‘Mission: Impossible’ Director Christopher McQuarrie Says Tom Cruise Is ‘Very Serious’ About Making a Les Grossman Movie: ‘It Ultimately Comes Down to What That Character Is’


'Mission: Impossible' director Christopher McQuarrie says Tom Cruise is 'very serious' about starring in a standalone Les Grossman movie.

In a recent appearance on Josh Horowitz’s “ Happy Sad Confused Podcast,” “ Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” director Christopher McQuarrie said he and Cruise have had some very real discussions about making a standalone Les Grossman film.

If the performance of McQuarrie and Cruise’s latest collaboration is any indication of future success, then the Les Grossman movie is sure to be a hit.
