8 More Recent Movie Moments IMPOSSIBLE To Watch The Same After This
1. Simon Pegg Recorded Dialogue For One Specific Scene On His Phone - M:I - Dead Reckoning Part One
There's a rather creepy moment there in the middle of Tom Cruise and the gang's latest impossible mission when Dead Reckoning's big bad AI villain decides to impersonate none other than Simon Pegg's loveable IMF technical field agent Benji Dunn.
After pretending to be Benji as Ethan Hunt is once again being guided by his long-time pal, the inaccurate information sent to Hunt in this moment ultimately leads to the shocking death of Ilsa Faust.
And as Pegg and director Christopher McQuarrie discussed what they felt the Entity's version of Benji's voice needed to sound like during the making of the flick, the former ended up recording lines from home and sending these chunks back to the latter in the edit.
The actor would also reveal to SlashFilm that though he did end up doing some more ADR for the unsettling Entity moment, the version he provided on his phone from home ended up being "the best pitched version of it," with the director wanting something that sounded like the AI had simply been recording Benji's voice and was now suddenly choosing to become him.
So, there you have it. That horrifying Benji impression The Entity uses to trick Ethan in the finished feature was actually recorded from the comfort of Pegg's own home on something as simple as his mobile.
