According to writer-director Christopher McQuarrie, the original script for Mission: Impossible – Fallout clocked in at only 33 pages, which is completely unheard of for a film of this scale.
The script, which contained a number of scenes that were driven exclusively by over-the-top stunts, was eventually rounded out with a lot more character work after Cruise broke his ankle while filming, allowing McQuarrie an opportunity to get a little more cerebral in his exploration of Ethan Hunt’s morals and ethics. The rewritten scenes shine through, as the character of Ethan feels a lot more genuine and alive in this film than in most of the previous Mission: Impossible entries.
