* TroubledProduction: As noted by Creator/ChristopherMcQuarrie during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPn0PYCfudI an interview]] promoting ''Film/MissionImpossibleDeadReckoningPartOne'', ''Ghost Protocol'''s production was married with delays and ExecutiveMeddling. [=McQuarrie=] himself noted that he was "parachuted" into the franchise to rewrite the film more than midway through the production. At that point, a large number of second unit[=/=]exterior shots had been completed, and dialogue and setpieces had to be substantially rewritten to fit in with a new plotline for the film and to cut down on the runtime due to budget overages. (Benji's glib line, "Blue is glue, red is dead," in reference to the climbing gloves, was suggested by [=McQuarrie=] on his first day of involvement in order to functionally avoid a lengthy (and costly) expository sequence.) As a result, major swaths of the plot had to be rewritten to accommodate the participation of the supporting cast. Benji's rescue of Brandt during the climax of the film was only added in after [=McQuarrie=] promised Creator/SimonPegg that he would find something exciting for the actor to do, after having to cut down part of the team's scenes during the second act of the film due to budget cuts, and was only accomplished through [=McQuarrie=] convincing Paramount executives (who were ''extremely'' reluctant to give the Benji character any focus) to have the scene added in.
