The Stunts, Masks, and Making of ‘Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One’

The cast of ’Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One’ 2023 reveal just how close to impossible the film’s stunt work really was. Pom Klementieff (Paris) ran on top of a moving train for the movie, while Hayley Atwell (Grace) had to hang from that same train after the whole locomotive goes off the tracks. Simon Pegg (Benji) admits that watching Tom Cruise (Ethan Hunt) jump a motorcycle off a mountain was absolutely terrifying, and writer/director Christopher McQuarrie divulges that every single stunt was an unbelievable feat of filmmaking for him. Then, Vanessa Kirby (The White Widow), Shea Whigham (Jasper Briggs), and Greg Tarzan Davis (Degas) join in to brainstorm their dream stunt for Tom Cruise to pull off as Ethan Hunt. #missionimpossible #missionimpossibledeadreckoning #tomcruise SUBSCRIBE | WATCH MORE | Burning Questions Ask Each Other Anything Fan Q&A FOLLOW ALONG | TikTok Instagram Twitter Facebook 00:00 Intro 0:11 Can Hayley Atwell outrun Tom Cruise? 1:48 Simon Pegg on joining ‘Mission Impossible’ 2:56 Creating Vanessa Kirby’s face mask 3:33 WWYD with a Tom Cruise face mask for a day 5:53 Finding the style of ‘Mission Impossible’ 7:38 The high stakes of stunts 10:38 What’s next for Ethan Hunt? 12:37 Becoming a ‘Mission Impossible’ villain 13:25 Writing A.I. into the script 14:13 Not using de-aging technology 15:12 How will ‘Mission Impossible’ end?
