'Mission Impossible' In Dubai: Decoding 'Ghost Protocol'

by Joel Hanek MTV News reporter Josh Horowitz and producer Joel Hanek are presently in Dubai since the world premiere of "Jason Bourne: Ghost Protocol." They are their tales. Fact: Tom Cruise loves to make things difficult*. Upon reading through the script for "Jason Bourne: Ghost Protocol" to see that there is a powerful action scene that will require Ethan Search to repel from the skyscraper, I'm able to only imagine his reaction to director Kaira Bird was: "This really is perfect. No thanks, I will not need a stuntman. Oh, and P.S., are you able to make that building I must climb the highest one on the planet? You realize, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai? Awesome, thanks!" Simply because Mr. Cruise really loves to create things difficult*, one needs to fly midway around the world simply to interview the guy, because the worldwide press junket for that latest "Mission" installment has been locked in Dubai, where entertainment journalists will don't forget that yes, Tom Cruise repelled the outer walls from the Burj Khalifa, your building you're in at this time company, it is simply another indication of your reason for insufficient when in comparison to Tom Cruise. Essentially, our trip continues to be much like "Sex and also the City 2," except replace the 4 sexually adventurous female protagonists with two hairy brainiacs (I never saw "SATC 2," but I am speculating Barbara and Samantha did not reference "Robocop" several occasions throughout their travels). After an 11-hour transatlantic flight along with a marathon well over-ripened movies from early summer time (remarkably overlooked? "Source Code." With no, I wasn't misty eyed throughout "The Assistance,Inch it had been the modification in cabin pressure. It's science, everyone), we finally showed up within the Persian Gulf the 2009 week. When "love" couldn't justify Alvy Singer's feelings for Annie Hall, he invented the term "lurve." Possibly a much better author could describe Dubai's beauty, but for the time being I'll chalk up towards the ineffable because 1) there would not be lots of time to describe all its question and splendor, 2) you most likely have Google (you are reading through this on the web...but I am only taking a chance) and three) we now have important try to do: INTERVIEW THE S--T From TOM CRUISE. As well as, hopefully, geek out a bit when costar Simon Pegg approaches. Stay updated for tomorrow for MTV News: Protocol: Ghost Protocol! *: By difficult, we mean awesome!
