Joe Carnahan

Was hired to direct Misión: Imposible 3 (2006) but left the project.

(on current male film stars) Think about a guy like Bob Mitchum, with his kind of chest gut not defining itself one way or the other. Was there anybody tougher? Lee Marvin was a Marine sniper during the Second World War. They had this sense of themselves, and they had this product of being a man in a masculine way. I think that's why Liam Neeson is experiencing this renaissance at sixty years old, because we've run out of that ilk, man. We don't have 'em anymore. I can count 'em on one hand.
