Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning is the latest installment in the Mission: Impossible series, set to premiere on July 12. The film features some incredible automotive stunts that took place on the streets of Rome during filming. In a new teaser for the movie, its star, Tom Cruise, and its writer and director, Christopher McQuarrie, cover some of the exciting details of the automotive set pieces.One of the most challenging stunts in the movie involves Cruise’s character, Ethan Hunt, being handcuffed to co-star Hayley Atwell’s character, Grace. As a result, Hunt must drive away from a mysterious villain through the streets of Rome with only one hand. To make the effects work practically, Cruise had to drift through the traffic-filled, cobbled streets of the Italian capital.According to McQuarrie, “Trying to drift, every time you think you’re going in one direction, the cobblestones on the street say, ‘No, you’re not, you’re going this direction.’ I don’t think we could have made a sequence that was more difficult to shoot if I had gone out of my way to do it.”Fortunately, the chase has “really amazing results,” according to the director, and starts in a BMW 5-Series. After backing into two other vehicles with its doors open, they are torn off, leaving the cabin open to the elements. That means that Ethan and Grace must race through Rome while nearly being flung out of the car’s open doors.Fortunately, they decide that a new car is required and find a vintage Fiat 500 that was modified to be faster with an electric drivetrain. However, in a tiny vehicle with a very short wheelbase and a powerful motor at the back on cobblestones, it is a recipe for a challenging drive.While McQuarrie called the car “possessed,” the second unit director and stunt coordinator, Wade Eastwood, described it as treacherous. Neither description is hard to believe, and we’ll be interested to see what the results of all their work are when the movie hits theaters next month.Secondary Headers:The BMW 5-Series ChaseThe Fiat 500 ChaseWatch the Teaser Trailer for Mission: Impossible – Dead ReckoningThe BMW 5-Series ChaseThe BMW 5-Series chase in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning is one of the most challenging stunts in the movie.
