The Situation

The most anticipated film
of summer 2015 —
and an exclusive interview

Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation, the fifth instalment of Ethan Hunt's adventures with Tom Cruise, was one of the most anticipated blockbusters of summer 2015. In the run-up to the film's release, Yahoo secured an exclusive interview with the star — a significant editorial coup.

Conducted in English, the interview had exceptional audience potential: Tom Cruise gave spectacular details about the film's stunts and the many real risks he personally took during production. The kind of content that audiences across five major European and South American markets would want to see — in their own language.

Yahoo's plan: publish subtitled versions simultaneously across five local portals — France, Italy, Spain, Germany and Brazil — to maximise the interview's reach before the film's worldwide release.

"The interview must be published before the film's official release on August 5th — leaving only 3 days to obtain quality subtitled versions in five languages."
