Mission: Impossible 2 director John Woo clarifies rumors that Tom Cruise took over editing the 2000 action hit. Cruise had a smash with 1996’s Brian De Palma-directed adaptation of the classic 1960s super-spy TV show. For the 2000 sequel, the star and producer enlisted famed Face/Off director Woo to take the helm, and lend the film some of his signature style. The resulting movie grossed $546 million worldwide, guaranteeing the Mission: Impossible franchise would continue to live on (as it does to this day).
