May 21, 2025Mission: Impossible 8 is the best of the franchise, says Simon Pegg
Sure it is. That's literally what everyone says who's hyping a movie in a franchise. I've heard it countless times. It's been true exactly 0 times (for any that I can ever remember). But I hope it's another home run on par with Ghost Protocol and Fallout. More on reddit.com

October 5, 2024Simon Pegg on Saying Goodbye to ‘Mission: Impossible’ and How the Franchise Rescued Him From a Battle With Depressive Alcoholism: ‘It Gave Me Real Focus When I Needed Focus’
“They had a sober companion for me — and just really looked after me,” he says, singling out Abrams and incoming director Brad Bird for their efforts. “I felt very taken care of and felt valued, because they bothered to do that.” Cruise also got involved, telling Pegg: “You’re going to get in shape for this film — you’re an agent now!” He jokes that during anyone carefully watching a scene in which the two of them walk across Red Square he drops 20lbs in a single edit. “I kind of found this joy in looking after myself and just realizing that if I ate well and went to the gym I could actually feel good,” he says. “So I credit ‘Mission’ with rescuing me — because it gave me real focus at a time when I needed focus. And I just had the best time on ‘Ghost Protocol.’” More on reddit.com
