Everyone loved tom cruise's viral tweet of him supporting other movies coming out this summer, share this article.

Tom Cruise loves movies, and every single day he posts on social media is another reminder of that indisputable fact.

After dominating the box office and earning awards love for his 2022 blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick , the actor is back this summer with his latest Mission: Impossible film opening next month.

Even though he’s got a big movie of his own ready to hit theaters in a couple of weeks, the actor couldn’t help but throw his support behind three other big movies this summer: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny , Oppenheimer and Barbie .

Cruise and his Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1 director Christopher McQuarrie posed in a now-viral series of photos with movie tickets and posters for those three aforementioned movies.

The actor’s Twitter account shared a heartening message for all three of those films, saying that “this summer is full of amazing movies to see in theaters.”

This summer is full of amazing movies to see in theaters. Congratulations, Harrison Ford, on 40 years of Indy and one of the most iconic characters in history. I love a double feature, and it doesn't get more explosive (or more pink) than one with Oppenheimer and Barbie. pic.twitter.com/udWHHj4fAe — Tom Cruise (@TomCruise) June 28, 2023

As you can imagine, everyone continues to love Cruise’s unabashed love of movies. The positive vibes flowed through for the actor’s supportive message about just loving the movies and the theatrical experience.

Jack Reacher Was the Beginning of a Beautiful Blockbuster Friendship

Here are the things you need to know about the character Jack Reacher: He stands at six feet, five inches tall and weighs roughly 250 pounds. He is an ex-military police officer who now drifts across the country, stumbling across small-town problems (an unsolved murder, a kidnapping). Typically he will do what he can to restore order and pursue justice and one time he survived getting shot directly in the chest because he’s so jacked that his muscles stopped the bullet. Jack Reacher is a sparse man with a sparse wardrobe, largely assembled from Goodwills and community thrift stores, picking up what he needs as he finds himself needing it and discarding it when it has outlived its usefulness to him, and in case you skimmed past the prior sentence I’ll say one more time that Jack Reacher is so big that one time his muscles stopped a bullet.

You could be forgiven for reading this description and not immediately thinking of Tom Cruise, a man famously 5’7” on a good day. And yet Cruise took on the role of that beefcake drifter in 2012, garnering vocal outcry from the Jack Reacher fan community (largely comprised of dads, a group who famously refuse to waver in their opinions on the most trivial of matters like, for example, who should play the fictional character Jack Reacher). “He is a terrible match for the character,” Jack Reacher fans insisted. “There is no way Tom Cruise’s chest could stop a bullet fired at point blank range and also he is very short.”

With respect for the Jack Reacher stans, I would posit this: Cruise’s physique is a valid reason to knock his casting but not a valid reason to dismiss the film outright, which holds tremendous merit even if its lead actor doesn’t have pecs dense enough to serve as Kevlar. There are two reasons for this, one being that Thomas Cruise Mapother IV is one of the great movie stars of all time who can bring things to a performance that no 6’5”, 250-pound beefcake who played Aquaman on Smallville can. The second is that Jack Reacher marks the first director-actor collaboration between Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie, a collaboration that has yielded what the kids might call “bangers only.”

McQuarrie first rose to fame as the writer of The Usual Suspects , though after his disastrous directorial debut, The Way of the Gun (it’s bad, and not even in a fun way), he was put in what he long referred to as “director jail.” He returned to his work as a screenwriter and first crossed paths with Cruise during the making of the 2008 film Valkyrie . The film is one of the great missteps in Cruise’s career and had a notoriously troubled production , though amid that chaos Cruise and McQuarrie seem to have found in one another kindred collaborative spirits.

Cruise’s production company Cruise/Wagner Productions acquired the film rights to Jack Reacher back in 2005. The project lingered in limbo for a few years, finally getting a kickstart when McQuarrie was hired to revise the script, an adaptation of the ninth Reacher novel, One Shot . It went into production at a pivotal moment in Cruise’s career as well as McQuarrie’s. For Cruise, his star power — which had fallen substantially in the years following his couch-jumping, histrionic 2005 (an all-time bad PR year for any celebrity) — no longer guaranteed a movie would be a hit. Cruise rethought his approach to blockbuster filmmaking accordingly for Jack Reacher . No longer able to approach every project with a blank check, he agreed to a scaled-down production budget of $60 million. The lower budget made the project an enticing get for a studio — a Cruise movie still had the potential to be a massive hit and this one came with substantially lower risk. It also allowed Cruise some more freedom in his producer responsibilities, such as putting the film’s creative team together. He used that leverage to break McQuarrie out of director jail and put him behind the camera once again.

It proved a savvy move. Whatever Cruise’s physique prevents him from bringing to the role of Jack Reacher — though his performance is as locked in as ever, all simmering rage and gritted jaws and rarely ever smiling — McQuarrie’s script and directing make up for in spades. Jack Reacher is a down-the-middle adult thriller directed with a Hitchcockian eye, meticulously composed and paced with an attention to detail rare in this sort of film. Like all great mysteries, every answer to the questions the audience will spend the film asking is present in the opening set piece.

Speaking of which, an entire essay could be dedicated to the first 12 minutes alone. The film’s opening is dialogue free, with nearly ten minutes of relative silence as McQuarrie walks us through the film’s inciting incident: a mass shooting carried out by a sniper played by Jai Courtney, a man studios have been insisting for years is America’s sweetheart (he is, to his credit, doing the best work of his career in this movie). From here we see, in a VERY deliberately staged series of shots, the subsequent police investigation leading to the arrest of a man pointedly not played by Jai Courtney. At the 8:20 mark the first lines of dialogue are recited and one minute and 22 seconds later our protagonist’s presence is first made known.

