The world premiere of Mission Impossible 4 is likely to take place at Dubai International Film Festival, BroadcastPro Middle East has learnt. Sources claim the deal has already been signed between Paramount and local authorities.
Also known as Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, the films trailer features lead actor Tom Cruise scaling the Burj Khalifa.
Parts of the film were shot in different locations around Dubai last year including the International Media Production Zone (IMPZ) and production was facilitated by Dubai-based production house Filmworks.
DIFF managing director Shivani Pandya told BroadcastPro ME it was too early to confirm the news.
“The DIFF2011 line-up is at a very early stage; we are still open for entries until the end of August. The unveiling of our programme will begin in October; until that time, we cannot confirm the involvement of any film. DIFF has an eight-year tradition of premiering the worlds best and brightest films – we will continue to do that this year.
“To have a film of such magnitude as MI:4/ Ghost Protocol linked to the UAE is a wonderful opportunity for Dubai, the UAE and the Arab world as a whole. It’s an opportunity for the rest of the world to not only see our amazing city and its world-class infrastructure, its people and its quality of living, but also to see the contemporary, successful, diverse and exciting Arab world. Dubai and the UAE are the Mission: Possible’ of the Arab world, so its particularly fitting that the Mission Impossible franchise is linked to it.”
