The film entered service in 1996 and Brian De Palma was hired to direct. He followed in the footsteps of Bruce Geller’s popular TV series, which he had been a fan of since childhood. Tom Cruise returns for the seventh time with his most beloved character, Mission Impossible Force agent Ethan Hunt, in the new film Mission: Impossible. He produced Dead Reckoning Part One (in theaters July 12 through Eagle Pictures) with director and artistic partner Christopher McQuarrie, with whom he has worked for 16 years. Together, to quote Steven Spielberg, they saved cinemas thanks to the box office success of Top Gun: Maverick. Here they fight against the global threat of criminal use of artificial intelligence. Featuring Cruise embroiled in a grueling “four-dimensional chess game against an algorithm” and a villain named Gabriel presenting an elusive puzzle while never losing his penchant for more material challenges. Like jumping off a Norwegian mountain on a motorcycle and parachute, running over the carriages of the Orient Express, or being chased through the streets of central Rome on a yellow 500 by a war-ready Hummer, between the Colosseum and Via Roma the Imperial Forums and the Trinità dei Monti (one of the balustrades of the staircase will crumble into a thousand pieces, thank God only virtual), defying death between Venetian bridges and Sottoporteghi.
With Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, the cast – veterans Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, Vanessa Kirby, newcomers Hayley Atwell, Esai Morales, Pom Klemenieff and even the resurrected Henry Czerny – toured the world: Norway, Abu Dhabi, the desert, the Austrian Alps. But the Italian locations are the ones the promotion focuses on, with the world premiere tonight in Rome with Tom and colleagues on two red carpets, in the afternoon in Piazza di Spagna, then in the Auditorium della Conciliazione (where the screening will take place) . held), then guests of honor at the party on the Caffarelli Terrace of the Capitoline Museums. “Rome is definitely the most challenging place to shoot action scenes,” the director tells Corriere, “the streets are narrow, the cobblestones create unpredictable effects.” The Fiat 500? A pure coincidence. At the time of Mission: Impossible. Fallout in Paris, I saw one, it hit me and I took a picture. I thought about using it sooner or later. When I got to Rome I found a yellow car parked, it was like the city itself suggested it to me.” Five years ago, Fallout grossed $791 million. In a few weeks, we’ll know if Cruise repeated the feat at the box office. The film is divided into two parts. “We had never done this before, the complexity required it,” explains Cruise, “the scale of both is epic in every way.” His spirit with all the directors involved – De Palma, John Woo, JJ Abrams, Brad Bird – is the same remained. Risk everything, true to the motto: “Don’t be careful, be prepared”. “When I needed money as a boy, I had to learn how to mow. In my films I had to learn how to fly a helicopter, drive through traffic, jump out of a plane or drive down a mountain.” While 1996’s ‘Mission Impossible’ looked to the future and saw promising technological devices that could bring us today make you smile because of their obsolescence, the seventh chapter deals with the current topic of artificial intelligence, but looks to the past. We celebrate the great beauty of Rome and Venice and pay tribute to iconic objects from the analogue world, the 500, the Zippo and magnetic tapes. A touch of nostalgia that encourages emotional involvement, according to McQuarrie. fans too. I’m already looking forward to the second part of Dead Reckoning. On paper the last chapter. But never say never. Even with Ethan Hunt.
