Rebecca Ferguson || Mission: Impossible Fallout interview

[gaycavilltheorists-blog]

Know what's sad? As you say, unless smoking has ruined his voice like "happiness" ruined his face, he actually would make a good narrator for audio books. He's just too fucking insecure. Remember that Argylle music video? Where everyone was having fun with it but him who looked like he was being held at gunpoint? It's part of why he's such a shit actor, he's so concerned about not looking like an idiot he won't take risks. It's also why he has such a dismal resume, he clearly won't take smaller roles or indie movies that won't show him off as the a-lister he still thinks he is.

What's strange is during Mission Impossible fallout promotions and interviews he was fun...

He was having a good time reading the thirsty tweets in a YouTube video and a british word game with simon pegg for vanity Fairs YouTube channel and even on that Korean game show Running Man that He, Simon and Curise went on. They played silly games and had a ball, shug he has definitely changed for the worse because of the dirty whore... She's decimating what soul and happiness he has left.

It doesn't look good shug if he continues this way.

But, he choose it, now he must suffer the consequences...

Henry Cavill Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ

Henry Cavill breaks down his most iconic characters, including his roles in 'Man of Steel,' 'The Witcher,' 'Mission Impossible: Fallout,' 'Enola Holmes,' 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,' 'Immortals,' 'The Tudors' and 'The Count of Monte Cristo.'

[rebeccalouisaferguson]

This interview was conducted in July 2023.

After a five-year hiatus, prolonged due to the pandemic, Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt and team are back for the seventh instalment Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. Shrouded in secrecy, the plot and character details are very much being kept under wraps with little being known about it beyond the crazy action sequences shown off in the trailer. From Tom Cruise riding a motorcycle off a cliff in Norway to drifting a bright yellow Fiat 500 around the streets of Rome whilst Cruise and franchise newcomer Hayley Atwell are handcuffed to each other, Dead Reckoning Part One has somehow managed to step up from the heights of Fallout to provide yet another impossible mission. This time, Ethan Hunt and his IMF team must track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens the whole world if it falls into the wrong hands.

Thankfully, Ethan’s not alone. Alongside him for the ride is the return of Simon Pegg’s Benji, Ving Rhames’ Luther, Rebecca Ferguson’s Ilsa, Vanessa Kirby’s mysterious White Widow and Henry Czerny’s former head of the IMF Eugene Kittridge who hasn’t been seen since the first Mission film. Joining the cast are Esai Morales as the film’s main villain, Cary Elwes, Mark Gatiss, Rob Delaney, Pom Klementieff and Hayley Atwell. The cast for the new film is certainly a force to be reckoned with.

Hayley Atwell’s character Grace is set to feature prominently alongside Cruise and is a character that Atwell described as “consistently inconsistent and unpredictable.” Christopher McQuarrie, director of Missions 5,6,7 and next year’s 8, has known for some time that he’s wanted to work with Atwell. After seeing her on stage in London 10 years ago he told her “That thing that you can do on stage, I want it. I don’t know where to put it, I don’t know what the character is yet, but I want to work with you.” But the process of writing Hayley Atwell into a Mission film hasn’t been that straightforward.

When it comes to writing a Mission film, the bare bones are there, and the key action sequences are confirmed but there isn’t a full script for the cast and crew to work with. McQuarrie allows the actors to shape their characters. “Apart from essential plot points of her, it was up for grabs really about things I could offer them, things I could suggest, and ideas I could throw out,” described Atwell. It was a liberating process for Atwell because of the safe space created by McQuarrie and Cruise. “There was no such thing as wrong, or bad, or judgement, or mistakes. There was just making choices and trying new things,” Atwell added. “What they’re doing is exceptional, and their ambition for the piece means they’re only ever going to use things that really elevate the story.”

Working without a script might be challenging for some actors, but it’s certainly not an impossible mission for those involved in the franchise. Getting to have that collaborative effort to create characters — particularly characters that are new to the franchise — is a really exciting opportunity for the cast. Hot off the heels of playing Mantis in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Pom Klementieff is already joining another franchise and Klementieff describes working on Mission as like a dance due to the way in which everyone on set, from the actors to the costume department, to hair and makeup, are all bringing ideas and working together to help shape the characters and to help shape the story of the film. Klementieff would come to set each day with no idea what they were shooting, and she’d ask McQuarrie “Who do I kill today?” and the two of them would work together to come up with how her character would go about achieving her mission and working with the props department to ensure that everything worked for the character and for the story.

