'Mission: Impossible 5' Release Date, Latest News: Sequel Rescheduled for This Summer
Paramount's next big screen offering "Mission Impossible: 5" has a new release date and reports indicated that the upcoming title will open in theaters this summer.
The studio is moving the outing date of the fifth Tom Cruise-led installment on July 31st this year instead of late 2015, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The new schedule will put the movie far from the other two anticipated blockbuster titles like James Bond film (Spectre), which is by the way slated to hit the cinemas on Nov. 6, and with J.J. Abrams' "Star Wars Episode VII" that is also already reported to open in Dec. 18.

Fans of the franchise will also be introduced to new cast members Alec Baldwin who will play as the head of the CIA while Chinese actress Zhang Jingchu was also cast for a major role in the film.
