Badly timed promo pic of hooded Tom Cruise amid destruction surfaces for 'MI:4'

Paramount picked a bit of a dodgy time to debut their new promo image for their forthcoming 'Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol'...

As riots sweep across Britain after reaching fever pitch in London, this shot of Tom Cruise in a hooded top with a blaze of destruction behind him may give the film a moody edge to its American target base, but considering the wave of similar images of hooded looters dominating the British press, it's a little more awkward here.

The fourth film in the hit spy franchise sees Cruise return to his iconic role as Ethan Hunt, with Simon Pegg and Jeremy Renner bagging co-starring role's in director Brad Bird's stab at the series.

The image first broke over at Yahoo, 'Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol' is slated for release on December 2nd.
