Christopher McQuarrie is all set to drop the upcoming movie Mission Impossible franchise in theaters. The cast and crew of the film held a special screening for a few lucky fans, and recalling the reactions of the audience, the filmmaker claimed that he believes to have done something right.

In his conversation with Empire magazine, the director revealed that one of the members from the audience went on to share that he almost had a heart attack throughout the action sequence, and hearing the statement made McQuarrie happy. 

Elaborating on the statements, the filmmaker revealed, "We had a small screening, and someone said, 'I was suffocating throughout the entire sequence. I almost had a heart attack.’” Adding about his reaction, the ace director said, "And I thought, 'I guess we did something right.'” 

While sitting down for an interview with the media portal, McQuarrie further explained that the movie will include some of the difficult stunts across the franchise. Though the director did not reveal the details of the scene, he claimed that it is "the most difficult thing" Tom Cruise has ever filmed.
