00:07seven movies in Mission Impossible just keeps getting better what is it about
00:11these films that continues to endure I think just because I mean particularly
00:15lately Tom and McHugh have just established this amazing creative
00:19partnership and they just keep pushing each other you know initially it was a
00:22film series about different directors and eclectic series of one-offs and now
00:26it's like this continuing story which just gets stronger and more sort of
00:31accomplished with age it is one of those movies and franchises that continues to
00:36evolve with the times and even in this movie the villain is kind of a sentient
00:39AI not to get too philosophical but do you think there's anything we can learn
00:43from dead reckoning about the dangers of AI maybe how to fight it it depends where
00:48its source code is I suppose but I think yeah AI is definitely a bit of a it's on
00:53our minds isn't it yeah it's scary scares me but at the moment it's just an
00:59aggregator of stuff you know it's not as clever as everyone thinks it is maybe
01:02I mean this is your fifth film in Mission Impossible franchise yeah what made Dead
01:06Reckoning different from ones you've done in the past
01:11you know everything was different this one was particularly different just
01:16because we took on a whole new group of actors like a bulletproof new bulletproof
01:21cast which were made amazing people to work with also we shot it at a very you
01:26know trying time it was through 2020 stay in the bubble and travel to all
01:30these different locations as you know it's like almost like a school trip yeah
01:33the whole thing so it felt different all the way it took longer it was a more of a
01:39challenge you know but in that I think we all rose to it and it kind of that's
01:42reflected in the movie you mentioned it there but obviously there is a lot of new
01:45cast members some fantastic ones probably one of my favorite parts of this whole
01:48movie thank you your character is an absolute weapon what kind of training
01:52did you do for this role so I did a lot of training with Wade Eastwood who's the
01:57stunt coordinator for this movie he worked on the previous movies he's amazing I
02:01had to do some you know fight training so I did some sorts of trainings you know to
02:08find the the fight style of the character at some point I did some katana
02:11training sword training kicking punching and there's like some stuff that you
02:15just you just do it by just doing it you train for everything you have to be
02:19ready you know and then you just do it and right before the take I would sing
02:23do do do do do action and then just run and jump between carriages you know as
02:30you do as you do as one does you have to do it now there is one one fight scene
02:33that I really enjoyed of yours where you and another henchman kind of have Tom
02:36Cruise cornered in an alleyway yeah and it was very reminiscent to me of a movie
02:40that you've been in past in old boy with the corridor scene in your kind of mind
02:44what's what makes the anatomy of a great fight scene I mean you know it's it's
02:50what I learned really with a McHugh and Tom you know it's all about character and
02:55it's all about what the audience is gonna feel and about the the connection and
02:59like sometimes you know it's not about the justified choreo and some cool
03:03movements you know sometimes what is important is like when when the actors are
03:07exhausted one is on the floor one is you know walking dangerously towards the
03:14other is like all these bits you know that touch you you know now I have to ask
03:19Tom Cruise is he contractually obligated to wear aviator sunglasses or does he just
03:23wear that to prove how much better he looks he looks damn good he looks cruel with these glasses
03:27he's you know he's the he's the don when it comes to aviator wearing that's it and
03:33that's sixty years old you have to be in awe of the guy right he's sixty yeah as far as
03:38my research
03:38tells me so when we went to his birthday party last year he said he was forty but what's it
03:44like to
03:45work with him as a as an actor and as a filmmaker oh it's a ride you know it's that
03:49you're getting to
03:49work with probably the last great movie star of his kind you know there is no one else like him
03:55and
03:55and uh it's it's you just count yourself lucky you're there for you know you strap in you climb on
04:02not on him obviously that would be weird strapping on him um no he's um he's so inspiring you know
04:09and
04:09he's very generous and very supportive and he wants every other character to shine in the movie you
04:14know so he's um he's amazing question for you both what's your favorite mission impossible stunt
04:20stunt i mean it's got to be the motorcycle off the cliff for me and this one just because it
04:25was
04:25such an incredible thing to behold i mean i've been there for quite a few of his big stunts over
04:29the years but this one we were both there weren't we yeah it was beautiful yeah it was incredible i
04:34mean just terrifying you know for us as well as him but just it's hard to put it into words
04:41we were
04:41there watching it and he'd go off the end and disappear and then just be silence for like maybe
04:46five seconds and we'd just be waiting to hear whether or not his shoe had opened not that that
04:50was the end of the danger because he could still be pulled into the mountain at that point but
04:53when we got the good canopy yeah it was like oh my god but also in the movie it's shot
04:58in a way that
04:59you just like you hold your breath and with the music and you're like oh what's gonna happen you feel
05:03the air on your skin almost you know he delivers a line in free fall yeah the the the way
05:08that they
05:09shot that i mean you know obviously he was falling with a with another accomplished space jumper
05:13and the fact that he delivers a line not only a line but quite a funny line whilst in free
05:18fall
05:19who else does that nobody amazing well pump simon thank you so much for the time the movie's great
05:24thanks until next time abiento
