Once again,
it’s Cruise Month
And we have
the third Mission: Impossible Movie. The movie with the most production
problems of the 4. David Flincher was originally slated to direct the movie,
but he ultimately abandoned the project in favour of another film, later citing
some creative differences. Joe Carnahan was the second director they appointed,
and he worked on the film for 15 months before quitting the film also citing
creative differences. The director that ended up on the film was J J Abrams, in
his first role as a film director. While he hasn’t directed any of the movies
since, he has stayed on as a producer alongside Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner.
The film was delayed a year in order to allow Abrams to finish his TV work with
Lost and Alias.
