC game was originally due to launch this year, but it’s now coming in Q1 2019, according to a press release from THQ Nordic. That works out to sometime in the January-March 2019 window.

In its press release, THQ Nordic did not provide a rationale or explanation for why the game was delayed.

Like the previous Metro games, Exodus stars Artyom, who is fleeing the ruins of the Moscow Metro with a band of survivors. Publisher Deep Silver says the game will be a “sandbox survival experience,” with players exploring large, non-linear levels in a story that spans an entire year.

Exodus was announced during E3 2017 with a trailer that showed Artyom in a collapsed tunnel filled with skeletons. He then walked out into the open and fought a mutated rat beast. A follow-up trailer released during The Video game Awards in December 2017 showed even more mutated creatures and inhospitable environments (you can watch it again above).

The first Metro game, Metro 2033, came out in 2010. The most recent entry in the series was 2013’s Metro: Last Light, so it’s been a long time coming for a new game. The franchise was created and is developed by 4A Games, based on the works of Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky.

Borderlands 3 E3 Speculation Potentially Shut Down

Gearbox Software CEO and co-founder Randy Pitchford has seemingly closed the door on the possibility of Borderlands 3 appearing at E3 2018.

In a string of tweets, Pitchford, a well-documented magic enthusiast, laid the groundwork for the implication that Borderlands 3 will skip E3 with a magic-related metaphor. He described a performer who practices feats both real (“like hammer a nail into his face”) and fake (like a magic trick). “

once said (paraphrased), ‘When I make something vanish (which is a magic trick, and fake), people will swear that it is real. But when I eat a light bulb (which is not magic, and is real) people will swear that it is fake — a trick,’” said Pitchford.
