One of the challenges of MissionImpossible’s train set piece? Getting everyone to slow down. “They’re all used to making big action sequences that are happening very quickly,” says McQuarrie. “It’s a suspense sequence disguised as an action sequence.”
“I’ve been in the business 26, 27 years, and I’ve never hung a train at 90 degrees and had someone climb up inside of it,” production designer Freeman says with a chuckle.
“Tom can only reach a certain distance. Hayley can only step a certain distance. Tom and McQ were very much in that mold, that it shouldn’t look superheroic. It should look real.” The train car falls into a steep gorge, providing a moment of zero gravity for Ethan Hunt and Grace in “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One.”Sound designer Mather recalls, “Literally days before we shipped the movie, Tom was talking about the height. Tom’s always about: ‘I wannathis.’ So it had to have a moment of subtle, high-altitude wind whistle. It’s so brief and there’s so little time for it, but it gives you that kind of, ‘Ah, they’re really high.
Hanging in a train car is just one problem in the spectacular climax of “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One.” There’s also the piano dangling overhead. McQuarrie says, “One of the biggest laughs in the movie is when he says, ‘Do you trust me?’ and Hayley just [shakes her head, wide-eyed]. That was found in the moment. Those are things you can’t write and plan for. You have to discover them. The performance Hayley gives in that moment kills me. Every time, I believe she’s not going to jump. Hayley is so profoundly empathetic. It’s why we spent 10 years trying to find the right thing for her.
