As much as I loved the sixth one, I miss the franchise’s revolving directors thing.
I miss Robert Elswit.
Consecutive years? Wow
I wish the Dark Universe hadn’t been such a colossal mess up.
Would like to see Cruise do something different.
Agree all around.
Fun series but they're gonna beat this thing into the ground and make sure we're sick of it.
McQuarrie made the two best movies in the series. LIGHT THE FUSE.
No reason to assume this so far. Part 6 did not need to be as amazing as it was. The dedication of the current team is clearly staggering.Quote:

Except for the scant examples of successful franchise films produced back to back.Quote:

This new direction is an accounting plan, not a creative one. It makes the series into just another mega-blockbuster. Franchises always become less interesting when they pump out too many entries too quickly (eg: Star Wars).
Tom Cruise likely doesn't have many action years left in him, hence the fast track. But yeh, this is something I wouldn't normally be calling for.
How about it's a creative and an accounting plan? Can't it be both? I trust these guys based on where they're at now. It's easy to look back and comment on how Star Wars has gotten out of hand, but even if you leave hindsight out of the equation, there was just a cynical, checkmark approach to the way they were going after the popular characters and throw them into the standalone movies. Or at least were planning to do that with Boba and Obi-Wan.Quote:

I love this series so more is good.
!!
So pumped for this news. "Kittridge, you've never seen me very upset."
Yeah in an era when it seems every new movie brings back someone from the past, this one is actually awesome.
is by far the best scene in any MI movie.Quote:

Thinking about this more... can we please not make him a disgruntled former director / enemy please???????Quote:

A bridge too far.
Seems pretty silly of Paramount to push to destroy another country's historical structure for the new M:I movie.
That's the most 'Murica thing I've read all day.
I dunno, the article makes a pretty convincing argument that it's in no way a historical structure or monument, it's just an obsolete, unused bridge that will never be restored. Seems like more of a fight between government and the railroad lobby.
Let TC and McQ blow up whatever the hell they want, dammit.
Doesn't the article say they are going to fix it up and make it usable again?
They want it to. But there's also the idea of making it a mounument. If they do, then it can't be touched.Quote:

McQuarrie has shared a behind the scenes picture. Lord knows what kind of unthinkable thing is going to transpire here.
