Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol gets a full trailer

We've previously had a pretty tantalising glimpse of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol in the form of a teaser, but a full trailer has finally landed online.

It basically expands on what we've already seen, giving a better sense of the story and putting the spectacular action sequences in context.

It's looking like Brad Bird has made a comfortable transition from animation to live action, and the plot seems satisfyingly simple: the IMF are set up, and have to go rogue to clear their name.

And let's be honest, we're all a litte more interested in this one now we know it'll give us a glimpse at a few minutes of The Dark Knight Rises (if you see it in 70mm IMAX at least).

Check out the full trailer right here:

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol opens on 26 December 2011.
