Tom Cruise is in Dubai filming for Mission Impossible 4 and it looks like the movie will feature one of Cruise's most daring stunts. Cruise was spotted dangling from the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, which stands 2,717 feet tall. The scene was filmed at the Observation Deck level which is 124 floors high, about two thirds of the way up the skyscraper. A helicopter was aside the building filming the daring feat.

Cruise was also joined by co-stars Jeremy Renner and Paula Patton at the newly opened Armani hotel for a press conference for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Over the weekend he was spotted hitting the slopes at Ski Dubai, the world's largest indoor ski area. Rumors about where else Cruise will land continue to swirl. Other potential spots could include the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab and the new Meydan racetrack complex.

Filming for the movie has taken Cruise and crew around the world. Scenes were previously shot in Prague and after Dubai production will move to Vancouver for three months.
