[Mis à jour le 15 juillet 2023 à 08h30] Ethan Hunt faces a formidable artificial intelligence in the last film of the saga "Impossible mission". The seventh episode, titled "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning" was released in cinemas on July 12, 2023. However, it is the first part of a diptych.
Indeed, a second part is soon planned in the cinema. For the time being, the release date in France is scheduled for June 26, 2024. However, this is subject to change due to the writers’ and actors’ strike which is currently agitating Hollywood and which could postpone the filming or the promotion of "mission impossible 8". Indeed, during the world premiere of the first part, Tom Cruise ensured that only 40% of the film had been boxed.
Behind the scenes of Tom Cruise’s leap into the void
Tom Cruise has accustomed us to spectacular stunts. In theaters since July 12, "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning part 1" is full of moments of titanic action scenes, between the airport, the chase through the streets of Rome, or the final train scene. During this last sequence, Ethan Hunt does the unthinkable: a motocross jump into the void from a cliff, before parachuting. This is also the first scene that was shot in the entire film.
And as Tom Cruise is used to, he himself performed this impressive stunt in Hellesylt, Norway. In a making-of video, director Christophe McQuarrie explains that it was "the first time [qu'ils prenaient] such a risk." For this sequence, it took years of preparation. Between the relentless training but also the millimeter calculations of the actor’s trajectories to be able to film the sequence in the most immersive way possible, this sequence was a headache to shoot. Especially since the stunt was performed without lining, without protection except the parachute, and without a green background.
