Mission: Impossible was released on 22 May 1996.

Paramount Pictures owned the rights to the Mission: Impossible TV series (which ran for 7 seasons from 1966-1973) and had wanted to make a film version for years, but didn't commit until Tom Cruise wanted it to be the first film for his recently formed production company. Cruse hired Brian de Palma to direct and de Palma brought on David Koepp, Robert Towne, and Steven Zaillian to write the screenplay.

Mission: Impossible was the first film to open in more than 3,000 theaters, and despite mixed reviews, the film went on to be the 3rd highest-grossing film of the year and would go on to spawn 7 sequels.

Ripley (2024) dir. by Steven Zaillian

If there was any sensation he hated, it was that of being followed, by anybody. And lately he had it all the time. Patricia Highsmith, The Talented Mr. Ripley

I wanted somebody older. I didn’t understand what the big deal would be that some guy’s son ran off to Europe at 25. That’s the story of every 25-year-old today. And so Tom Ripley would logically be the same age as Dickie Greenleaf [played by Johnny Flynn]. If he’s older, he’s more desperate. They’re both desperate. Ripley has been at this longer. He and Dickie have been around long enough to know that they’re failures.
