Director Christopher McQuarrie reveals Mission: Impossible 5 Details

Mission: Impossible 5 is looking to be one of the most highly-anticipated movies of this year. This movie franchise which started mellow, and was negatively defined by the extremely awful yet highly-popular Mission: Impossible 2, mildly redeemed by its "a whole lot better" part 3, then completely redeemed when part 4 (Ghost Protocol) came around. Now, the fifth film is set to move forward, now, with a regained integrity. [hit the jump to continue]

Months ago, we found out that its release date was re-set earlier; from December 25 (which surely would delay the Philippine release because of the MMFF), to July 31, 2015; which was incredibly great news. Recently, new scenes were added to the movie. Reports state that director Christopher McQuarrie was given the extra time to work out a new ending with an unnamed writer friend who will be neither credited nor paid for his or her work on the film. Which is not surprising because this kind of last-minute improvements processes also happens in projects such as "World War Z" and "Edge of Tomorrow".

Christopher McQuarrie recently took to Twitter in a Q&A session and clarified that these shoots did not alter the original ending of the movie, it only improved them. McQuarrie also revealed several other details. Here is an enumeration of what he revealed...

- The ending of the movie did not have to be rewritten or reshot, it had to be prepped. That’s what they’re filming right now.
- Sean Harris is indeed playing the film’s villain.
- We will see more of Jeremy Renner’s Agent Brandt, Ving Rhames has more screentime than he did in Ghost Protocol, and Simon Pegg’s Benji “gets his hands plenty dirty.”
- Ghost Protocol star Paula Patton and Mission: Impossible 3 star Maggie Q were unavailable to return.
- Composer Joe Kraemer (Jack Reacher) is “playing with something retro, of course” for the score.
- When asked if we’d get another great McQuarrie shootout, he responded “Kind of. Trust me.”
- Those expecting the film to be old school “won’t be disappointed.”
- Nods to the original “abound.”
- The subtitle and trailer are coming soon.
- The film will have the feel of an episode of the old show.
- We’ll know from the trailer what McQuarrie wanted to do in this story that hadn’t been done in other M:I stories.
- There will be some score-less action scenes as in Jack Reacher and McQuarrie’s first film, The Way of the Gun.
- There are specific Brian De Palma references.
- McQuarrie broke his personal record for footage shot.

Mission: Impossible 5's complete title has not yet been revealed. It brings back Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, and Jeremy Renner, and it's directed by Christopher McQuarrie who directed "Jack Reacher" and "Way of the Gun". It's scheduled for international release July 31, 2015; the Philippine release date has not yet been announced.
