MUSIC BY MICHAEL GIACCHINO

A very special thanks to my own crack IMF team (Impossible Music Force).
As Ethan Hunt mentions in the film—we work best as a team,
and without you this mission would have NEVER been accomplished.
And to my kids—thanks for your support and enthusiasm (and Griffy,
congratulations on your budding musicianship, I’m so proud of you!)

A NOTE FROM DIRECTOR BRAD BIRD
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL may not have been Tom Cruise’s or J.J. Abrams’ first MISSION, but
it was mine. In fact, it was the first live-action film I’d ever had the opportunity to direct … and it was a doozy.
For me, everything about this latest MISSION — its huge scope, its crushingly tight schedule, its complex
set-pieces, its ever-morphing script — was challenging, even scary.
But two things comforted me going in; the incredibly high caliber of our cast and crew, and knowing that a
familiar face and talent was waiting for me at the end of the process — both belonging to Michael Giacchino.
Michael had written the wonderful scores for my previous two films THE INCREDIBLES and RATATOUILLE,
as well as the previous MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE that J.J. directed.
So I took a deep, cleansing breath and dove in with the knowledge that whatever problems we encountered,
the film was sure to sound great.
After shooting in 6 countries on 4 continents, though hot weather and cold, I am happy to report that we have
made the kind of popcorn-crunching film I’d hoped we would, and Michael's music has only made it better.
It is a globe-trotting score, swinging wildly from feeling to feeling, from chilly suspense to brawny adrenaline
to borderline giddiness … all with a musicality that is rare among contemporary film scores.
One of the things that drew me to the project was Tom’s insistence that each of the MISSION films reflect
the style of its director, and one of the first things that J.J. (who produced our film with Tom and Bryan Burk)
asked me when I came aboard was “are there any things that you’ve always wanted in a spy movie?”
It is the sort of question that every filmmaker wants to be asked, and I answered with an assortment of
ideas that found their way into the finished film. But having listened to it several times now, I realize there
is one more thing I’ve always wanted in a spy movie …
… a score like this.
— Brad Bird
