“The next mission: impossible will be the most gigantic and intimate episode of the saga”
On the cover of the first, Tom Cruise and the director Christopher McQuarrie tell the backst of The Final Reckoning.
It may be the last episode of Mission: Impossible. The eighth part of the spy saga (in theaters on May 21, after an out -of -competition presentation at the Cannes Film Festival) is not called in any case not The Final Reckoning For nothing.
In summary of first n ° 562
“”It is the conclusion of a narrative arc started thirty years ago. A film that aims to include the whole saga“says director Christopher Mcquarrie in the new issue of Firstin newsstands since Wednesday. Fans will not be surprised by this teasing, they who have already spotted in The last trailer for the film Images extracted from several previous components (the infiltration of the CIA of the first film, the mysterious “rabbit paw” of episode 3, the explosion of the Kremlin in the 4, etc.). But there is no question of doing fan service, however, defends McQuarrie in the magazine’s pages:
“”I don’t like the fan service. In my eyes, it is the snake that bites its tail. Tom Cruise and I are on the other hand very attentive to the returns of spectators, and their comments sometimes allow us to understand why they regret the way in which such or such character was abandoned on the edge of the path, and how we could solve it satisfactorily. I call it the “lost opportunities” of the saga. In The Final ReckoningI took it upon myself to provide answers to these questions left irresolved. So much the better if it pleases fans, but it is not the primary goal of the process. These lost opportunities are above all emotional opportunities. Because for me, that’s always the horizon: the characters and the emotion. “
What are these “lost opportunities “ What is Christopher McQuarrie talking about? We already know that the character of CIA analyst played by Rolf Saxon in the inaugural film by Brian de Palma in 1996 will be back in The Final Reckoning29 years (!) After a memorable appearance in the Hi-Tech room of the CIA infiltrated by Ethan Hunt. But actress Pom Klementieff (who returns to the shoes of the Super Assassin Internationale Paris, after a performance denied in Dead Reckoning) We also slipped into interview to be ” Sometimes going to the set just for the pleasure of attending the return of a character I loved in a previous film … and I pinched to believe it! »»

These words – very intriguing – are to be found in a dossier of ten pages dedicated to the film, including in particular an interview with actor Simon Pegg (pillar of the saga since Mission: Impossible 3 In 2006), as well as the account of a day of London shooting alongside Tom Cruise in person, where he notably evokes his passion for submarine films. And his desire to turn one, finally softened with The Final Reckoning. A film that Christopher McQuarrie describes as “of a huge scale – the most gigantic we have done! – but also very tight on the intimacy of the characters. “ You are warned.
