We chat with MissionImpossible - Dead Reckoning Part One star simonpegg about Benji's evolution, Tom Cruise's stunt preparation, and an AI-based weapon:
Ethan Hunt and his IMF team will face their most dangerous mission yet in Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One. When a powerful new weapon threatens the fate of the world, Ethan Hunt will do whatever it takes to keep it out of the wrong hands. However, when enemies from his past return, Ethan is forced to put the mission first, even above those he loves.
Simon Pegg: Well, I've seen him grow from being a lab technician to a field agent; from a very sort of wet-behind-the-ears new guy in the field to now being this sort of legacy character that's much more mature and much more capable, but still very human character. Simon Pegg: You'd be amazed. When we started making the film, McQ told me about the idea for the villain, and I thought, "This is perfect. This is so Mission: Impossible.” Mission: Impossible's always been about technology and about masks and gadgets, and this feels like... “Yeah, of course.” But as we were making it, it suddenly became more and more prescient and felt more and more like a reflection of what is happening now in society.
Simon Pegg: I love the way that Hayley's character, Grace, is such an outsider. She knows nothing of the IMF. She's not even a spy. She's just a force of chaos, I guess, and that really comes across in her relationship to the situation and her relationship with Ethan. She's incredibly capable, so she's not a sort of a character who's a fish out of water in that respect, but the dynamic between Grace and Ethan is lovely.
Tom Cruise can drive almost any vehicle on Earth. He knows how to fly planes, fly helicopters, and he’s done most of his own stunts. I actually feel he has the skillsets to be a real spy. Is Tom Cruise a real spy? Simon Pegg: Every time we get to the end of a film, I’m always asked, “How can you top this?” And I always reply, “I have no idea.” And then we always do. The fact is Tom and McQ just get their heads together, and Tom suggests something he’s always wanted to do, usually. And then they figure it out.
