00:00Congratulations on this film. I know you said a couple of years ago that you would keep making Mission Impossible movies into your 80s.
00:07Is that still true?
00:08I actually said I'm going to make movies into my 80s. I don't know what.
00:11Okay, okay. Maybe movies. Actually, I'm going to make them into my hundreds.
00:16I will never stop.
00:17I will never stop doing action. I will never stop doing drama, comedy, films. I'm excited.
00:23Well, we will always take a Tom Cruise movie.
00:25What has been the most rewarding part about this 30-year Mission Impossible journey for you so far?
00:30I can't say the most rewarding because there's been so many levels of reward with the filmmakers that I've collaborated with,
00:37the crews, the people, the cultures that we've worked in, everything that I've learned and continue to learn about storytelling,
00:46about life, about leadership, about character, and, you know, every aspect of filmmaking.
00:55And it's been exceptional. You know, it really is. It is exceptional.
00:59I mean, I feel very fortunate to be able to make the films that I make, and I love it.
01:04I just love making movies.
01:06Oh, for sure. And, of course, you are the master of stunts.
01:09Do you have a pre-stunt ritual at all to keep you calm, or is it just another day on the job?
01:14To keep me calm? No, there's a lot of pre-stunt rituals that keep me alive.
01:19So, and it depends on what I'm doing.
01:21So, and the amount of preparation that I have to do, it's, you know, a lot of thought goes into it.
01:27And, you know, they're very, very complex and very interesting.
01:32Well, we're excited for everyone to see this moving.
01:35Maybe the final reckoning, maybe not, but we'll see.
01:37It's not called final for nothing.
01:44It's not called final for nothing.