It’s a testament to the creative minds of McQuarrie and Cruise and everyone involved to be able to create something so immense, without having it all entirely locked down in the first place. For Rebecca Ferguson, that’s what’s so exciting about the Mission Impossible franchise. “We just don’t work with scripts,” said Ferguson. Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie have this incredible story in their head and things develop from that. Ferguson spoke of the differences between doing Mission Impossible and Dune as with the latter there’s a strict shooting schedule and mapping out the film, but the opposite is true for Mission and “It leaves you on your tippy toes ready to constantly jump”. For Mission, they’ll shoot multiple versions of things and see what works best. Ferguson admitted that even she doesn’t know what’s made the final cut of the film. “All that I’m prepared for is the action. I know my character. And the rest is revealed when I see the film.”

It’s essential that of the few things that are locked down, the action scenes are among them. Dead Reckoning Part One takes the action scenes to a completely new level. From scaling the tallest building in the world to hanging onto the side of a plane as it takes off, Tom Cruise has risked his life for the Mission Impossible franchise — multiple times. In Dead Reckoning Part One fans can expect to see Cruise and co-running and jumping around atop a runaway train in what promises to be one of the film’s best action set pieces. And there’s minimal CGI involved either as Cruise is insistent on doing all his stunts practically.

The stunts all being real is what makes the Mission Impossible franchise stand out from the crowd of action films. Hayley Atwell described it as “Unlike anything else that exists,” but adds that it’s part of the fun of doing a Mission film. “That was one of the reasons why I wanted to do it. You don’t come into theMission Impossible franchise with the possibility of building a very serious role next to Tom without wanting the opportunity and the challenge to physically do things that are truly extraordinary and exceptional.”

It’s not just Atwell who was drawn to the adrenaline and the thrills of the franchise with Pom Klementieff saying getting to work with Cruise and his stunt team was an incredible experience. “It opened up a new world of possibilities which changed me completely in an amazing way.” Having been a fan of the franchise since the beginning there was not a world where Klementieff would not accept this mission of being part of the franchise. “I have so many memories on this movie of things that were pinch-me moments. Sometimes I was just shooting and you kind of forget that you’re part of Mission Impossible, but sometimes I would just start singing doo doo, doo doo doo doo…” Klementieff told us that years ago when she was training and learning martial arts, she would schedule her fight training in her phone and call it “Mission Impossible” in her calendar because she was trying to manifest this role that has now come her way.

As for details on the new characters, Klementieff was able to share that her villain doesn’t speak much so she took inspiration from animals, in particular the shoebill stork. Klementieff would watch videos of the bird and channel that into her character. “I kept looking at videos of this bird and when it’s staring at you it’s just so f*cking scary…It’s like a dinosaur bird.” Getting to play a quiet character, particularly in an action movie where there’s often lots of exposition was a nice change of pace for Klementieff. She was able to focus on the strength and stillness that comes through the mystery of not talking. Klementieff teased that we can expect something a bit more mystical in Dead Reckoning Part One and something that hasn’t been seen before in a Mission Impossible film. “It’s such a rich movie and it’s so incredible…the characters are so fucking cool and the story is very special.”

As for Hayley Atwell, she loved Tom Cruise’s enthusiasm for film and the symbiotic relationship between him and Christopher McQuarrie. Getting to work closely with the two to mould and build her character as they went along meant that Grace couldn’t be boxed into one particular archetype. Atwell spent five months training for the role learning mixed martial arts, training with knives and guns, and learning how to drift in a race car, but one of the biggest challenges was preparing to run alongside Cruise and having to reach the bar of his iconic sprint where he runs with every cell in his body. “Pickpocketing and sleight of hand tricks seem to come quite naturally to me, as did drifting,” said Atwell, “because of all that training, by the time we got on set I was ready to inject physical and emotional behaviour into it and offer them a range of performances.”

The physical training all the cast underwent was a difficult experience but that’s not to say that the excitement of it all never got to them. Atwell spoke of one moment on set in Rome where all of a sudden, she turned to Cruise and said, “Oh my God, I’m in a Tom Cruise movie!” to which he responded, “No no no, I’m in a Hayley Atwell movie, you’re Hayley Atwell!” Atwell said, “It was so endearing of him and so generous of him.” Klementieff had a similar story of Cruise’s generosity as she had wanted to skydive with him but didn’t have her licence and so when the film wrapped, Cruise put her in touch with his trainer and taught her how to skydive. “I’m blown away by his generosity and how hardworking he is, and how inspiring he is,” remarked Klementieff.

Among all the excitement of the death-defying stunts performed by Cruise and co, everything in Mission Impossible is driven by character and the story. Even when things are subtle and not always immediately clear to the audience. After Fallout subtly dropped that Vanessa Kirby’s White Widow was the daughter of Vanessa Redgrave’s Max from the first film, Kirby has since been building on these family ties in her character. “I just went back and I watched [Vanessa Redgrave] a thousand times and I thought ‘Oh my goodness, this is one of the great theatre actresses of our time’ and she’s always been a huge hero of mine.” Kirby added “To play her daughter and to try and embody that within an action movie is awesome. I think there’s been a long lineage of really cool women in this series.” Vanessa Kirby was excited by the fact that Dead Reckoning allowed her to explore more, push more, ask more questions and try different things with the character. And whilst Kirby was keeping details on the White Widow’s progression in Dead Reckoning close to her chest, she did tell us that she’s grown up even more except now the pressures are getting to her, and more is on the line and there are way more challenges for the White Widow.

Rebecca Ferguson echoed this sentiment too adding that “people know what they’re going to see when they see a Mission Impossible film, but I think this is going to be ten times better than they think.” Ferguson added, “This is going to be darker and more gruesome and it’s going to engulf you more than you would ever have expected…there are bad-ass scenes, fantastic stuns and wonderful locations.” Making a Mission film is more than just a job for Ferguson who’s been a part of the franchise for almost ten years now.  With the immense training and travel required, making a Mission Impossible film is a journey, especially given the fact they were shooting the film during the pandemic and production had to be shut down across COVID lockdowns. “You don’t film Mission, you live Mission…it becomes your life,” said Ferguson. But as a result, Rebecca Ferguson and her character Ilsa Faust have blended together. “She became me, and I her. Somehow, we moulded into each other.” Because of the similarities between Ferguson and Ilsa Faust, she could make decisions about the character in a split second without having to analyse things or check with McQuarrie.

At the end of the day for director Christopher McQuarrie, for Tom Cruise, and for the entire cast, it’s the characters that matter the most and make Mission Impossible what it is. Whether new or old, it’s the characters that drive the Mission Impossible films. The whole franchise, but in particular Dead Reckoning Part One is full of great female characters too. Vanessa Kirby told us, “There’s a lot of great women in this…the women in this series are amazing.” The women in this film are all equals to Ethan Hunt and make this entry into the franchise stand out so much. “So much of the Mission franchise is about the team,” said Atwell. “It’s about Luther and it’s about Benji, and it’s about Ethan and what they have sacrificed to become part of the IMF.”

With Dead Reckoning being a two-parter there are rumours that this is the start of a big send-off for Hunt and his IMF team but nothing is set in stone. Ferguson was quick to say that she doesn’t believe the franchise will end until she hears Tom Cruise himself utter the words “I am done,” three words that she’s yet to hear from his mouth. “I think Tom is going to keep on going with anything until he can’t bloody walk.” Agreeing with Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby remarked that with Cruise anything is possible. “That’s why it’s called Mission Impossible because he always does it,” added Kirby stating that she’s not heard anything about Cruise being ready to deliver his final mission just yet.

Tom Cruise's Fearless Guts and Hollywood's Future at Stake

Credit: This article was translated from CNN Indonesia

Ethan Hunt ran out of options and time. To stop Kurt Hendricks from destroying the world with nuclear bombs, Ethan agreed to the crazy plan they had offered.

He decided to climb the highest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa. From floors 123 to 130, he only used untested magnetic gloves. Not just climbing, Ethan Hunt bravely ran down through the windows, then jumped back to another floor.

The story above was part of the movie Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, released in 2011. It was one of the most iconic extreme scenes in the history of Hollywood’s movies. Tom Cruise who plays Ethan Hunt chose not to use any stuntman.

His guts are always unrivaled. The absence of stuntman in every scenes of his movies needs to be praised. Including his new movie Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023).

Tom Cruise used to shoot terrifying scenes since his name skyrocketed with the Mission: Impossible franchises. Even though this year he is officially turning 61 years old, his habitual routine of facing extreme challenges has never stopped yet.

