Below are a few brief excerpts from a lengthy report over at Hero Complex on Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. With the movie less than two months away, we're sure to get even more great interviews, photos, TV spots and more in the coming weeks!
On Moving From Being An Animation Director To A Live Action Movie:
"I’m not like some animation directors and like, 'Thank God I’m out of animation and sitting at the adult’s table, I’m tired of sitting at the kid’s table.' I have other ideas I’d love to do in animation. My ideal career from here would be to jump back and forth and let the project dictate what medium I work in. To me it’s all storytelling."
On How Ghost Protocol Relates To The Past Mission Impossible Movies:
One of my favorite moments acting-wise were the scenes he did with Vanessa Redgrave; he kind of came alive in a slightly different way. You could tell he had a lot of respect for Redgrave and knew that he had to be on his game because she was going to get every drop out of her part of the scene, so he better get every drop of his. There was a playfulness to those scenes together that I really liked. When you see the [new] film, it’s a little more playful than the other ‘Mission: Impossible’ films — hopefully without undermining the suspense or action."
Meanwhile, Tom Cruise praised Brad Bird's
"understanding of composition to forward the story and character and a great sense of fun," adding that he's,
"a very special storyteller". For more from the actor on the development of the first