It begins with a note written by a murder suspect on a legal pad (“GET JACK REACHER,” which is an incredibly rad way to introduce a character named Jack Reacher) followed by the district attorney (Richard Jenkins) and the police detective in charge of the case (David Oyewolo) going over every piece of information they can find on this off-the-grid drifter. By the time Cruise makes his entrance at the film’s 12-minute mark, McQuarrie has so deftly established the legend of Jack Reacher it’s irrelevant that the man who walks through the DA’s office door isn’t 6’5” and 250 pounds; it doesn’t matter because the man who walks through that door is Jack Reacher and the viewer now knows exactly who that is.

To recount the film’s plot from here feels unnecessary (though in case it isn’t, the short of it is that Reacher and James Barr, the man set up to take the fall for the shooting, have a shady history and Reacher is begrudgingly charged with figuring out whether or not Barr is responsible — which Reacher spends most of the movie certain he is). It is a well-plotted mystery thriller but nothing extraordinary on its own. What is extraordinary is everything else about it, from DP Caleb Deschanel’s work behind the camera (the way that he stages the aforementioned shooting through the scope of the sniper’s rifle is inspired) to a stacked cast that includes everyone from Werner Herzog to Robert Duvall. Jack Reacher does everything a movie of its kind is supposed to do, only it does it 10 to 20 percent better than necessary.

A couple of months into Jack Reacher ’s production, Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol hit theaters, proving a smash hit and grossing nearly $700 million worldwide. It began the long process of restoring Cruise’s star status to its former glory and, crucially, gave the franchise a second wind (before McQuarrie’s uncredited rewrites on the script, Cruise’s Ethan Hunt was rumored to be phased out in favor of a new star, Jeremy Renner). With a fifth Cruise-fronted M:I now on the table, McQuarrie stepped in as the franchise’s next director and, in an unprecedented turn of events, stuck around for the next three sequels (2018’s Fallout and Dead Reckoning, Parts One and Two, which are currently in production), making him the only director to have helmed more than one film in the franchise.

Cruise and McQuarrie’s partnership has now been going strong for nearly 15 years. The latter is responsible for some of the best work of Cruise’s late-stage career, and the former got McQuarrie what’s now clearly a much-deserved second chance as a director. Neither would be where they are now without the other, or without a 6’5”, 250-pound ex-military drifter whose pecs are so big they have rendered him immune to bullets.

Tom Cruise and Chris McQuarrie’s partnership is built on the power of “mass entertainment”

The secret to tom cruise's career resurgence is that he just likes making movies that everyone will enjoy.

The creative partnership between Tom Cruise and writer/director Christopher McQuarrie is going to be regarded as one of the most fruitful in Hollywood history, both in terms of how much money they’ve made together and in terms of how well McQuarrie was able to help Cruise resurrect his career and embark on a second act that nobody could’ve possibly seen coming. The two don’t have a perfect record, but even with The Mummy and the forgettable Jack Reacher movies, it’s still hard to argue with their batting average together with the recent Mission: Impossible movies, Top Gun: Maverick , and the unfairly maligned Edge Of Tomorrow .

Related Content

Now, ahead of the release of Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One , McQuarrie has shared some details on what it was like when he and Cruise first met on the set of 2008’s Valkyrie . McQuarrie was a writer on the film, which was about a German plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, and he told The Times that Cruise asked him to rework the script when it became clear that they’d need more money to finish production. Cruise’s plan was to make the movie appeal to as wide an audience as possible, with Cruise sharing a philosophy with McQuarrie that has carried both of them to untold heights since then: “I make mass entertainment.”

It’s a simple idea, but it really does seem to sum up Cruise pretty well: He just wants to make movies that everyone likes. It took some doing to figure out how to make that possible, but he did eventually land on the solution, which involves risking his life in increasingly outrageous ways and starring in movies where he doesn’t play a person as much as he plays… the living manifestation of destiny. It’s similar to Simon Pegg’s friendship with Cruise , where if you try to push it too hard it’ll snap, so you just accept it and be happy.

Tom Cruise talks the making of Mission: Impossible with director Christopher McQuarrie in exclusive interview clip

Exclusive! Director Christopher McQuarrie interviews Tom Cruise to mark the first Mission: Impossible's anniversary

Mission: Impossible is fast approaching its 25th anniversary. To celebrate, Tom Cruise sat down with Mission: Impossible 7 director Christopher McQuarrie to discuss how the first film came into being – and we have an exclusive clip from the conversation between the two.

Cruise brought the role of Ethan Hunt to life in Mission: Impossible, which debuted in '96. It was also the first film the actor had produced.

"I looked at Paramount and I thought what I wanted to produce was something – I looked at it in many different ways… I wanted something that was going to be very commercial, potentially, but I wanted something that was going to be artistically challenging," Cruise explains. 

"What is the challenge of this thing going to be? I wanted it to be an international film, and an international cast," Cruise adds. "Which at that time was different. I wanted to shoot it in England... I remember they said, 'Can't you shoot it in LA, or New York?' And I was like no, I actually, I want to go to London."

Mission: Impossible, directed by Brian De Palma, launched an action-packed, star-studded franchise – with one of cinema's most recognizable theme tunes – and is still going strong all these years later, with the seventh movie in the series set to arrive in 2022 (the pandemic pushed it back from its original July 2021 date).

