Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol Shooting Diary

by David James

LOS ANGELES. PRAGUE. DUBAI. VANCOUVER. THE IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL CAST AND CREW TRAVELED THE GLOBE FOR SIX MONTHS OF INTENSIVE SHOOTING TO CREATE THE MOST SPECTACULAR FILM IN THE BLOCKBUSTER FRANCHISE TO DATE. Veteran unit photographer David James was there, documenting every moment of principal production with stars Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, and Paula Patton. An unusually daring team, they braved sandstorms and crashed cars in the streets of Dubai, dove underwater in British Columbia, evaded explosions in an old Czech prison, and scaled the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa. James's Shooting Diary is a remarkable visual record of these exhilarating stunts and exotic locations-the features that make Impossible one of the most exciting film series in history.

Reviews

[Kyisha Walter · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is very satisfactory for what it is. There are some really awesome pictures, and it is a great book to have on your coffee table if you are a fan of the movie. However, despite all the praise I have for this book I have a major issue with it as well. The way that the female actors are referred to in this book and even the wives of the men involved irked me. It was a reminder that there will always be a veil between me and movies such as action movies because I am a woman.

One of the sexiest books out there. The photos of Tom Cruise are worth every penny.

This is my favorite MI film and the behind the scenes stuff is really cool. I didn’t know that Prague and Vancouver could double for Moscow.
