The film uses brief glimpses into Ethan Hunts life before he joined the IMF.
It would be Tony Scotts Mission: Impossible.
I looked back at who was the ingenue, who was the breakout star in 1989?
Julia RobertsTom Munro
And right around then wasMystic Pizza.
And I was like, Oh my God.
Julia Roberts, a then-pre-Pretty WomanJulia Roberts, as this young woman.
Costs also played into the decision.
I got the bill for de-aging those people before their salaries were even factored into it.
And of course, that wouldnt be the style of the movie in 1989.
That wouldnt make sense if you were shooting an 89 Mission like a 2023 Mission.
