I've been on a press tour for four months.
I really don't know what day it is.
Yeah, we started in Tokyo, Seoul, Cannes, London, here. And this is my last engagement. What a way to end the tour. Oh, wow. Thanks so much.
Did you hand out flyers all day long? All day long.
And you do it again. For like a month. It's like a month long. It's an amazing, amazing festival.
Do you remember those days? I do. I did Edinburgh in 95. And I had a little show. I had my goldfish with me. And he was called Rover. And I would perform poetry on behalf of my goldfish, Rover. who was a Marxist. And I actually would take the real fish with me. It took me like a year to realize I could just put a carrot in there and no one would know, you know. But yeah, it was great.
And then as a result of that, I got a tour of Australia and, you know, it opens a lot of doors, Edinburgh. A lot of people are there. Right.
Yeah. I mean, it was a little, you know, I mean, along the way. Yeah, I did some I did stand up. I always wanted to be an actor. I did a stand up coming out of university because it was a way to perform. I loved comedy and I didn't have an agent. So I, you know, stand up was a great way to to to be the master of my own. Sure. Not waiting for the phone to ring.
And then through stand-up, I got into sort of sketch comedy. And then I wrote a sitcom with my friend Jessica, which Edgar Wright directed, called Spaced. And then Shaun of the Dead happened. And then... The great...
Very, yeah. I mean, we shot that script around. We decided we had a little moment in space where I was fighting zombies. And Edgar and I were like, hey, we should make a zombie movie. I mean, we were so naive, you know, we thought, yeah, let's just do that now.
And we wrote the script and we took it around and it took a long time for someone to actually take a risk and eventually Working Title, whose parent company was Universal, they sort of stepped in and we got it made.
Absolutely. I mean, my God, I you know, I was such a fan of George Romero growing up. The best moment was when George Romero, who is the godfather of the modern zombie film, watched Shaun of the Dead in a cinema in Florida, guarded by a universal security guard like he was going to steal our movie. When the whole movie was just us stealing his movie.
And he called us afterwards, and it was like speaking to dad, you know. It was incredible. That's cool.
It's difficult because back then, in 2004, We still went at the point we are now when there are so many different ways to watch movies. Like, now, we all have, you know, the right aspect ratio for movies in our houses. Our TVs are all, you know, the right size. They're big. They're not that expensive. We have all the streamers.
The pandemic taught us that you can stay home and watch movies, and that was a terrible lesson to learn because... You know, what's better than watching a movie with a whole group? In this time at the moment when we're all at each other's throats, a movie theater is a place where you can all go and you can have a huge kind of political kind of gulf between everyone in there.
And yet you will all experience the same emotions and you will share them. And it brings people together. You know, it's important. It does. And I will say no one here applauded.
They did not applaud.
Although I would advise you being on a toilet watching this particular Mission Impossible...
Yeah, Chris McQuarrie, who's the director, did a really good job of sort of like gathering all eight movies and kind of like making this one the culmination of all of them, you know? So every choice Ethan Hunt has made through all the years leads to this. My first scene in Mission Impossible 3, which I filmed 20 years ago this year, I extol the myth of this thing called the rabbit's foot.
And McHugh, you know, very artfully managed to pull all that into it, you know. And it makes the whole thing feel very contained and, you know, it feels like an end. I mean, it calls back to even the first Mission Impossible, which is pretty interesting. Yeah, that knife.