McQuarrie is both writer and director of the seventh installment, and has previously helmed Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation and Mission: Impossible – Fallout – and is also writing and directing Mission: Impossible 8. 

The seventh movie's cast includes, along with Cruise, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, Vanessa Kirby, Indira Varma, and Angela Bassett.

Christopher McQuarrie Reflects on Tom Cruise’s Viral ‘Mission: Impossible’ Set Outburst: That Was a ‘Very Complicated’ Time

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Hollywood was quick to credit Tom Cruise with saving the film industry in 2022 after the success of “Top Gun: Maverick.” But the actor was trying to carry the weight of the business on his shoulders long before “Maverick” flew into theaters.

In 2020, Cruise’s upcoming blockbuster “ Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part I” was the first major Hollywood film to resume production during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The on-set safety protocols that producers developed provided a model for the rest of the industry to return to work soon after. But Cruise quickly went viral when a video leaked of him berating crew members for standing too close together.

“You can tell it to the people who are losing their fucking homes because our industry is shut down,” Cruise was heard telling the employees who were seen breaking protocol. “It’s not going to put food on their table or pay for their college education. That’s what I sleep with every night – the future of this fucking industry! So I’m sorry, I am beyond your apologies. I have told you, and now I want it, and if you don’t do it, you’re out. We are not shutting this fucking movie down! Is it understood? If I see it again, you’re fucking gone.”

While many were initially shocked to hear Cruise speaking so candidly, much of Hollywood eventually praised the actor for his commitment to safety . And now that the finished film is just months away from finally hitting theaters, the crew is able to reflect on the incident with the benefit of hindsight. In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly , director Christopher McQuarrie recalled the complicated emotions that went into Cruise’s outburst.

“That all took place during a very complicated and a very uncertain time,” McQuarrie said. “Obviously, we’re grateful that people took it the way that it was intended. We were fighting to keep the industry alive, we were fighting to keep people employed, we were fighting for the studio, we were fighting for cinemas, and we still are. We’re still there doing that. I’m just glad people understood the intention behind it.”

“Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part I” opens in theaters on Wednesday, July 12.

Christopher McQuarrie Teases Intense New Secret Tom Cruise Project

Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise have quickly become the Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro of the action genre since teaming up as a directing and acting duo for 2012's "Jack Reacher." The two can't seem to get enough of working together, and they rarely miss. Since "Jack Reacher," they have collaborated on a whopping seven films, with McQuarrie jumping from writing to producing to directing positions on various projects. That number does not include the upcoming "Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning — Part One," "Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning — Part Two," the untitled movie that will reportedly be launching Cruise into space , or 2008's "Valkyrie." 

According to McQuarrie, he and Cruise have yet another collaboration gestating that they plan on tackling after their next "Mission: Impossible" movies, and it sounds like it'll be something completely different for the duo. For those who are keeping score, "Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning — Part Two" isn't scheduled to hit theaters until June 28, 2024, meaning this partnership is showing absolutely zero signs of slowing down. McQuarrie, who won an Oscar scripting "The Usual Suspects" before teaming up with Cruise, teased the project while on the "Mission: Impossible"-themed podcast "Light the Fuse," and though details were scant, fans of the two will definitely be excited for what the director is hinting at.

McQuarrie and Cruise's next picture will be 'gnarlier'

The next project between Christopher McQuarrie and the death-defying Tom Cruise  will show a side of the A-list star fans may not be used to seeing. "It's way outside of what you're used to seeing Tom do. It's the kind of stuff I really love. It's a little bit more in my wheelhouse. And yet it takes everything we've learned on this journey, which is making movies more and more about emotion and real emotional experiences. That's what you're feeling when you're watching 'Top Gun' – it's me and Tom squeezing your adrenals for every emotion. Now we're applying that to something that is gnarlier," the director said on "Light the Fuse," as quoted by  The Wrap . 

He added that the project will still echo the past work of both Cruise and McQuarrie, the latter of whom wrote and directed only one film, "The Way of the Gun," before tackling "Jack Reacher" and then multiple "Mission: Impossible" installments. This unnamed project is being co-scripted by Erik Jendresen, who is currently at work on the "Mission: Impossible" sequels. 

McQuarrie and Cruise's partnership goes all the way back to 2007 with "Valkyrie." Though neither likely predicted what would come, McQuarrie said working in the editing room was what sold him on Cruise as a creative partner. 

"I could see already his understanding of how to put elements together to create an effect on an audience. I said, 'You have to think about making movies that audiences want to see,'" he told  Empire  in 2019. 

‘Mission: Impossible’ Star Simon Pegg Says Tom Cruise and Director Christopher McQuarrie Are Like ‘Lennon and McCartney’

Since “Mission: Impossible III” in 2006, Simon Pegg has been part of the core ensemble of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise, playing hacker and sometime field agent Benji Dunn opposite its stalwart star Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt. Pegg was never going to be the actor risking life and limb on screen — “it’s Benji’s job to be the one that actually says, ‘what the fuck are we doing here?’,” he observes. But over five installments of the indefatigable series, his character has shifted from questioning what Ethan is doing in the moment to believing absolutely in why he’s doing it, thanks in no small part to the writing and directing of Christopher McQuarrie .

Popular on Variety

Thinking about the screenwriting that you’ve done, Chris’ shares in common this very Swiss-watch precision to it.

