“Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” director Christopher McQuarrie revealed that he considered reaching out to Julia Roberts to de-age her for the film.
The scene that made it into the film is a brief flashback that is interspersed throughout the movie. It depicts a young Ethan Hunt watching the villainous Gabriel murder his girlfriend, played by Mariela Garriga. McQuarrie looked into de-aging VFX in order to open the film with a more extended scene set around this fateful encounter.
“I said, ‘Ok, if I were doing this sequence, it would be Tom in, say, 1989. It would be Tony Scott’s ‘Mission: Impossible.’ That’s who would have been directing the movie before Brian De Palma, you know, in that era,” McQuarrie said on the Empire podcast.
McQuarrie continued, “The only way I could have seen doing the sequence justice [using de-aging] was to somehow convince Julia Roberts to come in and be this small role at the beginning of this story. And of course, as you’re conceptually going through it, you’re like, ‘Now all anybody’s going to be doing is thinking about the de-aging of Julia Roberts, and Esai, and Tom, and Henry Czerny.’”to de-aging Harrison Ford for the 25-minute scene that opens “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
“I got the bill for de-aging those people before their salaries were even factored into it,” McQuarre. “And if you put two of them in a shot together, or three of them in a shot together, it would have been as expensive as the train by the time we were done.” McQuarrie is referring to the film’s climactic set piece, which is set on a speeding train. The production built the train carts from scratch and actually crashed the train, which is no small price tag.Read More About:
