When the eighth Mission: impossible The movie changed its title to “The final count“We all had the same thought: Tom Cruise’s character, Ethan Hunt, would die. It would have been the most obvious way to add a little real purpose to the franchise, but We now know that this does not happen. Instead, Ethan lives, As his jury enemy does, The entity. And in a new interview, writer-director Christopher Mcquarrie discussed these crucial decisions and many others.
In a spread and full of spoiler conversation with EmpireMcquarrie admitted that he played with the idea of killing his main character and even had an idea of how to do it. “Everything is on the table,” said Mcquarrie. “There was a time in the edition of the final sequence of the film where Ethan turned to that cloud of clouds where I thought,” If he was now cut off his grave right now, you would feel that the sacrifice was enough. Wow, that is very, very effective. “
Ultimately, however, he did not think that killing Ethan would have served the story in the right way. “The idea of a conclusion of a story is the death of this character … they are not one and the same,” said Mcquarrie. “When you fully link the story, the story ceases to be. And that’s not life. Stories continue, whether or not the movies do it.”
Which of course leaves the door open to get more Assignment Movies. “I believe (Assignment) Is it in my rear viewing mirror? I mean, “McQuarrie said, adding the warning that” Tom Cruise is a force of nature and very, very complicated. “
Another fascinating decision made by Mcquarrie at the end of Final reward It was the one who did not defeat the unstoppable AI, the entity. Guillermo del Toro, winner of Oscarscar, said he wanted the entity to call when it was defeated (another revelation of the interview), but Mcquarrie chose not to do it and chose not to kill -at all. Instead, only a decision McQuarrie made as a comment on AI in general
“The genius cannot be put back in the bottle,” Mcquarrie said about Ai. “The experts really experienced in this field, who have been with him since his childhood, told me the only way you could never fight the AI is with the AI. Never went away. Destroying the entity was actually an empty and empty idea was emotionally emotionally in the movie, and so was the end.”
Whether or not you agree with the Mcquarrie’s thinking process here, and we do it above all, it is refreshing to hear it explaining why the decision was made. These are things he and his team clearly thought of his disposal and no decision was made lightly.
