Story:

Hollywood's brightest turned out in force for the much anticipated spy thriller "Mission Impossible", which marks Tom Cruise's debut as a film producer.
A jubilant Cruise, who also stars in the movie, spoke about the success of his foray into production.
"What surprised me is how big this picture was...I thought Mission Impossible was perfect for a movie," he said at the Los Angeles premiere on May 20.
A proud Nicole Kidman accompanied Cruise. "It's taken three years (to produce) all the way through...it's nice that it turned out," she said.
Cruise's adaptation of the popular television show of the same name is a big-budget spy thriller that offers everything from high-tech gadgets to a thrilling finale on board a high speed train.
In the director's chair is veteran filmmaker Brian De Palma, whose credits include "The Untouchables," "Carlito's Way," "Carrie," "Dressed To Kill," and "Body Double." He and co-star Jon Voight paid tribute to Cruise's performance. "It's a new Tom we're seeing, a romantic Tom," Voight said.
Cruise plays Ethan Hunt, the point man in an elite group of American spies working deep undercover in Eastern Europe. The group is called IMF, standing for Impossible Missions Force, and its leader is Jim Phelps, played by Voight.
Phelps is the only character carried over from the original television series. In fact, Cruise and his company are deliberately down-playing any relationship between the television show and the film.
French actress Emmanuelle Beart, who plays Hunt's team member Claire, said mastering the English language presented the greatest challenge for her during filming.
Of course, the most recognisable signature from the original show is the music composed by Lalo Schifren. For the film, composer Danny Elfman, formerly of the band Oingo Boingo, incorporated parts of Schifren's original theme with new music.
In addition, two members of the rock band U-2, Larry Mullen and Adam Clayton, have composed and released a C-D containing three different updated versions of the popular theme.
"It's a theme so well known and so unique, it's hard to screw it up. I'm very pleased it all worked out," Clayton said at the premiere.
In the film, Hunt (Cruise) finds himself suddenly disavowed by the C.I.A. when a mission in Prague goes fatally wrong and he is suspected of being a mole trying to sell Agency secrets to an international arms dealer.
Hunt must team up with his only surviving team member Claire (Beart), and turn the tables on whoever set him up in the first place. Watching his every move is his suspicious former C.I.A.
superior Kittridge, played by Henry Czerny.
Other cast members include Jean Reno and Ving Rhames as two other disavowed former agents and Vanessa Redgrave as a mysterious arms dealer.
"Mission Impossible" is expected to be one of the big summer blockbusters when it opens in the United States Wednesday, May 22. Close
