New Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning trailer shows off insane Tom Cruise stunts in the movie

Tom Cruise has done it again. And again. And once more. And it probably won’t be the last time that he risks his life to achieve the best scenes for one of his favorite series: Mission Impossible. So much so that Paramount Pictures has shared a new making-of trailer in which we see good old Tom paragliding surrounded by cameras, thus achieving one of the riskiest and most spectacular sequences in the actor’s already long career. This is how they filmed the so called “Speedflying” scene for Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning - Part 1.

Tom Cruise and his riskiest scenes

Thus, after the famous motorcycle jump off a cliff, we now see how Tom Cruise stars in a new action scene executed by himself, without doubles, without cheating or tricks. So much so, that Cruise trained for hours and hours to learn how to paraglide down an impressive mountainside, including sharp turns at full speed to end up landing in the lowest part of the valley that served as the setting for this new feat.

We’ll have to wait and see what context this new scene is situated in which the actor, instead of leaving these activities to the stuntmen, stars in the entire stunt himself, jumping from the top of a mountain without qualms. Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning - Part 1 aims to become one of the most visually spectacular installments of the franchise, which is no small thing.
