![]() What is it like working with Tom Cruise on this franchise? He is so much more than just its star. You know, maybe Tom Cruise’s character would be asking me to do this stunt and I kind of question it, like “Why do I have to do it, get somebody else to do it.” Yeah, certainly, but it balances it out because there is a bit of drama too when we’re yelling at each other and want to kill each other, and then there’s times that the intensity is so high.īut it’s good to undercut it with a little bit of realism. With Simon Pegg also having a much larger role, this looks like a much more playful kind of Mission: Impossible. Of course it has the big action set pieces, and Mission: Impossible is known for those big action set pieces, but this has things even bigger and more intense and now it’s partially shot in IMAX, which is really more immersive visually.īut there’s time and care spent on the characters, as much as you possibly can in a big, fun popcorn movie like this so you get invested hopefully and then the ride becomes even more fun. There is great conflict and drama and a sense of humour within all the characters: That’s what separates it. It being a Mission: Impossible is the only thing it has in common with the previous films – that and Ethan Hunt are the through-lines here. There are so many things that are so different I don’t want to draw a comparison to any of the other Mission movies. I think every character in this movie is new.Įven though Pegg was in the last one, his character has grown and continued on to be a field agent-not a guy behind the scenes. Would you say Brandt is a new kind of Mission: Impossible agent? With the machine of Paramount behind it, the great support system that they give, and then Brad Bird sealed the deal for me I love his movies. I mean I was a fan of Tom and the franchise. They all had their own sort of take on what the movie was and gave me a general sense of everything and why they wanted me to be a part of it. I met up with Tom Cruise and Brad Bird and Bryan Burk, one of the producers. Here he spills the beans on what it’s like to be part of a big Hollywood franchise and what it’s like to work under Tom Cruise as the director and star. Jeremy Renner is more desk agent than field agent as William Brandt in Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, but he gets to see more than his fair share of the action.
