Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible 8 director says intense action sequence almost gave fan a 'heart attack'


Tom Cruise's death-defying stunts in his upcoming Mission: Impossible sequel were apparently too much for one unfortunate audience member.

Christopher McQuarrie, who directed the forthcoming Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning and the previous three films in the series, recently revealed to Empire Magazine that an audience member confessed that the 62-year-old actor's stunts were so intense they feared they would have a medical emergency. The trailer for Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning features clips going back to the first entry in the series — which was directed by legendary filmmaker Brian De Palma — and includes plenty of shots of Cruise — as his character Ethan Hunt — showing off his on-screen running skills. The stacked cast will also be augmented by new faces, including Bob Odenkirk, Parks & Recreation star Nick Offerman, Ted Lasso's Hannah Waddingham, Ozark actress Janet McTeer and Katy O'Brian.
