Tom Cruise has revealed that the fourth Mission: Impossible film will be titled Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol.

But the new film is taking Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol to EXTREME measures. It is in production and word is, Tom Cruise will be hanging along the side of the tallest building in the world, which stand 160 stories high. It’s the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai but would not add any further details, except this tidbit.

Tom Cruise said to Collider:

“I’ll be spending many days, many hours on the side of this building. I can’t give you details, but I will be up there.”

Cruise added this about the ‘in-early production stages’ sequel to Top Gun:

“Those things are a long way off. It takes a long time to figure out stuff.”

However, Ghost Protocol will be the first high-profile production to be set mostly in Dubai.

Director Brad Bird commented:

“We love the fact that it’s a big, new city, that it hasn’t been photographed very much…It’s almost like sets that you could never afford.”

Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol is due for release in December 2011.

Isn’t this funny how United Arab Emirates has the tallest building now? Will America ever get a build like this again? Will it go in NYC, the country of the free?  Get more inside about the newest tallest building in the world.

According to ABC News, Developers say Burj Dubai is 512.1 metres tall, surpassing Taiwan’s Taipei 101, which is 508 metres tall.

Eemar Properties says Burj Dubai, or Dubai Tower, now has 141 storeys, more than any other building in the world.

Eemar says the skyscraper will be more than 700 metres tall and have more than 160 storeys, but its exact projected height is a secret.

The tower, scheduled for completion in 2008, is one of a string of grandiose projects taking shape in Dubai, which is part of the United Arab Emirates.

Eemar says the tower “became the tallest building in the world in just 1,276 days,” leaving behind other skyscrapers such as Malaysia’s Petronas Towers, Chicago’s Sears Tower and New York’s Empire State Building,

It is the centrepiece of a $22.7 billion venture featuring the construction of a new district, Downtown Burj Dubai, that will house 30,000 apartments and the world’s largest shopping mall.

The Burj Dubai will join other architectural feats in the city, including three palm tree-shaped man-made islands and “The World”, a cluster of 300 islands looking like a blurred vision of the planet’s nations being built off Dubai’s coast.
