Commentary: Trek Stars: The Work Of Star Trek Creators Outside Of Star Trek

Abrams II, Part 6: Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol.   Running Time: 1 hour 10 minutes 10 seconds   Happy with the results of Mission: Impossible III, Tom Cruise and Paramount chose to continue their collaboration with J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot for the fourth film in the franchise, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. While Abrams would not direct the film himself, he would oversee it as producer. This production should be especially to fans of Star Trek, as it closely mirrors the relationship which Abrams has with the 50th anniversary movie, Star Trek Beyond.   In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, Mike and John are joined by Adam of The Red Shirt Diaries to look at Brad Bird's Ghost Protocol. We discuss how our thoughts have changed since its initial release, what Bird brought to the project as a director, and what this film tells us about Star Trek Beyond. We also profess our love for Robert Elswit.   Chapters Ghost Protocol (00:08:22) Abrams as Producer (00:36:41) Wrap-up (00:58:30)   Hosts Mike
