STK685196-3Over on the Empire Podcast (below), Christopher McQuarrie, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation‘s director, gives us an incredibly in-depth interview. He talks about the latest M:I (of course), but also tells us about the lessons learned from working on several of the other films in his impressive filmography (Usual Suspects, The Way of The Gun, Edge of Tomorrow — just to name a few).
