      Tom Cruise Films High Risk Stunt as 'Mission: Impossible 7' Starts Production in Norway

      by

      Paramount Pictures

      On his first day back as Ethan Hunt, the actor is seen pulling a death-defying stunt that sees him riding a motorbike before it leaps off a massive ramp in the middle of a mountainside scenery.
      Sep 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tom Cruise is always up for a new challenge when it comes to filming his action scene and he may have taken it to another level during the shooting of “Mission: Impossible VIII”. The movie production resumed on Sunday, September 6 in Norway, the lead actor was caught on camera pulling a death-defying stunt.
      In footage obtained by Norwegian news site VGTV, a man who is believed to be the Ethan Hunt depicter is seen riding a motorbike on a massive ramp in with a long drop to the bottom at the end of it in the middle of a mountainside scenery. He’s riding it on full speed before going off the ramp.
      The man waits for a while before deploying his parachute to safety, but the the motorbike doesn’t fare quite so well. For the filming of the high-risk scene, a camera-mounted helicopter and a drone camera are seen capturing the whole stunt.
      On Sunday, director Christopher McQuarrie seemed to tease the said stunt with a behind-the-scenes picture shared on his Instagram page. In the image, a man is seen standing in the middle of the said ramp. “Action…#MI7 Day 1,” he captioned it.

      “Mission: Impossible VIII” began filming earlier this year in Venice, but it was halted in February when the coronavirus pandemic hit Italy. Three weeks later, filming resumed in Surrey, England. Production took another hiatus in July, before the crew were given a permission to resume filming in England without going through the mandatory 14-day quarantine.
      For the filming in Norway, the movie officials have reportedly rented out two cruise ships in an effort to keep the cast and crew coronavirus-free. The two vessels run by Norwegian cruise line bosses at Hurtigruten serve as alternatives to hotels and allow for social distancing, in a bid to prevent any further delays to the production following the months-long shutdown.
      First assistant director Tommy Gormley has said that they hope to finish production by spring 2021. “We hope to visit all the countries we planned to and look to do a big chunk of it back in the U.K. on the backlot and in the studio, so September through to end April/May is our targets,” he shared. “We are convinced we can do this.”
      Also starring Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson (II) and Vanessa Kirby, the seventh installment of the “M: I” film series which is set to arrive on November 19, 2021.

      Tom Cruise Refuses to Run Alongside Co-Stars in His Movies

      by

      WENN

      According to Annabelle Wallis, the ‘Mission: Impossible’ actor doesn’t let his co-stars run alongside him on screen and recalls how she convinced him to make an exception for her.
      Aug 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tom Cruise apparently doesn’t like anyone to run next to him on screen.
      According to actress Annabelle Wallis, who starred alongside 58-year-old Cruise in 2017’s “The Mummy”, the actor initially refused to allow her to sprint with him during filming.
      Explaining how she convinced him to change his mind, the star explained, “He’s on a different level, and, you know, I ticked a box. I got to run on-screen with him, but he told me no at first. He said, ‘Nobody runs on-screen (with me),’ and I said, ‘But I’m a really good runner.’ ”
      “So, I would time my treadmill so that he’d walk in and see me run. And then he added all these running scenes,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “So, that was it. It was, like, better than an Oscar. I was so happy! I was so happy that I got to run on-screen with Tom Cruise. But I don’t think it ever goes away and I hope it never does.”
      Wallis gushed of working with the “Top Gun” star, “It’s so wonderful to be excited by someone and in awe of what they’ve achieved in their lives. Yeah, good on him. And I hope the questions never stop. I love talking about him. It’s really cool.”

      Tom Cruise Furious After Motorbike Explosion Causes Another 'Mission: Impossible 7' Filming Delay

