Interview with Joe Kraemer on Mission Impossible Rogue

Composer Joe Kraemer discusses scoring Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, his first interview ever to air on Movie Week in Review. He talks about working with director Christopher McQuarrie and star Tom Cruise, how he wove the original Lalo Schifrin theme throughout the score while keeping a retro, percussion-heavy sound inspired by the 1966 TV series, and his deliberate approach to scoring action sequences like the motorcycle chase. Kraemer also shares his background growing up in upstate New York and how a childhood friendship with filmmaker Scott Storm led to his career in film scoring.
