I’ll be catching Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning in Cannes on Wednesday, 5.14…16 days hence**. I’ve just watched the M:I meets IMAX short featurette, but I’m from Missouri. As with Fallout, I’m presuming that MI:8 only detours into IMAX for two or three segments…right?

I would love it if THE WHOLE THING could be shown in proper IMAX (huge boxy screen, 1.43:1), but I’m guessing it won’t be.

I’ve asked a good source how many scenes were shot in IMAX, and whether or not they’ll be projected in 1.43:1 or at least something with much more height than the aspect ratio typically provided by 1.85 or 2.39. I’ve also asked what percentage of the total film was shot in the usual digital whatever?

Cruise latest squeeze is Ana de Armas, 36. They’ve allegedly been happening since last February.

The Los Angeles and NYC all-media screenings of M:I-8 are happening two days before the Cannes screening — Monday, 5.12 at 7pm. All SOCIAL MEDIA REACTIONS are embargoed until MONDAY, MAY 12TH at 10:00 PM Pacific / TUESDAY, MAY 13TH at 1:00 AM Eastern.
