Mission Impossible scenes 'leaked' onto internet.
Quote:
Tom Cruise's baby was not the only birth in his life over the past 24 hours. Today, scenes from his upcoming thriller, “Mission: Impossible 3,” are being leaked to the Internet.
In the last day or so, two scenes have made it onto youtube.com. They aren’t trailers. These are scenes. One of them is called “I’ve Got a Signal” and the other is “Are You In?”
Both scenes are a minute long. The first one is an action sequence with Ving Rhames and Jonathan Rhys-Myers. You can’t really judge it, but it’s very colorful chase that ends with a big explosion. The sound is good enough that the clip will definitely whet appetites for more.
The second scene, however, is less exciting. It’s Tom delivering an impassioned speech to Rhames and Rhys-Myers in front of a clear planning board. Honestly, it looks a little like an outtake from “Minority Report.”
But at least there’s a funny little spoiler: it seems that Philip Seymour Hoffman’s villain is named Oscar Davian, a tribute to his longtime manager and friend Davien Littlefield. The character is referred to in the movie by his last name, so there’s a lot of talk about “Davian.” It’s a nice inside joke.
It’s hard to say whether Paramount has authorized these clips as a way of stoking interest in the $200 million film (that includes promotion), or if some snarky person in the production office is behind the leaks.
And if there are two today, are more coming? The answer is probably yes. Paramount’s mission, if they choose to accept it, may be to stem the tide in coming days.
The clips can be found on youtube simply by typing in Cruise’s name or the name of the movie in the search engine.
But be warned: you will also find several parodies of the film and of Cruise himself regarding Katie Holmes and Scientology. They are almost more fun to watch than the clips.

I'm sure this is a ploy by Paramount but whatever. I'm off to watch the parodies and then, maybe the scenes.
***edit: parodies were what you'd expect but the second scene was hilarious when the guy says to Tomthum: 'there's a point when bold becomes stupid'. No shit, eh tom?
