Paramount moves MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE to December 21

Mission: Impossible--Ghost Protocol has has a new release date. Deadline reports that Paramount has moved the film from its December 16, 2011 release date to Wednesday, December 21. Not only does that mean it will be released in the prime holiday spot, but it will also not have to open against Warner Bros' Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows nor the Alvin and the Chipmunks sequel. Instead, it wll open against the David Fincher's adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, and be released two days before The Adventures of Tintin, Summit's The Darkest Hour, Fox's We Bought A Zoo, and FilmDistrict's release of the Angelina Jolie-directed In The Land Of Blood And Honey.

Deadline also reports that Paramount is about to formalize a February 8, 2013 release date for One Shot, the Christopher McQuarrie-directed adaptation of the Lee Child mystery novel series that the studio hopes will launch another Cruise franchise. Cruise committed earlier this month to play Jack Reacher, "a retired military policeman who wanders the country with his toothbrush, the clothes on his back and his bankbook and inadvertently gets involved in conspiracies that find him taking the side of the powerless and exploited. He often settles matters with explosive violence." 

I am very excited to see both of these films. The only issue I have with Mission: Impossible is the Eminem song used in the trailer. What are your thoughts on this news?
