Christopher McQuarrie Reviews, Interviews & More
Earlier this month, we reported to you that three things were happening—Mission: Impossible 5 was indeed happening, that Tom Cruise would definitely return to star as Ethan Hunt, and that his Jack Reacher director Christopher McQuarrie is the person most likely to helm the film (his name keeps popping up as the most likely candidate). Now, we have one...
One of the year’s most talked about films is already hitting Blu-ray, but that’s partly because of the way it was made. Upstream Color and Jack Reacher are the highlights of the week, with a ton of new catalog titles hitting as well. Saddle up for some expenses, fellow collectors.
Following the strong success of Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, it was always highly likely that we were going to get a Mission: Impossible 5. However, since a solid chunk of the Ghost Protocol was given over to introducing and establishing Jeremy Renner’s character (basically all the parts that weren’t completely awesome) in order for Renner to take over...
In some way you've become a Christopher McQuarrie fan over the years. The man has written a number of great scripts for a variety of movies including The Usual Suspects to Valkyrie. Now it looks like he'll be getting yet another shot to direct a picture,but it's not just any film. We're talking about McQuarrie directing none other than Mission: Impossible...
When you transform a 6'5" 250 lbs. ex-military police officer fictional character into Tom Cruise, there's going to some grumblings from the book's fanbase, so it makes sense for Paramount to release a featurette about Jack Reacher that shows author Lee Child (real name: Jim Grant) praising your star. Sure, they paid Child a lot of money for the adaptation, but he...
Those hoping for another Brad Bird-directed installment of Mission: Impossible (his work on the last film not only made it a tremendous hit for Paramount, but a giddy and insanely fun popcorn film) will have to finally let go, and it’s been reported today that the likely director of Mission: Impossible 5 will be writer/director Christopher...
After the huge success of last year's Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, it seems that Paramount wants to make every Christmas a Tom Cruise Holiday. This year we get Cruise in Jack Reacher, and they've cut a great trailer for this down and dirty action movie.
Today is Tom Cruise's 50th birthday, so why not release a trailer of him fighting like he's a twenty-something? Cruise stars in Jack Reacher, his latest franchise (or at least attempt). Check out the trailer...
How quickly we forgive or forget. Tom Cruise was considered a box office poison when his personal life overwhelmed his career, and he's had a string of box office disappointments. In fact, 2010 saw Cruise in Knight and Day, which unperformed and felt barely released. But word is good on his next Mission: Impossible movie, and so Cruise is a...
Screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie really has a thing for comics and cartoons. The acclaimed scribe has been tapped to write a big screen adaptation of the 1970s animated series, Star Blazers. The film will be produced by Skydance Productions, who plans on turning the property into a live action tentpole.
Now that it's been confirmed by director Tony Scott that Top Gun 2 is ago, screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie has decided to fill us in on some sequel details. Previous reports claimed that Tom Cruise's character Maverick would be featured in a small role in the film, that would be led by a new cast of recruits. But according to an email sent to Vulture by McQuarrie,...
Christopher McQuarrie will reunite with The Usual Suspects, X-Men, and Valkyrie director Bryan Singer for his upcoming project, Jack the Giant Killer. The film has been in development for months over at New Line Cinema and Legendary Pictures and McQuarrie's hiring is a much needed step in the right direction.
For the love of film! I mean I support you Hugh on almost anything. Want to go ride a horse across a desolate land for 3 hours and I'm with ya, but when I hear the words "script" and "Wolverine" I get a little nervous. At least we have a different crew on board for this film and only one writer to boot! As we've known for some time, writer Christopher McQuarrie has decided to tackle to...
It's already been set in stone that a sequel to this summer's X-Men Origins: Wolverine is happening, and a writer has just been confirmed. According to /Film, Christopher McQuarrie will pen the screenplay for what we're tentively calling Wolverine 2. After the sorry excuse that passed for a script the last time around,...
