Paramount Pictures just debuted a sneak peek behind the scenes of the fourth Mission Impossible film, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, featuring Tom Cruise showing he’s still capable of doing his own stunts. The clip takes place at Burj Khalifa, the tallest building on the planet, and shows director Brad Bird, Tom Cruise, and the crew filming the action movie one and a half miles above Burj Khalifa’s ground floor.

It’s seriously scary just watching the clip – I can’t even imagine what it must have been like to be the one jumping around outside of the building.

Watch the clip:

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol opens in IMAX theaters on December 16, 2011 followed by its release in regular theaters on December 21st.

Official Synopsis: This is not just another mission. The IMF is shut down when it’s implicated in a global terrorist, bombing plot. Ghost Protocol is initiated and Ethan Hunt and his rogue new team must go undercover to clear their organization’s name. No help, no contact, off the grid. You have never seen a mission grittier and more intense than this.