When Edgar Wright and I write together, we have the Swiss watch laid out on a table and we do it like that. McQ throws it in the air and assembles it as it falls, and it’s extremely educating for me as a filmmaker because it’s the antithesis of what Edgar and I do. That’s partly because a lot of Edgar’s transitions are very precise so we need to know how each scene starts and finishes so that it can dovetail into the next one. But it certainly made me aware that sometimes you can allow the situation to help inform the narrative or the dialogue. That’s because McQ is a master problem solver. If you give him a broken script, he just rubs his hands with glee. If you give him a blank page, he’ll scratch his head. It’s just how he is — he’s an absolute master.

It seems like it shouldn’t be quite so unique for Christopher to be able to deliver these smart, muscular, inventive action movies, but it is. What is it that makes McQ’s creativity so singular?

I think in Tom, he’s just found such a perfect creative partner, someone who can facilitate that way of working, can allow him to practice this extreme method of filmmaking. I remember when we were making “Ghost Protocol” and the script on that just wasn’t very focused, and Tom brought in McQ, a sort of master plumber to re-wriggle the pipes. And it was on that that their creative romance really took off. They’re both eternal students of film and just methods of filmmaking, methods of storytelling, certain camera rigs. I remember when we shot “Rogue Nation,” we were still using film. The cameras were quite cumbersome. Now, you can put a camera on a motorbike and just send it off a cliff and go down and pick it out of the undergrowth. And they’re forever absorbing these new methods of telling the story. So I just think they found each other — in a way that Lennon and McCartney found each other, if I could really hyperbolize.

“Dead Reckoning” feels like it’s ramping up to bring full circle these ideas and themes that the series has been exploring since the very first film. Have there been callbacks or references that you particularly enjoyed being a part of?

Does Chris give you a sense of the road he’s mapping, or do you even need that at this point when you learn the details of, say, Benji’s origin story with the IMF?

McQ’s method of filmmaking is like in Wallace and Gromit’s “The Wrong Trousers” when Gromit is on the top of the train and he’s laying the track in front of the train as it’s moving. I think McQ loves to have the story reveal itself to him, and those beautiful little parallels and callbacks aren’t necessarily preordained — they just kind of present themselves. McQ’s really keen to evolve the story in a very organic way and never to cram anything in. If it feels right, we’ll do it. If it feels like it’s just fan service or it’s just some kind of tenuous link, which doesn’t quite ring true, then it won’t find its way in.

On the other hand, the movie pokes very gentle fun at the idea that the IMF team has gone rogue more than it simply just followed a mission. Have there been other tropes you felt it probably was time to actually admit to as opposed to just sweeping past that choice?

I’m so glad they made the IMF joke in this because the International Monetary Fund has become more of a presence in the news, and it felt like it had to be addressed. But something like the mask gag, which is probably the most absurd thing in all “Mission: Impossible,” the idea that you could literally just immediately look like someone else, I love the fact that we utterly commit to that device in such a way that it rings true. I think if we ever went, wait a minute, how could you look so much like [that person]? It would spoil it. We are not a self-reflexive series. There’s a little bit of that occasionally when it’s required, but I think sometimes being arch reflects a lack of confidence in your own story. If you don’t have the confidence in the absurdity of your story, no one else is going to. And certainly with the mask gag, you’ve just got to commit.

One of the things that you do in this film is ride in a self-driving car. Why would Benji do that if it could be manipulated by The Entity?

That’s why he puts his seatbelt on. We had that thought, and we even spoke about the idea of The Entity hacking the car whilst Benji was in it. But I think he has to just do a Hail Mary and hope The Entity isn’t listening. I mean, fortunately, they’re using kind of analog comms, so with a bit of luck The Entity won’t be able to infiltrate the car. But I think it’s that moment of Benji thinking, you know what? I’m just going to pop on my belt, and that was our a way of saying, yes, we know.

How important are those plot redundancies? Is there a certain threshold where telling a story that’s exciting is more important than every single screw fitting into every little round hole?

After returning to Benji so many times, what are you still learning about the character?

What I love about McQ’s writing is that he’s always very true to the characters. Some people often say, “don’t you want to go and do that crazy stunt?” And it’s like, well, maybe, but would Benji do that kind of thing? He’s not Ethan. It’s Benji’s job to be the one that actually says, “What the fuck are we doing here?” Whereas Ethan’s got to be so focused, he can’t afford to take that pause. But I love the scene in this movie when Benji’s defusing the bomb and it’s starting to kind of grill him about his personal life. It’s both a heartwarming and sinister moment because it’s The Entity kind of drilling into Benji, but at the same time, you understand just how much Benji cares about who’s around him. That character stuff is the secret weapon, I think, of these films. People often make a lot of the stunts, obviously, because Tom’s doing incredibly daring stuff, but what Tom and McQ talk about the most is character, and that’s what they obsess about the most, that’s what they spend the most time working on, is making sure that the people involved in these moments of daring are people that you give a shit about. Because if you don’t, then those stunts will just be hollow.

Part One feels very complete even though obviously Part Two is coming. How much have you filmed of Part Two and what has the flow been from one film to the next?

We’re not shooting in a pandemic, which means it’s not going to take quite as long as the last one did, which is a relief. I can tell you that we’ve already shot stuff which makes part one seem tame. To sit with an audience and watch Part One and know what’s coming, I feel this supreme sense of dramatic irony. It’s going to be extraordinary and surprising and also have the same degree of heart and character and attention to detail that Tom and McQ always bring.

Every Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie Movie Collaboration, Ranked

Mission Impossible 7's director, Christopher McQuarrie, has worked with Tom Cruise on nine other movies and here is how they rank against each other.

