Hitting theaters on July 12, Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning fell short of expectations, grossing “only” $496 million internationally (on an estimated budget of $290 million). According to the American media, his break-even point will be around 725 million dollars. In France, the Tom Cruise starrer has painfully crossed the 2 million mark.
Released a week before the tidal wave of Oppenheimer and Barbie, the 7th installment of The Adventures of Super-Spy Ethan Hunt was overshadowed by the Barbenheimer phenomenon. However, Tom Cruise gave himself up, especially performing the saga’s most dangerous stunt by jumping off a cliff on a motorcycle.
If he wasn’t shuddering at the thought of risking his life for the needs of the film, the 61-year-old actor also didn’t hesitate to show off his house to film the scene! What wouldn’t we do for Mission Impossible!
Podcast guest Empire Spoiler Special Movie PodcastDirector Christopher McQuarrie told this unusual anecdote about Tom Cruise. “The whole mission briefing scene was made in a week and shot in a day. Except for the side scenes, which we shot in Tom Cruise’s garage in Florida, because something was missing.”the film director revealed.
The entire mission briefing scene was created in one week and shot in one day. Except for the side scenes we shot in Tom Cruise’s garage in Florida.
“First of all, we rushed to shoot the scenes, and anything you shoot in a hurry never amounts to anything. It was the longest day of shooting, the last. I realized when I got on stage that I had the key, Ilsa, to the Huntsmen, and we had a hard time figuring out what Marie meant. flashbacks”The director explains.
“I was in the editing room. I was going into shots of Marie and I was like, ’30 years ago, you were given a choice’. I just broke down. Stop asking the audience to understand and just tell them what they need to know.”Macquarie said.
Then the latter called Tom Cruise and explained that the sequence was not readable and that it was necessary, in particular, to add plans with identity photos.
“So we brought a table, a floor, a bag, some pictures and guns, all the basics, and we went to Tom’s garage in Florida. We hired a small crew to redo everything.”– confided the director.
The second part of Dead Reckoning will be released on June 26, 2024.
