In news everyone was expecting, the next Mission: Impossible movie, the eight in the series following this summer’s ‘Dead Reckoning – Part One‘, has had its released date pushed back to the summer of 2024. It was originally due to hit screens next summer, a year after ‘part one’.
Paramount Pictures confirmed the news through the trades on Tuesday morning, the reason presumably due to the ongoing strikes by Screen Actors Guild members. The film has a considerable amount of shooting still left to be completed and will now officially movie from a June 28, 2024 debut to May 23, 2025. It is thought that the film will undergo a title change though still follow-on from the events in the last movie.
A Quiet Place: Day One will move from March next year to the space formerly occupied by ‘M:I 8’, a delay of three months. Variety reports that an untitled animated “SpongeBob SquarePants” adventure has been postponed from May 23, 2025 to Dec. 19, 2025.
I expect this to be the first in a long list of studio shuffles due to the strikes which continue with both parties set to return to the table later on Tuesday for more discussions.
