The live red carpet event will air online beginning at 7:00 p.m. BRST/ 4:00 p.m. EST / 1:00 p.m. PST and will feature a live performance by Grammy®-nominated DJ & Producer Tiësto, who will unveil his brand new re-mix of the famed Mission: Impossible theme song, written by Lalo Schifren, for the first time ever. This special red carpet event will be streamed free at CokeZero.com/Mission MissionImpossible.com Livestream.com/MissionImpossible http://www.facebook.com/tiesto and Coke Zero on Facebook.  

The film's star and producer Tom Cruise, co-star Paula Patton, director Brad Bird and other special celebrity guests will be on-hand in Rio for live interviews with hosts Quddus and Carla Lamarca. As part of this special live-stream, Coke Zero, Tiësto and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE GHOST PROTOCOL fans will be able to ask cast members questions directly from the Livestream chat. In addition, fans will have the opportunity to experience highlights from the multi-city global tour the cast and filmmakers have completed, including stops in Japan, Korea, India, Dubai, France, Germany, Spain, Australia, Russia and Italy.

The 'Mission' movies have an immense worldwide fan base, commented LeeAnne Stables, Paramount's Executive Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Partnerships. And bringing brand leader Coke Zero and a live performance by internationally renowned DJ & Producer Tiësto together to celebrate the release of this next instalment in the hit 'Mission' franchise couldn't make for a more exciting global event.

Blamed for the terrorist bombing of the Kremlin, IMF operative Ethan Hunt is disavowed along with the rest of the agency when the President initiates Ghost Protocol. Left without any resources or backup, Ethan must find a way to clear his agency's name and prevent another attack. To complicate matters further, Ethan is forced to embark on this mission with a team of fellow IMF fugitives whose personal motives he does not fully know.

Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol: Movie Review...

The super popular and very cook Mission: Impossible franchise is back... enter Ghost Protocol.

Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt goes on a one man rampage to clear his organization's name in Brad Bird's first live-action film, and Bird does a top job.

Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, does the 16 year old movie and television franchise justice and we think is one of the better films of 2011. This film and some of the cast just has to win some awards, and this is Cruise's big comeback that the world has been waiting for.

You've got the can't miss combo of Yankee agents attempting to stop a bad guy who has it in this think skull that a nuclear winter will be very cool. Ethan has other ideas, and becomes a one man war machine (or anti-war machine), may be more appropriate.

IMAX teamed up with Paramount Pictures, Cruise and Bird really is a world class threesome.

Those into maths - the franchise has netted in $1.4 billion to date.

Media and fans across the world are lapping it up, but will Cruise also come to Australia to promote the film? Time will tell, but here's hoping our friends at Paramount Pictures Australia will give it the nod.

Ethan does all (or most) of his own stunts, and is often found on tall buildings. It's hard to tell how much CGI and other visual effects are used, and we are not likely to find out.

The tagline is No Plan. No Backup. No Choice. You have a choice as to if you will see this film. We're here to tell you to see it. Most of the Mission: Impossible games of all types are worth checking out also, so check Media Man's Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment PartyCasino and Nintendo reviews, and then there's the official Mission: Impossible for the latest and greatest on the film. Cruise has stopped or distanced himself from Scientology, and that's further got him browny points with the world's media and movie fans. 4.5 out of 5 stars. Your mission today, or at least this festive season, is to see this film (and any live music associated with it).
