Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One was changed by Edgar Wright’s advice.
The seventh movie in Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible series is premiering soon. This action spy film, written and directed by franchise veteran Christopher McQuarrie, features Ethan Hunt and the IMF team tracking down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity if it falls into the wrong hands.
“Edgar came to one of the later screenings [of the film], and asked one simple question about a specific sound – kind of an audio cue – and I thought I’d addressed that note. It was so obvious to me. But it wasn’t obvious to Edgar,” said McQuarrie.
“And when I asked the audience, it wasn’t obvious to them either. Nobody thought to bring it up until Edgar did. And that changed the entire movie. It changed the entire movie for the better. You just need honesty and clarity and awareness. No one person, Tom [Cruise] included, can really sit there, and look at the movie 24 hours a day, objectively. Tom and I will just look one another in the eye, and say, ‘do we want to change this? Or is this what we prefer?'”
