Christopher McQuarrie didn’t want to make movies anymore. After taking up producing and writing duties on the Tom Cruise-starring Valkyrie in 2008, the director admitted to being frustrated with "taking a lot of meetings" and not making movies.
"I was fully confident every day was my last day on the job," McQuarrie tells GamesRadar+ and Total Film. "I was waiting for them to figure out that I didn’t know how to produce movies. I had never produced one before. I was waiting to be fired – and wouldn’t blame them for doing so."
