The film 'Marty Supreme' features a pivotal flashback where Béla, a Holocaust survivor and former Auschwitz prisoner, shares a surreal story of disarming bombs and smothering himself in honey, highlighting themes of resilience and humanity amidst the horrors of WWII, which helps unlock the movie's deeper narrative.
Director Christopher McQuarrie revealed that he considered using 'de-aging' effects to cast Julia Roberts in a flashback scene for Mission: Impossible 7, where she would have portrayed the late girlfriend of Tom Cruise's character. However, the idea was ultimately scrapped due to the high cost of de-aging multiple actors. McQuarrie opted to cast Mariela Garriga instead and avoided showing the faces of Cruise and Esai Morales during the scene. The use of de-aging effects remains a divisive topic among audiences, as seen with the reaction to Harrison Ford's de-aged appearance in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Mission: Impossible 7 has received positive reviews and has grossed $370.9 million globally since its release.
