The film features Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, and Ving Rhames to reprise their respective roles, with Jeremy Renner, Josh Holloway, Anil Kapoor, Léa Seydoux, and Vladimir Mashkov coming on board to join the cast. J.J. Abrams, the director of Mission: Impossible III is on board as producer. Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol is currently scheduled to open on December 16th.

Here's the official synopsis of the film:

Director Brad Bird and Producer J.J. Abrams bring us the action packed, entertainment event of the holiday season with MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL. This is not just another mission. The IMF is shut down when it’s implicated in a global terrorist bombing plot. Ghost Protocol is initiated and Ethan Hunt and his rogue new team must go undercover to clear their organization’s name. No help, no contact, off the grid. You have never seen a mission grittier and more intense than this.
