A thread for MI6.
While discussing the sixth film in the franchise, "Mission: Impossible — Fallout," at CinemaCon on Wednesday, Cruise detailed one of the film's action sequences, in which Cruise's Ethan Hunt jumps from a plane at nearly 30,000 feet to catch Henry Cavill's free-falling character.
To get the three shots that he and director Christopher McQuarrie (who returns after directing "Mission Impossible — Rogue Nation") wanted, Cruise jumped out of a C-17 plane 106 times.

Why does everybody think that McQ is the one who needs TC? Whose work put TC back on the map? McQ. He’s the brainiac that wrote and directed the two most successful MI films in the MI franchise.
TC isn’t the hot thing he used to be. And Brad Pitt isn’t the only competition. Yes, he looks younger than his age, is very fit and handsome, but there are a plethora of young hot actors that look like you could put them in box and sell them as life-size action figures at Toys R Us.
So TC can’t rely on his looks to get butts in seats. He needs to be in something good too. McQ seem to know how to cook up something for TC to shine in that people likes. Btw, does McQ need to work? Isn’t he a millionaire?
HC must have two heads. And I mean the kind the neck carries, because haters think his head is up DJ’s butt for work too.
Who told them that HC likes the projects that DJ is involved in? And if HC keeps appearing in every DJ project, the same people will call him a leech just like they call DG and her brother a leech. According to them, those two are nothing without DJ. So they will say HC is nothing without DJ too. And here is the weird part. DG is holding HC back, because he’s white. She could put him in all her films, but she doesn’t. Strangely enough, when she decided to put HC in her film, he refused. If we ignore all the known facts behind why HC didn’t do the cameo and look at the weird part, it is actually telling us something. That something being that maybe HC doesn’t want her to put him in her projects. Not even to do a cameo.

Ask him what? He doesn’t A any Q about MI or TG. Btw, aren't we using enough abbreviations and acronyms around here already?
He must be. He wrote, direct and co-produce MI6. He wrote and direct MI5.
For once, someone white is being discriminated.
Sorry, I had to have a little fun with that. Love you!

Aren't you neglecting your white half?

The white half is very comfortable. The non-white half not so much.

He may get his butt kicked by men too. McQ announced two new cast members for MI7: Shea Whighum and the cutie pie Nicholas Hoult.

NH.
The silver fox knows what his female audience likes.

NH is a good choice.
I wonder if McQ will bring JR back. He’s into some serious trouble.

You never know how something like this will affect a film. In this article people want WB to remove Amber Heard from AM 2, because they think that she has physically abused Johnny Depp. They even started a petition that says that JD would have been removed if he was the one accused of domestic abuse.
Anyway, McQ revealed another one.
AB will be back.

Is that really AB? She doesn’t have anything about MI7 or MI8 on her IG or IMDb page. And only HA and PK are cast for both MI7 and MI8. RF, SW, NH and the new actor Gregory Sanon are cast for MI7.

I knew haters will try to make this an issue. The latest wave of hate is that McQ doesn’t want to work with HC anymore. That's because he didn’t recast HC, but he cast NH for two MI films.
McQ doesn’t have to kiss HC’s butt. So he didn’t have to say that HC was nice if HC wasn’t. Secondly, HC’s character died in MI6. If memory serves, the MI films don’t show backstories of the bad guys. Only MI3 has some flashbacks in it. But the character was good and she died in MI3 too. Thirdly, according to NH’s IMDb page, he will be in MI7.

I think so
This is starting to look like a code language. Many people don’t even know that bc means because. But I think I’ll go back to using it bc you can Google this crap. Why would bc mean birth control or before Christ here?
Girl, commotion bc Tim Aslam and Vladmir Furdik won’t be back for TW S2. Somehow it’s HC’s fault. It can’t be a normal thing. There has to be blood.
GOT has 73 eps and VF only work on 16. Lark Rise to Candleford has 40 eps and TA only worked on 10. It’s normal to hire other people.
Yeah. Why would McQ say nice things about someone who wasn’t nice? He doesn’t need HC to green light his projects. So why kiss his arse? And now McQ knows that he has two MI films to write and direct. When he hired HC for MI6, he didn’t know that it would be a big BO success and that there would be more MI films for him to write and direct. I remember TC saying that MI6 was a mixture of all the previous MI films. They could have ended the franchise with MI6. But it made good money. So they must continue.

Eye candy. Good! Where is Benji? If McQ knows what’s good for him, he will bring Benji back.
We should make a list of all the things that the haters pointed out that wasn't true or didn't make sense.
Haters really want people to say that HC is arrogant and difficult to work with. Only two idiots had something to say about HC and those two idiots are proven douchebags. I’m talking about James Franco and Stephen Dorff. No wonder HC stayed away from them. It’s not mandatory to mingle with people you work with.

You should start, but I’ll mention one. Remember when haters said that NX left HC out of TW’s promo tour? We already know that HC did the talk shows and non-Euro CCs. Now it seems like he was doing voice recording for TW’s anime or TWA.

My favorite was the Brazilian CC fans. Haters thought that the fans were crazy for GG. When HC came on, the fans were still screaming for GG, not him. But HC was the one who opened the event that morning and GG was the one who closed it that evening. lol
JF isn't just a douchebag. Several women accused him of sexual harassment and sexually exploitative behavior.
