Following the events of The Final Reckoning , Hunt swaps his career of saving the world for the quiet life, in which he spends his weekends fixing up a classic Mini and generally behaving like a man in his 60s is expected to.
But when he can't get hold of an original pedal box to complete the job, he's left with no choice but to re-assemble his closest allies at the IMF and embark on a breathless worldwide search involving death-defying stunts, hand-to-hand combat and ludicrous prosthetics. You might like
'His mission, should he choose to accept it, is to track down the missing piece of his beloved project car,' said an insider. 'But at what cost?
'Forget that this is a world in which you can synthesise any human face with a briefcase, this is also a world in which you can't 3D print a clutch pedal. So neurgh.

'Having taken down shady terrorist networks and single-handedly prevented a global nuclear winter, finding a rare bit of an old car is truly Ethan Hunt's toughest mission yet.

A treatment for Mission: Impossible 10 is also being discussed. Plot details are yet to be firmed up, but the entire movie will be based around the line 'This Land Rover will self-destruct in five seconds.'

Kevin Costner talks about working with women after being sued by Horizon stunt double over 'unscripted' rape scene

Kevin Costner has opened up about working with women weeks after being sued by a stunt double in his latest film Horizon over a 'violent and unscripted' rape scene. The 70-year-old star appeared for a Q&A with Michael Strahan at Fanatics Fest in New York City on Friday. He was asked by the 53-year-old Good Morning America host how he has been able to work romantic storylines into his sports and western films. Costner even mentioned the film at the center of his recent lawsuit as he responded: 'But movies for me, you just can't have a movie without having a girl. And these movies, even in my westerns when I did Horizon, it's dominated by women. 'It's just dominated by, and I just think they made for the best movies, the games we play and the professional athletes, it is a three hour day for them.' He went on to say that when it came to the sports movies that he's done, often times the lives of his characters off the field were more captivating than on the field. Costner explained: 'They basically practice the entire year, but they have these lives outside the lines of what they play. And that's where a lot of drama takes place. 'And I think in the sports movies, I think I've always felt the need to have women.' His comments came just weeks after he found himself in a legal battle as a female stunt double that worked on his $100million Western epic Horizon has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him and the film's producers. Devyn LaBella alleges that she was subjected to an unscripted rape scene without notice on the set of the second and final Horizon film — Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 — in May 2023. According to court docs obtained by LaBella filed her lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday, claiming that she 'was the victim of a violent, unscripted, unscheduled rape scene directed by Kevin Costner.' LaBella — who was hired as a stunt double for lead actress Ella Hunt — claimed to have never consented to the alleged scene, which she says left her with 'permanent trauma,' and that there was no intimacy coordinator present. The outlet reports that LaBella is 'suing for an undisclosed amount and wants a trial by jury.' Costner's attorney Marty Singer slammed LaBella as a 'serial accuser' as he vehemently denied her claims, which he insisted have 'absolutely no merit,' in a statement. He said that Costner 'always wants to make sure that everyone is comfortable working on his films and takes safety on set very seriously.' Singer, who accused LaBella of 'shakedown tactics,' also alleged that she had approved and rehearsed the scene with another actor prior to filming. He also claimed she was in 'good spirits' afterwards and had expressed gratitude for the opportunity via text to Horizon's stunt coordinator. In one alleged text, which was shared with PEOPLE, LaBella reportedly sent cartwheel and heart hand emojis to the stunt coordinator. Singer concluded: 'The facts are clear and we are beyond confident that Kevin will prevail.' In LaBella's suit filed Tuesday, the stuntwoman claimed that she was hired on for part two of Horizon as Ella Hunt's stunt double. As per the SAG agreement, LaBella was to stand-in for the actress 'during physical scenes,' as well as for any stunts. According to LaBella's complaint, any 'last minute requests for nudity or simulated sex' are not allowed by SAG and the film's producers are expected to give 48-hours notice of any changes. The performer's permission is also required when it comes to any changes related to intimate scenes. It was also claimed that having a 'coordinator for all intimacy scenes' was a requirement noted in Hunt's contract. Weeks into filming and 'without incident,' LaBella was told to stand-in for Hunt during a 'scripted, aggressive and intimate rape scene' due to its 'physical nature.' Devyn LaBella alleges that she was subjected to an unscripted rape scene without notice on the set of the second and final Horizon film — Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 — in May 2023 The scene was between Hunt's character Juliette and a male character Sig, played by actor Douglas Smith, and it was filmed on May 1, 2023, according to the lawsuit. The scene reportedly 'wrapped' with 'no issues' following multiple takes. One day later, LaBella — whose credits include Barbie (2023) and FX's American Horror Stories — alleged that she returned to the set of Horizon 2 for a 'non-intimate scene.' But LaBella claimed that director Costner, who was allegedly on set that day, had added in a scene where a different male character, played by Roger Ivens, sexually assaults Hunt's Juliette. Costner allegedly directed Ivens to 'climb on top of Ms. Hunt, violently raking up her skirt.' LaBella, who insists in her lawsuit that the scene was not listed on that day's call sheet, was allegedly asked by Costner to 'stand in' for Hunt 'without proper notice, consent, preparation, or appropriate safeguard measures in place.' She claimed that such a request 'was not within the scope of her role as a stunt double.' LaBella also alleged that she was unaware that Hunt herself had refused to do the scene — and that the actress had allegedly even gone as far as to walk off set. LaBella said her consent was not given to go through with the scene as she claimed it differed greatly from the rape scene shot on May 1, 2023, which had been choreographed, etc. Adding to her discomfort was the film's alleged open set, which would have allowed 'anyone' to walk on set and 'observe the scene being performed.' LaBella claimed that Costner did not call out 'action' or 'cut' during the scene, which meant she wasn't aware when it began or ended. She further alleged that neither the film's stunt coordinator or the intimacy coordinator were present during the filming of the impromptu scene or informed it was happening. The impact of the scene took a toll on LaBella, according to her lawsuit, as she allegedly broke down and experienced 'reminders of shame, humiliation and complete lack of control.' LaBella claimed that it was 'awkward' when she returned to set after taking several days off and that she was allegedly told to stay off set and remain in her trailer alone. She also claimed that those involved in the production 'made excuses' for Costner throughout the remainder of the shoot. LaBella claims that the onset incident has left her 'with permanent trauma that she will be required to address for years to come.' She said she began suffering from 'sleep disturbance, fears of intimacy' and 'anxiety,' which drove her to seek the help of a therapist in June 2023. 'On that day, I was left exposed, unprotected, and deeply betrayed by a system that promised safety and professionalism. What happened to me shattered my trust and forever changed how I move through this industry,' she shared in a statement to PEOPLE on Tuesday. 'As I continue performing and step into my journey of stunt coordination, I operate with a fierce commitment to upholding the highest standards, creating sets where safety, communication, and consent are non-negotiable. 'This experience has ignited in me a lifelong mission to be the advocate I once needed, ensuring no one else is ever left as vulnerable as I was.' LaBella's attorney James A. Vagnini called the lawsuit 'emblematic of what is still a very deep rooted issue in Hollywood.' LaBella's other attorney Kate McFarlane added that the 'case is a clear example of male-dominated, sexist Hollywood movie production. 'Our client was subjected to brutal sexual conduct completely unprotected from the obvious harm. This happened despite the fact that there exists standards of conduct and behavior specifically designed to protect people like Devyn LaBella,' McFarlane concluded.

