“If I do, that’s not going to end well.”Ĭo-star Pegg previously said he gets the “willies” watching Cruise perform his own stunts. “I had about six seconds once I departed the ramp to pull the chute and I don’t want to get tangled in the bike,” Cruise revealed. Cruise told Empire magazine that a sequence involving him riding a motorcycle off a cliff was the most dangerous stunt of his career. The budget reportedly ballooned upwards of $290 million during production, with additional funds allocated to finish post-production on the action epic. Production for “Dead Reckoning Part I” was repeatedly halted by the pandemic but eventually wrapped in September of 2021.
McQuarrie helms both films, which will have exclusive theatrical releases in part due to Cruise’s urging. But yeah, we are now officially in production of ‘Dead Reckoning – Part Two.'” There’s still a couple of things to pick up with ‘7’ because I think the way ‘8’ evolves might determine a few things, which is a great luxury we have in this situation, being able to do two films back to back. Pegg shared that production has “just started” on “M:I 8,” explaining, “We’re right back to the beginning again. Highly recommended.‘M:I 7’ Director Was Determined to ‘Wreck’ a 70-Ton Train Like Buster Keaton If Shaun was on the money, and Hot Fuzz was wordy, The World's End is somewhere in between. The supporting cast are excellent including (surprisingly well cast) Rosamund Pike, Martin Freeman to name a few and a surprise cameo by an ex-Bond. It's strength is that you care about the fate of the characters. There's plenty of homage's thrown in just for fun, Pegg as washed up excitable alcoholic/drug intoxicated Gary King plays against the usual nice guy, here he's a man you love to hate, you really want him to succeed. The beings glowing eyes are reminiscent of Demons (1985) while the set up feels like Invasion of the Body Snatcher (1956/78) only with a twist and the closing confrontation plays out like an episode of Star Trek/Doctor Who followed by an outlandish flash-forward. The first half of the film injects the most one liners and comedy output with the old gang rejoining and their return to the town, while the second is more action orientated when they go head to head with the invaders. Some jokes my go over some international viewer's heads, but the majority cater for all. The soundtrack oozes nostalgia and accompanying music score is fitting. Wright once again shows that he's at the top of his game, the action scenes are wonderfully executed and the effects are superb. The on location feel gives it an air of realism and captures a current British small town perfectly. There's plenty of camaraderie between the five friends mixed with the humorous restlessness of a school reunion. Once again like Shaun of the Dead (2004) and Hot Fuzz (2007) what makes this so likable is the Simon Pegg and Nick Frost combination - the two have great chemistry, they're not only funny but warm too. Director/writer Edger Wright returns with this British set, sci-fi, beer-fuelled pub crawl yarn. Five friends return to their hometown to relive a pub crawl they never finished in their youth, however, they find their town has been invaded by interstellar beings 'Blanks' and the crawl could literary kill them.
