While filming Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol's dizzying Burj Khalifa climbing sequence, director Brad Bird reveals the crew had to break 35 windows because the building's windows don't actually open.
The film crew behind director Brad Bird’s 2011 entry in the Mission: Impossible franchise, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, broke 35 windows while filming in Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. Known for its status as the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa’s incorporation in M:I4 remains its central highlight and arguably one of the greatest moments in the entire spy-thriller franchise.
“And you really have to break the windows to take them out and then put new ones in – so we did it in about five locations and once we started we said, well, can we break a few more? And we ended up breaking like 35 windows. We did just about everything except the super close-up where you’re looking up underneath Tom – those were done on a reproduction of the building because there’s no reason to go through all the trouble if you’re just going to be in a close-up.
