During the day Monday, we got some news from Paramount.
“Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 2” is no more. Since Part 1 was a box office disappointment, several things will happen.
The 8th chapter of the franchise will move to May 2025 from next June.
The movie will get a new title to separate it from “Dead Reckoning.” It’s unclear if the ‘Part 1″ will be removed somehow from all prints since there will not be a part 2.
The movie will be reworked, but still pick up from the end of Part 1.
Frankly, it was just too much Tom Cruise after the massive hit of “Top Gun Maverick.” We had Cruise over saturation. Also, “Dead Reckoning” sort of fell apart as it crawled to its conclusion. There was a whole “AI” part no one understood.
Well, by 2025 Cruise will be in demand again, no doubt, and life will proceed.