The actor who was born in 1962 had tried skydiving just like an army in Mission Impossible - Fallout (2018), has a license to fly a jet in Top Gun: Maverick (2022), or jumped from a cliff in his 60’s for the movie Dead Reckoning Part One.

In an interview with James Corden last year, Cruise admitted he has at least 10 licenses, starting with flying different planes, using parachutes, and scuba diving. Why did Tom Cruise insist on doing such extreme activities when he is not young anymore?

When talking with The Hollywood Reporter, Tom Cruise said all his efforts in this industry were a longtime commitment. He took acting to a higher level for the sake of his own career. Using Gene Kelly as an example, Cruise admired that legendary actor who was known for his energetic dance.

“No one asked Gene Kelly, ‘Why did you do that? Why did you shoot all the dance scenes alone?” said Cruise.

Bringing back the time when he was just a little boy. His natural bravery has shown up since he was 4 or 5. Little Cruise without any doubt, jumped from the roof as if he were a superhero.

here's the whole interview btw. some other fun bits:

yeah, they're aware that most of the dialogue in FR is exposition. the characters' faces and the scene composition are meant to carry the majority of the emotion

they shot some of the Rabbit's Foot scenes on film in as close as they could get to m:i3 style so it wouldn't look out of place with other m:i3 footage

there's scenes explaining the whole Ethan/Marie/Gabriel deal out there, but it would've been too expensive to shoot a deaged TC/Julia Robers/Esai Morales in what McQ described as "Tony Scott's Mission: Impossible"

McQ is specifically avoiding seeing what fans say about FR (...yeah, that's fair)

"it's - the death of essential characters has followed Ethan throughout every one of these movies... I don't think up until that point [Ilsa's death] a character that resonated so deeply with the audience had died, and I know there were people that were dissatisfied with the way it happened... which is where I thought that - that wouldn't motivate me to, to undo the one thing that gives Mission: Impossible teeth, which is - death is permanent." (i don't agree that it's the only thing that gives the films teeth, but. now i think i understand what they were going for with Luther in FR a lot better.)

Top Gun: Maverick, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, and Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning were specifically created to be "movies that did everything they could to preserve a kind of filmmaking, a kind of storytelling, and a filmgoing experience during a time when I [McQ] really feel the industry is - I don't want to say imploding, but certainly receding. And I feel there's a venue now, with streaming, wherein you can abdicate certain burdens - and I choose my words very carefully - it's not avoid, it is to abdicate those burdens. You're - yes, making a movie that has to compete in its opening weekend sucks. That's also an important part of why a movie has the quality that it does and last as long as it does. You gotta fight for those oddballs. You don't have to do that in streaming... I don't begrudge that. I think that's great. Just know that when you're doing that, you're not paying into the system. You're not paying into theatrical."

not going to type out the details here but there's Top Gun: Maverick lore too

(comparing Grace and Ethan's relationship to Penny Benjamin and Mav) "It's really hard to create conflict, between a man and a woman, in a movie in which the man desperately needs to go and do what he needs to do. How can that character be saying to him 'what about me?'" (oh. bleagh)

"A leading man has different responsibilities... Ethan Hunt, a character of whom people can be critical - it's on rails. There's so little that he is able to do outside his responsibilities as a leading man. And when you try to push those boundaries, Mission instantaneously ceases to become Mission. That's the line we're always walking." (again, I don't agree, but i think it helps me understand FR. Ethan really never had a chance of retiring, huh)

TC would sit down for breakfast with McQ and act out scenes from a conceptual Les Grossman movie to destress xD

with Mission: Impossible - Fallout and following, emotion was baked into every frame rather than injected into the movie (and that's how 18 year old Neg got sucked into the franchise. thanks McQ 🔪)

DR1 and FR were made specifically in conversation with anxiety about information technology

TC's rule about Ethan/Mav is that "[he doesn't want] sad Mav. [he doesn't want] to meet a guy at the beginning of the movie that used to be Mav, and he's got to spend the movie getting his Mav back, for the simple fact that that totally tanks the first movie" (thank fuck. someone's learning from Star Wars and Indiana Jones)

i think i'm realizing that i might be fundamentally a standard deviation or two off the center of the bell curve of the audience TC and McQ are making movies for and that's where some of DR1 and FR fell flat for me. but they're still real good at movies 🥺and i'm still excited to see what they make next ^^

five hour directors cut PLEASE 🫴🏽
