Just a few months before the "Mission: Impossible 5"'s scheduled release, news broke out that Christopher McQuarrie paused from filming to rethink the ending that will top all kinds of endings. Even though it was a critical stage already for the movie, Tom Cruise, McQuarrie and one mystery writer sat down and started rewriting the perfect ending for the fifth installment of the movie franchise. Fans are worrying that this might affect the film since it's running out of time for post-production procedures. Is this ending really worth risking the whole movie for? We'll have to wait for the movie to find out. Meanwhile, the world has been placing bets on who this mystery writer might be.
The mystery writer that joined the director and lead actor got the world's attention. Some are guessing that it might be Simon Pegg and some put a bet that it might be Drew Pearce. Whoever that unnamed third writer is, he or she did a good job on keeping his or her identity. It's probably one of the things to look out for in the following weeks. McQuarrie on the other hand knew how the world craved for answers so he posted a picture of a silhouette on Twitter that captioned, "Live, from the set of M:I5 finale, the "unknown writer" sends his regards to @thr before cashing his paycheck." Why did they need to keep the writer's identity a secret? Whether it's marketing or security purposes, it surely did a good job on keeping the fans wanting more and more.
The film is still low on the details, including the fact that it hasn't released any official poster or trailer yet. Perhaps the team is preparing for something big that's why they're waiting for the production to wrap up before releasing any collaterals. Despite the pause in production, reports say that the team already resumed shooting right after and they are still on track. Despite the break, they still have plenty of time to shoot the film and do the necessary adjustments.
So who do you think was that mystery writer that everyone's talking about? Comment your thoughts and bets below. "Mission : Impossible 5" will hit the theaters on July 31.
