On Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol Being More Of A Reboot Than Sequel:

"It’s a rebirth for the series. In the same way with what they’ve done with Spider-Man. I feel like it’s a reinvigoration of this particular story. It was a series when it was on TV, so it’s a story that can have so many iterations. There are so many adventures to get into with this team of impossible mission fighters."


On New Cast Members Jeremy Renner And Paula Patton:

"Yes, Jeremy and Paula, and Tom goes without saying. I can honestly say that Jeremy and Paula are fantastic in this movie and it’s been a hoot working with them. They’re both such fun and both amazing. But I think the real key to this picture is Brad Bird who they brought in to direct."


On The Fact The Movie Will Be Directed By Someone With A Background In Animated Features:

"What they’ve done is they’ve brought in a director who’s never done live action before but who’s had a 100 percent hit rate for his previous movies: Ratatouille, The Incredibles, and The Iron Giant are all just five star films. Brad has just brought that sensibility to this film. And the fact that’s it’s Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, it’s not Mission Impossible 4."


Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is set to be released on December 16, later this year!
