Chris McQuarrie Altered 'Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning's Villain to Avoid 'Lord of the Rings' Comparisons
The Big Picture Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One does something distinctly different with the long-running action franchise, by bringing in a villain that's altogether new for Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt and his faithful band of IMF agents to contend with: Artificial intelligence.
The Entity takes on the form of a digital circle that pulsates, resembling an eye, with blue light shining from it. It's effective, particularly during a nightclub scene in Venice set up by the Entity itself. But as McQuarrie has revealed to Empire, the original design of the AI had to be tweaked after some friends and family pointed out that the villain looked like it might be looking for Hobbits, not Hunt.
