How Vienna Nabbed 'Mission: Impossible 5' Shoot, World Premiere "This was by far the biggest production we had in Vienna at least since I can remember," said Marijana Stoisits, who heads up the Vienna Film Commission as its managing director. She adds: "From the beginning, they wanted to shoot in the State Opera, so that was one of the first locations we showed them. I had heard that Tom Cruise knew Vienna and the State Opera and he was very keen on shooting here. And director Christopher McQuarrie and the rest of the team also were very enthusiastic . . . . the Opera was interested from the beginning," recalls Stoisits. "It was just about making it work time-wise" One of the biggest challenges was closing down Vienna's Ringstrasse, a circular road surrounding the city center that gives access to many of Vienna's key sights, during the shoot for four days as the film team requested. "That’s a central street in the middle of the city, but I was in contact with the city administration and the mayor at an early stage and said we have this chance and all want the production to come here, so we have to make things work," recalls Stoisits. "They agreed and really supported us, and we pulled it off. Even Tom Cruise himself said he didn’t think this would work out." For the Thursday evening world premiere and the days leading up to it, the Ringstrasse will also be partially closed. How did Vienna get the premiere? "During shooting Tom Cruise said it would be fantastic to premiere the film in the State Opera, and I agreed," Stoisits recalls. But the film was supposed to open in December. "The State Opera is fully booked for the next two to three years except for its summer break, so there was no way to have the film premiere here," she explains. "But we got lucky, because they ended up moving up the release of the film to August. So suddenly we had this open window for the State Opera." With buzz in the city already building for the premiere, she says it will be a treat for the film commission, the city and, she hopes, the film team. "I think they would not come back if they hadn't had a positive and good experience in Vienna," Stoisits says. "For us, it is a great honor." Full Article at SOURCE

Long Article Alert! Posting part one as the teaser, follow the link at the bottom for the full deal. Director Christopher McQuarrie's unlikely path to 'Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation' Near a leafy square in this bustling capital, filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie sat in a screening room, tilting his head at scenes from the new movie "Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation." In one scene, Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt slid a BMW, Formula One style, through narrow streets in Morocco and, in another, dangled shirtless while wryly absorbing a brutal beating. McQuarrie made mental notes as he contemplated his biggest movie yet and one of the splashiest of the summer when it opens July 31. McQuarrie had been staring at the scenes hundreds of times, and he was scrutinizing it on this May afternoon for the kind of nuances undetectable to the rest of us: sound design, tonal integrity, even fingerprints of his influences. "I was watching Hitchcock's 'The Man Who Knew Too Much' the other night and thought, 'People are just going to think I stole from that,' he said a few minutes later as he discussed an extended "Mission" assassination scene set during a performance in a European opera house. Told that it was unlikely the Friday date-night crowd would be so keyed in — and couldn't he just say he didn't see it? — he flashed an unconvinced look. "I can say that. But I don't know if they'll believe me." . . . keep reading at the SOURCE
