Paramount Pictures is planning to premiere 'Mission: Impossible 8' at the Cannes Film Festival. The trailer and title for the film will be revealed this month. The production of the film, which has one of the longest production timelines for a regular movie, has been completed. The budget for 'Mission: Impossible 8' is near $400 million, making it one of the most expensive films ever made. Paramount aims to market the film as the final entry in the franchise to boost audience interest, but Tom Cruise opposes a public farewell to his character. Comparisons are being drawn to the successful premiere of 'Top Gun: Maverick' at Cannes.