Ever since the birth of Hollywood, the majority of filmmakers have had a preference for working with specific actors. Whether it’s Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro or Quentin Tarantino and Samuel L. Jackson, audiences and insiders have accepted that certain Hollywood figures are more likely to look in each other’s direction first before they look at anyone else. And in an industry where clashes between members of the production team are common, it makes sense for someone to stick where camaraderie has already been built.

For Christopher McQuarrie , Tom Cruise has always been the best actor to work with, and in most of their team-ups, the results have been outstanding. Their latest collaboration, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One , has an impressive 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes, qualifying it as one of the most flawless movies of all time. In total, the duo has worked on 10 movies together, and here is how they rank from average to excellent.

10 Jack Reacher (2012)

While it’s great for an actor and filmmaker to have a great professional relationship, it can be disadvantageous, especially when a book is getting adapted to the big screen. Take Jack Reacher as an example, where Christopher McQuarrie chose to cast Tom Cruise in the lead role, yet he doesn’t match the description of the character in Lee Child’s novels. In the books, Reacher is described as a hulking 6’5 tall figure. Cruise, on the other hand, is 5’7 and is nowhere close to being the most ripped star in Hollywood.

In comparison, Prime Video’s Reacher series honors the source material much better and even Lee Child was pleased with Alan Ritchson’s casting in the titular role. Ritchson is 6’2 and muscular like his book counterpart, making him a perfect fit. Besides that, Jack Reacher compresses the events a bit too much, leaving out backstories and secondary antagonists. Nonetheless, Cruise still does a great job of conveying the mannerisms of the ex-US Army Military Police Corps investigator who breaks bones at every turn and makes sure every person pays for their crime.

9 The Mummy (2017)

Mummy-related storylines are arguably more fitting for protagonists that are archeologists or adventurers and so an attempt by McQuarrie (as screenwriter) and director Alex Kutzman to present a story about a soldier who awakens an ancient princess from her tomb didn't resonate with audiences. The Mummy was also meant to kickstart the Dark Universe franchise as a way to cash in on the shared-universe trend, but its failure meant the studio could no longer go ahead with such plans.

RELATED: 8 Directors That Tom Cruise Should Work With Next

Overall, the reboot lacks the humor and campy fun that made the '90s film a huge hit. The mummy also looks more like the villain of a supernatural horror movie, hence alienating younger audiences. As for Tom Cruise, he does nothing worth singling out for criticism, yet the film could have used a better-supporting cast like the original which had Brendan Fraser, Arnold Vosloo, and John Hannah.

8 Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016)

Cruise, McQuarrie, and higher-ups at Paramount Pictures didn’t allow the criticism projected at the first movie to dissuade them, so they chose to continue Jack Reacher’s story. Sadly, in Jack Reacher: Never Go Back , they didn’t do much to convert naysayers into believers and so plans for future follow-ups were put on hold.

Once again, Cruise’s performance is great, and so are the action set pieces, but the story — which revolves around Reacher and a framed army major going on the run — is less entertaining compared to what’s on offer in Man on the Run films like Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest and Tony Scott’s Enemy of the State. In addition to that, the action sequences lack the inventiveness that audiences have come to expect from Cruise in recent years.

7 Valkyrie (2008)

Valkyrie marked the beginning of the duo’s great working relationship though Christopher McQuarrie only served as a screenwriter. There isn’t much to dissect from his work in the war drama since his script mostly sticks to the events as they occurred in real life. As for Cruise, he is phenomenal once again as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg — a German officer that plotted to assassinate Hitler and take over the country during “Operation Valkyrie” in 1944.

However, McQuarrie still favors Cruise by granting him several thought-provoking lines. His character thus ends up looking very honorable, though he has bitten off more than he can chew. A quote such as “You can serve Germany or the Fuhrer, not both!” paints Stauffenberg as someone who understands what’s ailing his country while “I cannot find one general in a position to confront Hitler with the courage to do it!” shows how people in power can be the biggest obstacles to progress. However, the failure to exercise any creative liberties makes Valkyrie indistinguishable from other popular World War II movies that are out there.

6 Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011)

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol marked the film series’ turn from good to excellent. Whereas the first three movies rely on spy tropes and Cruise’s star power, the fourth installment gives each supporting character a chance to shine. Additionally, it presents a much better plot involving the IMF being falsely accused of bombing the Kremlin, hence creating a diplomatic nightmare.

Christopher McQuarrie served as part of a screenwriting team that also included Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec. The trio deserves to be lauded for creating the perfect balance of suspense, drama, and humor as well as coming up with ideas for unique scenes, notably the Burj Khalifa infiltration, which ended up being one of the greatest movie stunts of all time .

5 Edge of Tomorrow (2004)

As the sole screenwriter, McQuarrie uses several unique concepts to create the masterpiece that is Edge of Tomorrow . Though the story is adapted from Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s novel, All You Need To Kill , the writer-writer-director pays homage to a couple of other notable Hollywood works, notably Full Metal Jacket . For instance, the hostile relationship between Major Cage (Tom Cruise) and General Brigham mirrors that of Pyle and Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in the Stanley Kubrick film.

Despite having obvious sources of inspiration, Edge of Tomorrow still distinguishes itself through the time-loop plot that serves as a lesson about persistence and dedication. The more Major Cage is forced to repeat his confrontation with the aliens, the better he becomes at dealing with them. In the end, he emerges victorious.

4 Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)

Rogue Nation is the first Mission Impossible movie that Christopher McQuarrie is fully in charge of and Paramount's decision to grant him complete control ends up working for the better. On this occasion, the director pits the IMF against The Syndicate — a terrorist network consisting of rogue agents.

