”McQ and I have all these ideas and some are based on passions we had as kids” : Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise and Mission Impossible director Christopher McQuarrie talk about their working relationship and their collaboration on action

Tom Cruise is all set to sizzle the silver screen once again and take the global box office by storm with his next massive outing – Mission Impossible : Dead Reckoning Part 1. The film has been one of 2023’s most anticipated releases and is expected to release pan-India in Hindi, English, Tamil and Telugu.

The film has been one of the most talked about action adventures especially for the motorbike base jumping stunt that left audiences gobsmacked! As per director Christopher McQuarrie, in many ways these monumental moments on film have been lifetimes in the making. “Tom and I have been working together now for 16 years on what I think is close to a dozen films, and I like to describe our relationship as one long conversation about movies that’s occasionally interrupted by production,” says McQuarrie. “We eat, sleep, and breathe movies all the time. We’re constantly taking all of the knowledge that we have acquired both separately, and together, and trying to apply it to something beyond our capabilities, something beyond what we have done before.”

Both McQuarrie and Cruise say they pitch each other huge stunt ideas all the time. “McQ and I have all these ideas and, sure, some are based on passions we had as kids,” Cruise says. “But now it’s up to us to not just imagine these things, but to figure out how to shoot them.” And that, they both say, is where the real fun lies.

A Paramount Pictures and Skydance Presentation, A Tom Cruise Production “MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE” is all set to release pan India on July 12 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
