Name: "rado"De Palma fans will enjoy the trailer to Mel Gibson's Hacksaw Ridge and recognise the themes of stubbornness and unwavering moral stance from Casualties of War.

As much as I admire De Palma's masterful visual framing and planning Phillip Noyce 1997 espionage thriller THE SAINT is a far more entertaining spy film. THE SAINT had a minor $68 million budget with an abundance of motion and movement. THE SAINT had quite a good and more expansive story. The actors had stronger personalities compared to some of the wooden moments of acting in MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE. The star of MI is De Palma in the way he visualizes an extremely ordinary narrative and an obvious villian. the story isn't that good. THE SAINT wasn't as popular as MI considering De Palma at the time had the biggest actor in the world headling his film.
Paramount has bought the rights to THE SAINT and plans a franchise similar to MI.

Apparently Sydney Pollack was set to direct Mission:Impossible before Brian De Palma came aboard.
Sydney Pollack was also set to direct The Saint movie with Ralf Fiennes and Hugh Grant. Ralf Fiennes turned down the role because he thought the script was driving fast cars and breaking in to Swiss banks has been done before many times over. The irony was that Fiennes accepted the role of John Steed in The Avengers. One of the biggest stinkers to have come out of Warner Brothers, and a creative and box office dud. The film was mangled by disastrous test screen surveys that ended up in taking out 35 minutes from a 115 minute running time to an appalling 79 minute running time.
One does not say no to a director such as Pollack who directed instant classics such as Three Days Of The Condor, The Yakuza, The Firm and The Interpreter. Fiennes turned down Pollack to only go with an inexperienced director to make a mangled piece of filmmaking that was The Avengers. Doesn't make any sense!
