The Director of ‘Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning' Unpacks Key Moments
Christopher McQuarrie was a 27-year-old former movie-theater security guard when he won the Oscar for best screenplay in 1996 for 'The Usual Suspects.' Things went a little pear-shaped from that early peak, as they tend to do in Hollywood, and the Princeton, N.J., native was looking to leave the industry altogether when he piqued Tom Cruise's interest for another script that became the 2008 Hitler-assassination drama 'Valkyrie.' It was the start of a professional relationship that has culminated in McQuarrie, now 56, directing and co-producing the past four films of the 'Mission Impossible' franchise, including 'Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning,' in which Cruise famously stars as the unsinkable (and seemingly unkillable) special agent Ethan Hunt. Recently, McQuarrie spoke with The Times in New York and later via video call from the back of an SUV in Mexico City about the choice to make A.I. the villain, the question of whether the franchise is coming to an end, and a 'gnarly' secret Tom Cruise movie in the works. Here are edited excerpts from those conversations. When did the decision come that 'Dead Reckoning' and 'Final Reckoning' would be the final two films in the franchise? Over the course of 'Rogue Nation' [2015], 'Fallout' [2018] and then 'Dead Reckoning' [2023], we were delving deeper and deeper into the emotions of the characters and their arcs. I said, 'Look, we know that it's going to be a long movie, let's just cut it in half.' I understand the irony of me saying we were going to make two two-hour movies and we ended up making these two much, much bigger ones. But we didn't really think of it as being the conclusion of anything until we were about halfway through 'Dead Reckoning.' Over time, we started to feel that this is a movie about the franchise more than just about the mission. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

International Pride Orchestra plays outside DC in rebuff to Trump snub at Kennedy Center
An event by the International Pride Orchestra this week swung from classical Gershwin favorites to choral patriotism to high drag in a rebuff to Donald Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center and its subsequent snub of the LBGTQ+ ensemble. The spirited celebration of WorldPride, the peripatetic biennial international festival in support of LGBTQ+ rights which kicks off this month and is taking place in Washington DC, was staged instead at the Strathmore Music Center in Maryland, just north of the capital. Related: Four queer business owners on Pride under Trump: 'Our joy is resistance' Sequin-clad drag queen Peaches Christ acted as host and New York drag queen Thorgy Thor played a violin solo to Beyoncé's Crazy in Love to an audience of 1,166 people. The orchestra had hoped to play at the Kennedy Center, Washington's premier performing arts center, but shortly after returning to the White House, Donald Trump pledged on social media that there would be, in all-caps: 'No more drag shows, or other anti-American propaganda' at the public-private arts space. The Trump administration has issued executive orders limiting transgender rights, banned transgender people from serving in the armed forces, and rescinded anti-discrimination policies for LGBTQ+ people as part of a campaign to repeal diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Michael Roest, conductor and founder of the International Pride Orchestra, a non-profit, reminded the audience that 'people don't feel safe to live and love openly'. 'That is the reason why we have this orchestra,' he said. During the event, the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington sang American the Beautiful, and a pianist, Sara Davis Buechner, who is transgender, dazzled while leading the orchestra on grand piano in the Gershwin favorite Rhapsody in Blue. Both Stars and Stripes and rainbow flags were hoisted at the close. Trump in February fired the leadership of the Kennedy Center, named himself chair and put a loyalist in charge. The center then sent Roest a message that said: 'We are not in a position at this time to advance a contract,' according to an email chain seen by Reuters, after months of prior negotiations. Considering themselves 'disinvited', event organizers began looking for alternative venues and the Strathmore offered its space, an orchestra spokesperson said. A Kennedy Center spokesperson referred Reuters to an X post from leadership saying it had not actually canceled any shows.

Tom Cruise Sets Guinness World Record With Fiery Freefall in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING; Featurette Released — GeekTyrant
Tom Cruise has done it again, and this time, he's literally blazing a new trail in movie history. In what is one of the most audacious stunt of his career, Cruise officially set a Guinness World Record for a jaw-dropping sequence in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning . The record? 16 parachute jumps performed while engulfed in flames, part of a harrowing finale known behind the scenes as the 'Inferno Descent.' Yes, on fire. The feat is featured in a newly released behind-the-scenes featurette that dives into how the stunt was pulled off. You can check that out below, and it's every bit as insane as it sounds. I couldn't help but laugh while watching the video because it's so crazy! The 'Inferno Descent' comes during the climax of the film, when Ethan Hunt is forced to eject from a flaming aircraft mid-air. As fiery wreckage rains around him, he plunges into the sky with his gear literally ablaze. His mission in this moment? Deploy the 'Podkova' module and activate the 'Poison Pill' malware to neutralize the Entity, the franchise's sentient AI villain, before it rewrites the global digital landscape. It's a visual and technical showstopper. Doing it once would be enough for most, but 16 times? That's just a normal day for Tom Cruise. This isn't new territory for Cruise when it comes to redefining practical action. Over the course of the Mission: Impossible series, he's climbed the Burj Khalifa (Ghost Protocol), hung off a plane mid-takeoff (Rogue Nation), and executed a 25,000-foot HALO jump (Fallout). These aren't just wild stunts for the sake of spectacle, they're character moments, executed in-camera to ground Ethan Hunt's impossible missions in physical reality. His longtime collaborator, director Christopher McQuarrie, has been instrumental in orchestrating these large-scale sequences. McQuarrie, who co-wrote The Final Reckoning with Erik Jendresen, knows exactly how to frame these moments so the audience feels every beat of tension, with Cruise always at the center of the chaos. This record-setting stunt feels like a fitting high point for what's reportedly the final chapter of Cruise's run as Ethan Hunt.
