thriller

today announced that the company will create a free-to-play mobile
game under license from Paramount Pictures in coordination with the

Nation. Designed and developed in close creative collaboration with
the filmmakers at Skydance Productions, Glu’s game will deliver the
action of the Mission: Impossible franchise to mobile audiences

terrorist attacks. Ethan gathers his team and joins forces with
disavowed British agent Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), who may or
may not be a member of this rogue nation, as the group faces their
most impossible mission yet. Starring Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner,
Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, Sean Harris and Alec
Baldwin.
The film is directed by Christopher McQuarrie, with a screenplay
by Christopher McQuarrie and story by Christopher McQuarrie and
