Past simple

- They lost their (bleep) the end of the movie, for sure.

- I'm so glad, I'm so pleased to hear people responding

- That's what I wanted to talk with you about.

If I'm the Bond producers I'm watching that

third act, I'm going "This (bleep) just topped us."

Can you talk about, like I felt like I was watching

a Star Wars movie, in that, not to impose a Twitter (bleep)

in that inner cutting across like three spheres of action

And, I was just wondering like how did you lock in on that?

- Early concept was you had all of these characters

and I had to give them all their things to do.

So, the entire third act, I knew what Tom was going

He was going to be flying in this helicopter.

But, that his flying in a helicopter didn't mean

anything if it didn't have some immediate impact

on things that were happening on the ground.

And, the whole movie became about how do I engineer

a sequence where the team all has things to do

and if any one member of that team was removed

And, even then I only had the vaguest sense of it

going into that village days before we shot it.

- Like, that sequence just in it with the IMAX scope to it

like is that, on an Empire podcast you said last year

that you showed Tom a picture of something

and he said, "I can't wait to fall off that."

- We had figured out the helicopter sequence

and we knew that it was going to end on a cliff somewhere.

But, we couldn't find a cliff like that anywhere

New Zealand everything was sloping downward.

And, I kept saying to the location guy, "not something

"It needs to be something he can fall off."

And, he brought me that picture and when I brought it

And, the trick became how to create the helicopter

sequence so that it would end on that mountain

And, that really was the big challenge of that sequence.

- And, I love that, I mean I think if that sequence

has any theme it's like subverting expectation.

'Cause you're sitting there and you're like

Ethan's going to get out of the helicopter

like was that something like, 'cause I know these movies

So, is that something that you're coming up with

- It really became, it became the demands of

And, we wanna have this helicopter chase between

And, Benji when he asked that question saying,

"If he's in another helicopter how are you gonna get it?"

And so, a lot of what you see the team going through,

that's why when I introduced the film last night

I said, "Watching a Mission Impossible movie,

"the experience of watching it is very much like

A lot of times we put together these sequences

not knowing how we're gonna solve these problems.

And, it's always just about doing it in a way

that just feels real enough 'cause they're so outrageous.

- Right, and what I like that question, another question

that's asked in the film addition to how the hell

Is not a question but I love that Ethan says

And, was that a conscious effort from you?

- From the very beginning, when Tom asked me to come back

I said, "But a new director has come on for every one,

And he said, "Precedents are made to be broken."

I said, "All right, well I'll come back but I wanna

"I want it to feel like a different director.

"And, I wanna make a very different movie
