Manny The Movie Guy /

I admire Brad Bird! From "The Iron Giant" to "Ratatouille," the director is a brilliant storyteller. This interview was done as a teaser interview prior to the release of "Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol" aka "MI4." We saw half-hour worth of clips, and from what I witnessed, this one will be a great "Mission Impossible" film!

In this interview, we talked about:

How can the fourth film of the franchise be different from the other "Mission Impossible" movies?
Jumping from the animated world to the live-action world – how did Bird fulfill such nearly impossible mission?
What was his first edict when he was offered "Mission Impossible 4?"
Shooting in IMAX
Working with Tom Cruise
