Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation director Christopher McQuarrie has said Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception inspires a sequence from his upcoming movie.
McQuarrie was asked how the plane stunt, which feature’s Tom Cruise’s character Ethan Hunt holding onto the side of a airplane as it takes off, was created.
The director replied by by saying it was a result of a “group effort” and “Uncharted,” referring to the cargo plane sequence in Uncharted 3, during which Nathan Drake catches up to an aircraft and hops onto a landing wheel as lifts off.
Following the Tweet, Uncharted 3 co-director Justin Richmond replied ro McQuarrie saying “you just made my month.”
