DESCRIPTION: This week we reach the centerpiece of our ongoing “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” celebration, as we chat with screenwriters and co-producers Josh Applebaum and André Nemec. In this episode we talk about the genesis for the project, discuss how Tom Cruise astutely nixed the Harrison Ford casting, and confirm that the record store opening of “Rogue Nation” was actually conceived for “Ghost Protocol.” And, of course, we get new details about the abandoned snowmobile sequence.
