Before director Christopher McQuarrie took the reins of the Mission Impossible franchise, he teamed up with Tom Cruise for another set of action flicks, that of the Jack Reacher movies.
The last explosive entry, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, was written, produced, and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, and directly followed McQuarrie’s previous effort Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation.
McQuarrie discussed his time on Jack Reacher recently, revealing that he and Cruise would have potentially taken the series into R-rated territory had it continued.
The [Jack Reacher] stuff we’re talking about now is tinker toys [compared to it], I’m actually very, very excited.”
