‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’ Weighs Cannes Film Festival Debut


The Cannes Film Festival is expected to roll the red carpet for 'Mission: Impossible -- The Final Reckoning' which is weighing a Croisette bow.

Though no decision has been made, “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning” is weighing a Cannes Film Festival bow, which could see Tom Cruise injecting some serious star power into the event. Some other American filmmakers also strongly tipped for to bring their latest pics to the glamorous festival, notably Spike Lee’s highly anticipated “High And Low” starring Denzel Washington, from A24 and AppleTV+; Wes Anderson’s “The Phoenician Scheme,” starring an impressive cast (as always with Anderson’s movies) including Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Riz Ahmed, Mathieu Amalric, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Richard Ayoade, Rupert Friend, Hope Davis, and Benedict Cumberbatch, from Focus and Universal Pictures; Richard Linklater’s “Nouvelle Vague,” about the production of Jean-Luc Godards’s cult film “Breathless,” from Paris-based ARP; and Jim Jarmusch’s “Father Mother Sister Brother,” starring Adam Driver, Cate Blanchett, Mayim Bialik, Tom Waits and Charlotte Rampling, from Mubi. The latest one world premiered three of the awards season’s buzziest films, including a trio of best picture contenders: Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or winning “Anora,” Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Perez” and Coralie Fargeat’s “The Substance.” However, more commercial movies don’t always benefit from a Cannes launch.