Toyota Aims to Meet Stateside GR Corolla Demand with UK Production Line

Toyota's GR Corolla is one hot ride On paper, it is easy to understand the hype for the Toyota GR Corolla. For $39,995, car enthusiasts can pretty much get the closest thing to a WRC-winning rally car that money can buy and that your DMV will let you register for road use. While it shares its body with a practical five-door hatchback, Toyota's Gazoo Racing division stuffed lots of high-performance toys for unlimited smiles per gallon, including a turbocharged 1.6-liter three-cylinder engine producing 300 rampageous horsepower under the hood, an all-wheel-drive system, track-ready suspension, and a stiffened chassis. 2025 Toyota GR Corolla — Source: Toyota Toyota isn't faffing about with American demand for its pocket rocket With all this in tow, it is easy to see how Toyota's fast, little hatchback could be a sleeper hit that is taking the automaker by surprise. According to a new report by Reuters, insiders say that demand for the all-wheel-drive pocket rocket in the U.S. is so high that it is making a major production shift to satisfy their cravings. According to two sources close to Toyota, the Japanese automaker is moving some GR production from Japan to the UK in order to reduce the delivery wait times for export vehicles for the North American market. Currently, the GR Corolla is built on a dedicated assembly line shared with the GR Yaris at Toyota's Motomachi plant in Toyota City, Japan, which is reportedly insufficient to satisfy enthusiast demand in the U.S. and Canada. To accommodate this, Toyota will spend nearly $56 million to dedicate one production line at its plant in Burnaston, Derbyshire, in the UK. When it comes online in 2026, this line will be capable of producing 10,000 cars per year for export to the North American market. Opened in 1992, Burnaston uses some of Toyota's advanced production technology to pump out cars as fast as one per 60 seconds. Already, the English factory produces the Toyota Corolla hatchback, the vehicle on which the GR Corolla is based.

The sources who spoke with Reuters emphasized that GR models like the GR Corolla and GR Yaris require more time and effort to produce than their non-GR counterparts because of the many procedures that machines cannot do.