Just as he did in Ghost Protocol , Christopher McQuarrie makes the movie better by resisting the temptation to give Cruise’s character all the glory. Benji (Simon Pegg) is especially more interesting than he was in previous installments because he not only has funnier lines but is heavily involved in fieldwork. His life is put on the line towards the conclusion of the event too. Besides that, the cinematography is incredibly good, with the Vienna, London, and Casablanca shots all sticking to a viewer’s mind long after the film ends.

3 Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

Before Dead Reckoning, Fallout was widely considered the best installment in the franchise and one doesn’t have to look too hard to see why. The stakes, though familiar are still high, with The Apostles’ leader Solomon Lane hell-bent on detonating a nuclear weapon that might wipe out a third of the world’s population. What really makes the spy flick outstanding is the camerawork.

Great directors have always been known to use unique camera angles and in Fallout , McQuarrie shows just why everything was put under his care. From the motorcycle chase scene in Paris to Ethan and Walker dangerously fighting at the edge of a cliff, everything is brilliantly captured from both a few centimeters and miles away.

2 Top Gun: Maverick (2022)

In Top Gun: Maverick , Christopher McQuarrie once again serves in a writing capacity only, polishing drafts that had already been written by Justin Marks and Peter Craig. This time, he avoids making things too complex and allows the film to glow through the stunts and character chemistry. So simple is the plot that the enemy is never directly named. The only information audiences get is that an unnamed nation is developing an unsanctioned uranium enrichment plant and so the cautious American military needs to destroy it.

The best moments, therefore, come from the aerial dogfights and the training sessions. Maverick pushes himself to the limit, whether he is testing a new jet or flying into enemy territory, and in the process, he creates many memorable scenes. On top of that, there are wholesome friendship and romance plots, creating an overall feel-good atmosphere from start to finish.

1 Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)

Cruise and McQuarrie don’t deviate from the usual formula in Dead Reckoning Part One . There’s still a global threat that the IMF has to stop but this time it’s one that’s more relevant to modern times. An A.I. system known as ‘The Entity” has achieved near-sentient status and is threatening to cause havoc around the world.

Related: Tom Cruise Wouldn't Allow a Cliffhanger Ending for Mission: Impossible 7

Since it’s a computer program, a couple of shady people get associated with it and so Ethan Hunt and his team find themselves hopping from one corner of the world to the next. The stunts are still the movie’s selling points and the actor-director duo keeps them coming, from the standard fight on top of a train to more unusual ones like a motorcycle driving off a cliff.

Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie Set Their Sights on ‘Gnarlier’ Movie After ‘Mission: Impossible 8’

“It’s way outside of what you’re used to seeing Tom do,” McQuarrie teases

“Mission: Impossible – Fallout” writer/director Christopher McQuarrie teased a future project with Tom Cruise that sounds utterly tantalizing on the 200th episode of “Mission: Impossible”-centered podcast Light the Fuse (co-hosted by yours truly alongside Charles Hood).

With McQuarrie — who made his “Mission” directing debut on 2015’s “Rogue Nation” — writing and directing the next two sequels, he appeared on Light the Fuse alongside Cruise to tease the upcoming films and talk about the franchise. And when asked what comes next after “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Part Two” (set for release in the summer of 2024), McQuarrie said he didn’t know, exactly. But there is a new project that McQuarrie and Cruise have started talking about, to be co-written by McQuarrie’s partner Erik Jendresen (who is working on the new “Mission: Impossible” films). “It’s all the same to me, we’re all in every time,” McQuarrie said. “If it works, then we get to make another one.”

But what is this new project?

“It’s kind of under wraps,” McQuarrie demurred. “It has neither a fuse nor a fuselage. Oh that’s not true. It does have some fuselages. It’s something we’ve talked about for a really long time. It’s way outside of what you’re used to seeing Tom do. It’s the kind of stuff I really love. It’s a little bit more in my wheelhouse. And yet it takes everything we’ve learned on this journey, which is making movies more and more about emotion and real emotional experiences. That’s what you’re feeling when you’re watching ‘Top Gun’ – it’s me and Tom squeezing your adrenals for every emotion. Now we’re applying that to something that is gnarlier.”

McQuarrie co-wrote and produced this summer’s “Top Gun: Maverick” and has been a close collaborator of Cruise’s since the two met on 2008’s “Valkyrie” (which McQuarrie co-wrote and produced), directing Cruise for the first time in 2012’s “Jack Reacher.”

This new project, mysterious as it might be, will be somewhat reminiscent of the previous projects the two have worked on together, even if it pushes Cruise and McQuarrie into new territory.

“Look, if it comes out, you will see the ghosts of so many of the movies that I have done or Tom has done or we have done together,” McQuarrie said. “You’ll feel elements of all of that, not through any intention, but somewhat coincidentally. Everything we do, we look at, ‘Oh we could have done that better.’ This is pushing everything through another prism.”

Also of note: the project will be edited by Eddie Hamilton, the wizard behind “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation,” “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” and the two upcoming sequels, as well as “Top Gun: Maverick.” “If he knows what’s good for him,” McQuarrie joked.

Check out the rest of the podcast for interviews with new cast member Nick Offerman, Mark Gatiss, Glen Powell, Greg Tarzan Davis, Danny Ramirez, along with McQuarrie, Jendresen, Cruise and Hamilton.

Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie Planning New Film Projects, Including a Musical

The duo is riding high on the success of 'Top Gun: Maverick'.

