Simon Pegg Star Wars Prequels Mission Impossible Rogue Nation

Back in July, a sizzle reel for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was shown at San Diego Comic-Con, and in the video, someone unexpected showed up — Mr. Simon Pegg. While Pegg has made a name for himself with Edgar Wright’s “The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End), the actor has also been a part of major film franchises like Star Trek, Mission: Impossible, and Chronicles of Narnia. But, if you know Pegg, then you know he’s a total Star Wars fanatic (check out his book Nerd Do Well). We don’t know yet what his role in the new Star Wars film will be, but one thing’s for sure, if there’s an actor out there who deserves to have a part in the Star Wars saga, it’s Simon Pegg.

With that, while Pegg was making the press rounds for his latest film, the Tom Cruise actioner Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, MTV asked him to rank all six existing Star Wars films from worst to best in under a minute.

Check out that video here below.

“Hunt is the living manifestation of destiny and he has made you his mission.”

Directed by Brian De Palma and starring Tom Cruise, 1996’s Mission: Impossible was a critical and commercial success. Based on the 1960s CBS television series, the adaptation became the third highest-grossing film of that year, bested only by Twister and Independence Day.

Five movies and two decades later, the Mission: Impossible franchise shows no signs of slowing. The latest installment, Christopher McQuarrie‘s Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, is an action-packed spy thriller that’s bolder than Bond and more fun than Furious 7.

Star Trek Beyond Contest

Remember when that video was released with Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams standing in front of a full-size X-wing to announce a contest for charity in which the winner would score a walk-on role in the movie? Well, those of you who prefer the Star Trek universe now have the same opportunity.

It’s been announced that a similar contest is now live that will lead to someone winning a walk-on role in the upcoming Star Trek Beyond, the rebooted movie franchise’s trilogy-maker. Better yet, those who don’t win the big prize can still win a set visit. The contest is done in a crowdfunding style, where you obtain entries in the contest by purchasing perks, which is a big plus. Instead of blindly throwing $10 in and hoping you win, $10 gets you a digital badge and 100 chances to win. $50 gets you a digital thank you video from the cast and crew of the movie and 500 entries. $10,000 to $15,000 gets you props from the three most recent Trek movies and 100,000 to 150,000 entries. But good luck competing with the person who drops $100,000 for a replica captain’s chair and 1,000,000 entries.

You can get all the details about the contest below, and also watch a video of the cast (Chris Pine, Simon Pegg, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, and newcomer Idris Elba) announcing the contest, which, by the way, ends with a little dance party.

Behind The Scenes Video Of Tom Cruise’s Insane ‘Rogue Nation’ Plane Stunt

Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation Header

There’s no denying that Tom Cruise is one of the biggest movies stars ever to walk this little planet we all call home. But what separates him from most other big stars out there is his willingness to take on many of the unbelievable stunts required of the role that he’s playing all by himself.

Many of these wild and crazy stunts have been done in his time playing Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible movie franchise. We saw the biggest of them in 2011’s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, in which Cruise actually dangled off the side of the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It was the biggest he’s ever performed, that is. But not anymore. When Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation is released on July 31st, that stunt will be surpassed in a big way when moviegoers watch Cruise hanging from the side of a freakin’ airplane as it takes off.

We’ve seen a preview of the stunt in trailers for the movie, and now a new video has been released offering a behind the scenes peek at Cruise being strapped to the side of the plane and hanging on for dear life as it takes off. You can check it out below.