Although Toyota produces and sells a smaller chunk of GR Corollas compared to its more mainstream models, Toyota insiders note that their higher price tags compared to 'regular' Corollas command higher margins for the company, which could be a good deal, given the tariff situation currently at hand. Earlier this month, the Trump administration brokered a trade deal with Kier Starmer and the British government to reduce tariffs on UK vehicle imports from 27.5% to 10%. While automakers seem to get a break, the Trump administration restricts this 'special rate' for the first 100,000 cars automakers bring on American shores. Toyota insiders told Reuters that the move was not made because of President Donald Trump's tariffs on imported cars. 2025 Toyota GR Corolla — Source: James Ochoa Final thoughts I am not surprised that Toyota would be considering this move, as there seems to be something about the UK and hatchbacks. Previously, the last generation of Honda Civic Type R was made in Swindon, England, alongside production of the 'standard' Civic Hatchback destined for American shores. Nonetheless, the GR Corolla is an exhilarating car, even when equipped with an automatic transmission. However, I do hope that when they make this shift, Toyota GR fans will be vigilant for any noticeable differences in build quality compared to units from the Motomachi plant. Those GR engineers have a lot on their plates. About the Author James Ochoa View Profile

Trump Tariffs to Add $1,760 to New Car Prices in 2025

Automakers Expected to Pass Tariff Costs to Consumers If you've been saving your pennies, hoping to scrimp together enough money to afford the new vehicle you've been wanting, you may need to dig deeper into the couch cushions. Its price is likely to go up by nearly $2,000 – and possibly a good bit more thanks to Pres. Donald Trump's new tariffs on imported autos and auto parts. All told, automakers will take a $30 billion hit this year due to the new trade sanctions and while manufacturers will swallow some of the tab, predicts a new study, they'll pass 80% of the cost onto consumers. Don't be surprised to see some products disappear from the market entirely, said suburban Detroit consultancy AlixPartners, especially some of the import models likely to be hit hardest by the new tariffs. Land Rover Defender 90 'A Big Wall of Cost' 'These tariffs bring a big wall of cost,' Mark Wakefield, the head of AlixPartners' auto practice said during an online briefing with reporters, with 'consumers taking the majority of the hit.' If there's any shred of a silver lining to the 2025 AlixPartners Global Automotive Outlook it's that we could see the White House continue to revise its tariffs on import autos and auto parts, even as it works up trade deals that. The consultancy anticipates this will eventually lower the sanctions from 25% to an average closer to 7.5%. Even Domestic Models Will be Impacted The White House has rolled out an assortment of new tariffs and has yet to fully lock down the rules, David Steinert, a partner in the AlixPartners auto practice, said during a follow-up interview with Autoblog. 'The tariffs have changed a lot over the last 60 days,' and will likely continue to be revised in the months ahead. As a result, it's difficult to come up with hard numbers – but the consultancy's 'best guess,' he added, is that the typical vehicle will cost at least $1,760 more than before the tariffs went into effect. And for foreign-made luxury models that could ran into the tens of thousands. Autoblog Newsletter Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video.

'Vehicles that are produced in the US today are the most advantaged,' Steinert said, 'but even domestically-sourced vehicles bring in lots of (foreign-made) parts' that are now subject to tariffs. And the duties will be especially high if those parts come in from China. Entry-Level Cars May Vanish as Costs Rise Automakers are expected to pass on about 80% of their tariff costs – though they won't do it uniformly, the AlixPartners study anticipates. 'Entry-level and mainstream cars will have less of a pass-through' than luxury and exotic models, explained Steinert. Automakers want to avoid driving budget buyers out of the new vehicle market. On the other hand, with 'higher-end brands, with customers who are less price-sensitive, more of the tariffs (will be) passed through.' In some cases, manufacturers may not find it worthwhile to absorb tariff costs. Nissan has already decided to dump the Versa, what is today the most affordable product line in the U.S., at the end of this year, according to Automotive News. Even some higher-end models could be dropped, said Steinert, if manufacturers find higher prices dry up sales. Luxury and Imported EVs Face Steepest Increases Battery-electric vehicles are seen as especially vulnerable, warned AlixPartners. A number of today's models, such as the Audi Q5 e-tron and Mercedes EQE sedan, are imported and face hefty tariffs. Even domestically assembled models, like the Tesla Model Y, typically rely on batteries either shipped in from China or built domestically using Chinese raw materials. Complicating matters: the federal budget bill backed by the Trump administration and now working its way through Congress. It is expected to eliminate federal tax credits of up to $7,500. And, said Wakefield, buyers are likely to 'follow their pocketbook' and stick to more affordable vehicles with internal combustion engines. In its 2023 Global Automotive Outlook, AlixPartners forecast EVs would account for 31% of the U.S. market. It now anticipates a figure closer to 17%. Source: Mercedes-Benz New Car Sales Likely to Decline Through 2027 Conventional wisdom suggests the new tariffs will result in declining new vehicle sales. The real question is how much of a slump might they trigger. Last month, Cox Automotive forecast demand could drop to as low as 15 million, about 1 million below the 2024 total. And the study warned that could dip into the low 14 million range in the event of a recession. For his part, AlixPartner's Wakefield is more upbeat. He thinks the U.S. market will decline by about 1 million – but over a three-year period – and then begin to bounce back. But there's a caveat. This would require the Trump administration to deliver on its promise to negotiate new trade agreements with key partners. So far, however, it's struggling to follow through, with only one big deal in place with the United Kingdom. About the Author Paul Eisenstein View Profile
