Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One release live updates: Fans call Tom Cruise ‘biggest star in the world’

The McQuarrie-Cruise team-up

“When I met Tom in 2006, I had not directed a film in seven years,” director Christopher McQuarrie says. “I wouldn’t direct a film again for another five years. I had really put any ambitions I had to direct out of my mind. I certainly never imagined being considered an action director, let alone directing four action films.”