As Top Gun: Maverick soars to success, passing a billion dollars at the global box office (it's up to $1.35 billion now), the masterminds behind the movie, actor Tom Cruise and writer Christopher McQuarrie are hatching new plans to keep the audience entertained. Per Deadline , the duo is in the early stages of setting up three very different film projects.

First is an original song and dance style musical that they are planning as a star vehicle for Cruise, which seems a refreshing option after the massive success of Top Gun . The duo is also focusing on a new original action film with franchise potential and reportedly, they are also fixated on Les Grossman. Fans will remember Grossman as the fat, balding studio head Cruise played in a cameo for 2008 Tropic Thunder. However, it is not clear at the moment whether Grossman would be reprised in his own movie or for inclusion in either the musical or the action film. Cruise has been long interested in doing a musical, and fans have responded well to his singing in 2012s Rock of Ages . All three aforementioned scripts are to be written by McQuarrie in collaboration with Cruise.

While, Top Gun: Maverick is the latest triumph from the duo, Cruise and McQuarrie’s chemistry dates back to 2008’s Valkyrie . In 2011 McQuarrie retooled Ethan Hunt’s character arc for Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, subsequently paving the way for future sequels. Cruise shared his fondness for the filmmaker in a previous interview saying,

McQ understood, most definitely, not only that franchise but just a basis of storytelling, and a wide range of storytelling. He understands that with structure and tension, with suspense in a structure, you can have comedy, you can have drama, and so that’s where we went... I’ve loved my working with McQ - he and I met on Valkyrie - and it’s just been an exceptional experience working with him. …you read his scripts and his ability, his sense of storytelling and logic, and sense of personal adventure, and willingness to never give up and explore character and story under tremendous amounts of pressure that he loves, he actually thrives on it.

Pending is an untitled film that Cruise intends to make with director Doug Liman and McQuarrie as producer, which is reported to be shot in space. However, coming up next from the duo is Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One and its sequel. McQuarrie is back at the helm to write, produce, and direct, as Ethan Hunt goes on another action-packed adventure. If Top Gun ’s success is any indicator Dead Reckoning is going to be another crown jewel in the Cruise-McQuarrie partnership.

There is no further information available about the three film projects. Meanwhile, check out the Dead Reckoning teaser below:

Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie break down the 'most dangerous' stunt they've done for latest 'M:I' film

"i've wanted to do it since i was a little kid," cruise says of driving a motorcycle over a cliff in "mission: impossible - dead reckoning part one.".

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Tom Cruise is breaking down his latest death-defying Mission: Impossible stunt.

Over the course of seven films, the series has become known for its dangerous and elaborate stunts almost always performed by Cruise himself . And his latest mission, Dead Reckoning Part One , is no exception, with stunts like speed flying — a more dangerous form of skydiving — and car chases through the cobblestone streets of Italy on the docket. Plus, the biggest stunt of them all that includes a motorcycle jump off a cliff into a base jump.

On Wednesday's Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One “Creating the Impossible” special, Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie went deep on the film’s signature sequence, which begins with Cruise driving a motorcycle down a giant ramp and right off the edge over a cliff, where he lets go of the bike as it falls to a crash and he eventually opens a parachute.

“I’ve wanted to do it since I was a little kid,” Cruise said of the jump. “It all comes down to one thing: the audience.”

The stunt was filmed in Norway where a group of engineers and technicians constructed a ramp on the top of a mountain that took “a number of months” to build, according to McQuarrie, with all of the supplies being brought in by helicopter. The director pointed out that if Cruise was to be blown off course while trying to drive down the ramp it would result in a terrible accident. Once he’s off the bike and doing the base jump, Cruise is surrounded by what’s described as a “rock bowl” where he has to deploy his parachute and try to move himself away from the mountain.

“We’ve been working on this for years,” Cruise said. “You train and drill over and over and over and over again. With a jump like this, the challenge is finding the cameras, it’s the amount of preparation, and then it’s the weather.”

Luckily the weather definitely cooperated on shoot day. After parachuting out of a helicopter near the end of the ramp to get his body warmed up and to gauge the elements, Cruise went on to perform the actual stunt six straight times in one day, with each attempt just as breathtaking as the one before it.

All of the previous six films in the franchise have a signature stunt or two that helps set them apart from the others. And for Dead Reckoning Part One , the hope is that this is that stunt. That is, until they start filming Dead Reckoning Part Two .

“This is far and away the most dangerous thing we’ve ever attempted,” McQuarrie said. “The only thing that scares me more is what we have planned for Mission 8 .”

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One premieres Wednesday, July 12 in theaters.

They are still in the thick of Mission: Impossible 8 — Cruise was recently photographed in the UK’s Lake District practicing what appears to be his next death defying stunt, something called ‘speed flying’ — sources said that Cruise and McQuarrie are hatching three new film projects. One is an original song and dance-style musical they’ll craft as a star vehicle for Cruise. They are also setting up another original action film with franchise potential, and they are also fixated on Les Grossman . The latter is the gruff, dance-happy studio executive Cruise played in cameo for Tropic Thunder . It’s unclear if they will create a whole movie around Grossman, or borrow him for inclusion in either of the other vehicles.

