EP 63 | Erik Jendresen, Screenwriter ('Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning')
This week on the show, it’s Erik Jendresen —an Emmy-winning Hollywood screenwriter whose credits include the HBO mini-series BAND OF BROTHERS, as well as the two latest installments in the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE franchise.
In today’s conversation, deep dive into the writing and making of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING (2023) and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING (2025). Erik discusses the reasons the two films were shot simultaneously over the course of four years, and the ways the projects developed — including the actor who was originally cast in the role of the film’s main villain; we also discuss a secret WWII thriller which Erik wrote during the pandemic, and the circumstances that brought Tom Cruise to choose it as his next movie. All of this… and much more!
