Tom Cruise is all set to sizzle the silver screen once again with his massive outing Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. With the next instalment in the action-packed franchise set to release globally on July 12, the makers are going all out to showcase the release which has ‘blockbuster’ written all over it.

The film-makers are not only delighted with what their approach has yielded thus far but also thrilled with what they are yet to reveal. “In the next one, you will feel the world constantly expanding and you’ll go to places the franchise has never been. You’ll see parts of the world that you’ve never seen this way. And, frankly, some of them won’t exist for much longer,” director Christopher McQuarrie, a longtime collaborator of Cruise, says. “We have really, truly, taken this story to the edge of the world.”

Though neither Cruise nor McQuarrie is yet prepared to reveal what ground-breaking stunt Cruise is preparing to pull off for audiences in the next movie, McQuarrie will at least confirm this: “The bike jump (in Dead Reckoning Part One) was far and away the most dangerous thing we had ever attempted. The only thing that scared me more than that stunt was what we had planned for Part Two.”

For now, though, what both men want is for audiences around the world to get ready to immerse themselves in a jaw-dropping story that they say makes this Mission: Impossible the most exhilarating, ambitious, and emotional instalment so far. “I always knew there were things we could do better,” Cruise says of his near-three-decade Mission journey. “There are always mountains to climb. But I really do believe that this movie is Mission in its highest gear. No one can be tougher on me than me. I have always set the bar high for myself and always expect a lot from myself. I never want to rest on any laurels in seeing how I can serve the audience.”
