Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Interview: Shea Whigham & Greg Tarzan Davis
50Joining the Mission: Impossible saga is no joke, a lesson Shea Whigham and Greg Tarzan Davis learned quickly on the set of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One. The duo board the franchise with writer-director Christopher McQuarrie and actor-producer Tom Cruise and get a crash course in the kind of “intense, beautiful” spectacle that McQuarrie and Cruise have come to be known for.
In Dead Reckoning, Ethan Hunt (Cruise) is tasked with saving the world yet again, but this time from a sinister technological threat. In their interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, which you can watch or read below, Davis and Whigham touch on how ahead of their time McQuarrie and co-writer Erik Jendresen were when working on the screenplay years ago. They also discuss McQuarrie and Cruise’s symbiotic partnership and their commitment to the story and characters, including familiar faces like Mission: Impossible’s Henry Czerny and other newcomers like themselves, with Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff.
Davis, who previously worked with the two creatives on last year’s summer blockbuster, Top Gun: Maverick, discusses how this team-up differed from that ‘80s sequel and why. We also find out which scenes had them questioning how much more they had in them to give and what it was like watching the finished product for the first time at the premiere in Rome.
