Some Interesting News on MI: 3

carnahan.jpgSpotted some interesting news on the upcoming Mission Impossible 3 … Kenneth Branagh and Scarlett Johannson have both been added to the cast (along with returning actors Tom Cruise and Ving Rhames) which means if nothing else this thing’ll have some decent acting punch … but somehow I’m thinking that this is going to have a bit more kick to it then that ’cause somewhere along the line Joe Carnahan got hired to direct it without my noticing … For those who don’t know Carnahan was the man behind the grimy, harsh, amoral and completely stellar crime pic Narc which was shot on the cheap here in Toronto. Narc was so low budget, in fact, that Carnahan couldn’t even afford to print up dailies to review his work meaning he was essentially shooting completely blind – not knowing if he was even getting usable film. Three things that Narc should tell you about this man:

1. He’s got a set of stones on him. Anybody that has the nerve to shoot film blindly has got an awful lot of confidence in his own abilities.
2. He’s got the goods to back that confidence up. Narc looks amazing. This man knows his way around a camera.
3. He knows how to get the most out of his performers. Hands down the most impressive performances yet from Jason Patric and Ray Liotta. Actually, this is the only time I’ve EVER liked Patric in a film and Liotta is simply stunning.

Suddenly I’m quite looking forward to this film …
