Tom Cruise on How Steven Spielberg Inspired Him to Hire Brian De Palma to Direct Mission: Impossible

my husbandd tom cruiseee

I don't agree with what Tom might believe in. It stops there. He is the generational actor who gives it his all. I respect him and admire his work ethic. Truly an amazing actor.

Cruise worked with 4 of the 5 great American New Wave directors: Coppola, Scorsese, DePalma and Spielberg. He hasn't done a film with Lucas but I'm sure it could have happened in the 90s.

The first mi movie setup the entire franchise. So even if John Woo made a campy second let and third had a great villain but without repeat value, the franchise held its own when the fourth released.

Also don’t forget Tom was going through a very substandard phase in his career during that time when he wasn’t getting a blockbuster despite best efforts.

Where's the full video?

I love how Spielberg is involved with or somehow connected to like half the big projects that Hollywood ends up making. We arguably wouldn't have great actors like Christian Bale, Josh Brolin, and Ke Huy Quan out there if it weren't for Spielberg. Who knows how the Mission Impossible franchise would've ended up had Spielberg not invited De Palma to his house for dinner.

I wish l had movie stars live next door to me

Fuge Speilberg for hiring Tom Cruise

Really inspired stuff, De Palmas visual style and driving pace makes Mission Impossible endlessly rewatchable.

Imagine a film directed by... Tom Cruise. I would watch that with interest.

Wait, actors do the hiring for a movie? Talk about grandiose bullshit.... Typical whollyweird lies and bullshit. Remember, they are pretend people! The original Fake!!

Cruise was trying to recruit for scientology.

its a shame they fell out

Nice interview, but I'm not sure about the video title - Cruise says he got the idea after bumping into DePalma at Spielberg's house - that's not the same as "Spielberg inspiring" him to use DePalma -

I’ve often wondered if I’m being annoying loving movies as much as I do, so to see someone like Tom Cruise also talk about how much he loves them makes me feel good 😊

Here's a drinking game suggestion. Drink a shot every time he says "you know". Goal of the game: survive.

The first one is still the best imo. The storytelling & that train sequence at the end is still amazing.

That's not how I remember the dinner.

I’m a movie expert. Ever since I was a kid, America, Hollywood, movie making, heck, I was six years old and through cartoons and movies I learned the English language by my self. Tom Cruise is the biggest star we have on planet earth right now, what movies concerned.

Love this! But this was a period his face looked a bit off. Puffy.

Tom Cruise is the man!

What I’d do to meet Tom Cruise in person …

Tom Cruise never disappoints the audience. The man is a true daredevil, a perfectionist, and genius when it comes to his movie stunts and production. He risks his life for the audience. The Mission Impossible movie series is probably one of the greatest series in action movie history. He is a legend. Never forget that.

Where can I get his suit?

What a guy

I was at that din din too

De Palma is the best

Love ❤️

Listen to how many times Tom says "You Know" in this interview. It's hilarious. He's just the greatest.

Cute

Man time is finally catching up to him .
He still looks too damn good for his age but this is probably the oldest he has ever looked .
Almost makes me kinda sad .

I was often on set here in Rome in 2020 and he was very nice to everyone

Did he go to France Nice near the scientology church in 1995?

Only then did he watch De Palma - not like in the years before?

HEY, it's the public face of a abusive insidious evil cult and who abandoned his youngest daughter Suri for over 8 years now and counting! but sure, everyone still support and give this man your time and money because hey, little ole you are only interested in being entertained! NEVER MIND, the fact that because everyone is NOT in his cult, he thinks of you as a "wog", a "degraded being" basically the "N" word scientology! he is LITERALLY laughing at all of you and taking your money! Money that as his salary he gives millions to his evil scam cult that abuses members and non members and keeps it going! shameful!.. NOW i'll wait for all of you culties yourself and self absorbed celebrity worshippers to chime in defending the man!...

AND NEITHER SPIELBERG OR DEPALMA will work with him again! EVER! meanwhile mcquarrie is a enabler working with this public face of a abusive cult and deadbeat father who abandoned Suri, over and over and over again... shameful!

Did he quit injections? He looks his age which is kind of cool

👍👍👍♥♥♥💗💗💗💘💘💘😍😍😍

I just bought this MI1 remaster and I'm very pleased with how stunning it looks.... I want more remasters please !!!!!

tom, no one gives a flying f*&k. get over yourself.

👏

more of this please.

I love the first three mission: impossible movies

Looks like he stayed up for 14 hours for this interview. 😳 😬

Watching 14 hours of De Palma movies in one take ?! Cruise is very perfectionist!

good choise

I respect his work as a s professional so very much. I could care less about his personal life.Whatever do you. By all accounts the dude is a pros pro and treats everyone with respect and is fair. Which is really all you can ask for. Mostly he is a student of film and you can tell that it's just what he does. How can you hate that and continue to talk shit? It's dumb.

BDP captured the essence of the original series the best despite how horrified fans of the show were at what they did with Jim Phelps. The original has the tension and paranoia of a true espionage story. The change that JJ Abrams brought in with MI3 and what has stayed ever since, has led to some excellent action blockbusters, but there was nothing like the mood and atmosphere of the original film. Bringing in simon pegg for comedy also completely changed the kind of series this was sealed it as a comedy/action