The Director Of The ‘Mission: Impossible’ Movies Shared A Death-Defying New Tom Cruise Stunt Photo For His 60th Birthday

It’s hard to believe, but Tom Cruise turned 60 on Sunday, and yet he’s still doing things people half his age wouldn’t dare. The actor, producer, and movie theater enthusiast currently has the biggest hit of his career , which is still Hoovering up cash money. His next two films are both action extravaganzas, in which he repeatedly puts his life at risk, just to entertain. Speaking of, the director of the last two — and the next two — Mission: Impossible entries rang in the occasion by sharing a bonkers on-set photo.

https://twitter.com/chrismcquarrie/status/1543571296604364801

Christopher McQuarrie took over Cruise’s long-running franchise starting with 2015’s Rogue Nation . Before that, the series always changed directors with each film. (Brian De Palma directed the first, John Woo the second, etc.) But Cruise has stuck with McQuarrie ever since. For Cruise’s big 6-0, McQuarrie dropped a photo of yet another death-defying stunt: Cruise (presumably!) hanging onto a plane mid-air as it flips on its side, miles above the planet’s surface.

The first Mission: Impossible film came out 26 years ago, when Bill Clinton hadn’t yet won a second term. It was the first full-on action movie Cruise had ever done. ( Top Gun 1 and Days of Thunder saw him mostly sitting in moving vehicles.) He was 34 years old, and some 15 years into his film career. Anyway, now he’s older than Wilford Brimley in Hard Target and Sean Connery in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Happy belated birthday, Tom!

"Mission Impossible 8": Tom Cruise a tourné cette semaine des cascades à Paris

Tom Cruise est de retour à Paris. La star hollywoodienne a été aperçue jeudi 25 avril dans la soirée, non loin de l'Arc de triomphe en train de tourner des scène du huitième volet de Mission Impossible .

Plusieurs vidéos publiées sur X (ex-Twitter) montrent le comédien réalisant comme à l'accoutumée ses propres cascades à moto, avenue Carnot dans le XVIIe arrondissement. Sur d'autres photos, il tourne sous le pont de Bir Hakeim.

Tom Cruise avait déjà tourné à Paris une mémorable scène de course poursuite dans Mission Impossible 6 . Le tournage avait eu lieu entre l'avenue de Saxe, la Tour Eiffel et le canal Saint-Martin.

Suite directe de Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning sortie en 2023, le huitième volet des aventures d'Ethan Hunt est en tournage depuis plusieurs mois. Sa date de sortie est prévue pour mai 2025.

Une star de "Ted Lasso" au générique

Le casting réunit autour de Tom Cruise des acteurs et actrices déjà apparus dans le précédent volet: Henry Czerny, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Pom Klementieff et Vanessa Kirby.

D'autres comédiens les ont récemment rejoints: Tramell Tillman ( Severance ), Katy O’Brian ( Love Lies Bleeding ), Nick Offerman ( Parks and Recreation ) et Hannah Waddingham ( Ted Lasso ).

• Tom Cruise veut continuer à tourner "Mission Impossible" jusqu'à ses 80 ans

L'histoire de Mission Impossible 8 , réalisé comme le précédent volet par Christopher McQuarrie, est encore inconnue. Dead Reckoning suivait l'enquête d'Ethan Hunt pour stopper une machine d'intelligence artificielle capable de détruire le monde.

Mission Impossible 8 : 61 ans et en grande forme, Tom Cruise tourne à Paris

Tom Cruise a été filmé à Paris, près des Champs-Elysées, pour une scène d'action à moto de "Mission: Impossible 8". L'action de la suite de "Dead Reckoning" se déroulera donc en partie dans la Capitale française.

Après avoir couru à toute allure dans les rues de Londres , Tom Cruise est à Paris pour le tournage de Mission: Impossible 8. Un internaute a posté sur son compte Instagram une vidéo de l'acteur en plein tournage avenue Carnot, près des Champs Elysées.

On y voit le comédien de 61 ans conduire une moto sur laquelle est accrochée un grand drapeau blanc avec l'Arc de triomphe dans le dos.

D'autres photos montrent Tom Cruise sur le pont Bir Hakeim. Le compte Twitter de fans Tom Cruise News constate d'ailleurs que l'acteur est habillé de la même manière que sur la vidéo de promotion de Mission : Impossible 7 qui avait été dévoilée lors du ComicCon de 2022 et la vidéo de la chute libre de l'acteur depuis un avion piloté par Christopher McQuarrie pour fêter le succès de Top Gun :Maverick . Ces séquences aériennes se retrouveront-elles dans Mission : Impossible 8 ?

Ethan Hunt et Paris : une histoire d'amour

Ce n'est pas la première fois qu'un film de la franchise est tourné à Paris puisque le tout premier volet Mission: Impossible sorti en 1996 comportait quelques scènes filmées dans la Capitale française. Plus récemment, Mission: Impossible - Fallout a également choisi Paris comme toile de fond, avec une scène de course poursuite épique. Suite aux attentats de 2015, le réalisateur Christopher McQuarrie avait souhaité faire de Paris l'un des décors de Fallout afin de rendre hommage à la ville et ses policiers.

Suite directe de Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Partie 1 , MI8 nous promet ainsi de nouvelles courses poursuites effrénées. Ethan Hunt aborde ici un look différent de celui de Dead Reckoning puisque sa coupe de cheveux nette et son costume 3 pièces ont fait place à un pantalon beige, une veste en cuire et des cheveux mi-longs.

L'histoire de Mission: Impossible 8 est encore inconnue mais s'agissant d'une seconde partie on sait qu'il sera question de trouver ce que la clé ouvre : le code source de l'Entité, enfouie avec le sous-marin qui la transporte.

D'un budget de 291 millions de $, Dead Reckoning Partie 1 a rapporté 567 millions de billets verts au box-office international, c'est moins que ce que le studio espérait. La seconde partie, sobrement rebaptisée Mission : Impossible 8 fera-t-elle mieux ? Réponse dès le 21 mai 2025.