      by

      Paramount Pictures

      The set of the Christopher McQuarrie-directed movie is reportedly temporarily closed again as there’s an investigation ongoing on what went wrong during the filming of the motorbike stunt.
      Aug 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Mission: Impossible VII” filming is hit with yet another delay, just a month the crew were given a permission to resume filming in England. This time, the production came to a halt after a motorbike stunt gone wrong.
      On Tuesday, August 11, a stuntman shot one of the most expensive action sequences filmed in the U.K. that took six weeks to prepare, according to The Sun. Despite the long and intensive preparation, on the day of the filming, things didn’t go as planned as the bike exploded after a leap from a ramp.
      “This has been a massive challenge to stage and has cost a fortune, not to mention weeks and weeks of construction. But when it came to the big day, it went horribly wrong,” a source tells the site. “The idea was for the stuntman to land on some huge pillows filled with card to cushion the blow, while the bike safely crashed to the ground a few metres away.”
      “Unfortunately, it was miscalculated,” the source adds, before detailing what went wrong, “The heat and the friction of the tyres meant that when the bike crashed, the cardboard padding sparked and went up in flames. The smoke was so bad they had to close a nearby RAF airfield.”
      It’s reported that “nobody was hurt but it’s a total catastrophe, not to mention extremely expensive for all concerned.” Nevertheless, Oxfordshire Fire Service dispatched five engines and crews to control the fire, while ambulances also raced to the quarry in case of any injury.
      Tom Cruise, who checked out the stunt set-up the day before the accident, is believed to have been working with a parachute for a quarry “snow scene” at the time of the blaze. The actor, who also produces the upcoming movie, is said to be “very frustrated” as the source notes, “Nobody wants more delays.”
      Following the incident, the set has been temporarily closed as an investigation is ongoing on what went wrong.
      “Mission: Impossible 7” had been filming in Italy, when COVID-19 pandemic hit the country in February. Three weeks later, filming resumed in Surrey, England. Production took another hiatus in July, before the crew were given a permission to resume filming in England without going through the mandatory 14-day quarantine.
      Christopher McQuarrie serves as director for the seventh installment of the “M: I” film series which is set to arrive on November 19, 2021. Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson (II) and Vanessa Kirby also star in the movie.

      Tom Cruise Jumps Out of Chopper in Daredevil Stunt as 'Mission: Impossible 7' Resumes Filming

      by

      WENN

      The Ethan Hunt depicter is back on set, filming a thrilling stunt in the United kingdom countryside for the upcoming seventh installment of the ‘Mission: Impossible’.
      Aug 3, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Action man Tom Cruise is back to tackling daredevil stunts on camera after resuming production on his latest “Mission: Impossible” sequel.
      The actor, who turned 58 last month (Jul20), recently returned to work on “Mission: Impossible 7” in the U.K. after the coronavirus pandemic forced director Christopher McQuarrie to halt filming back in March, and last week (ends31Jul20), Cruise was spotted jumping out of a helicopter in the Oxfordshire countryside.
      He was joined by two castmembers for the skydive, 10,000 feet (3,048 metres) up in the sky, reports the Daily Mail.

      “Mission: Impossible” fans have come to expect at least one seriously impressive action sequence from Cruise in instalments of the film franchise – in 2011’s “Ghost Protocol”, he climbed to the top of Dubai, United Arab Emirates’ sky-rise Burj Khalifa tower – the tallest building in the world – and in 2015’s “Rogue Nation”, he strapped himself to an airplane during take-off.
      He also famously broke his ankle shooting “Mission: Impossible 6” in London in 2017 when he slammed his foot into a wall after mistiming a building jump stunt.

      Tom Cruise Dodges Britain's New Quarantine Rule for 'Mission: Impossible VII' Filming

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Top Gun’ actor is believed to have arrived in the country through Biggin Hill airport outside of London just hours before the new measures for visitors came into play.
      Jun 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tom Cruise has reportedly side-stepped the British Government’s new quarantine measures by flying into the U.K. just hours before new rules for visitors came into play.
      Cruise is believed to have landed at Biggin Hill airport outside of London on Sunday, June 07 ahead of resuming filming on “Mission: Impossible VII” – just hours before U.K. government rules requiring anyone entering the country to spend 14 days in isolation came into effect.
      According to editors at British newspaper The Sun, the “Top Gun” star beat the new quarantine rules, and is now free to resume filming of the new “Mission: Impossible” movie at the blockbuster’s set at an abandoned RAF base in rural Oxfordshire.
      A source told the publication: “It’s no accident Tom arrived on Sunday night – they didn’t want their leading man locked away on his own for 14 days.”
      “There have already been so many delays to the film and everyone is keen to get it up and running at the first possible second – so slipping in before the quarantine rules came in on Monday made sense. Hopefully it will mean the film can get back on track and finished without any more delays.”
      After arriving on the 11-hour flight from Clearwater, Florida, the 57-year-old was whisked away to luxury rented accommodation in the capital – and will use a helicopter to travel to and from the set during filming breaks.
      Shooting on the latest instalment in the action franchise was halted in February, after coronavirus outbreaks prevented filming in Venice, Italy.
      Movie bosses have taken over an old Royal Air Force (RAF) site in Oxfordshire where they are reportedly building sets, and a village of high-end trailers so Cruise and the rest of the cast can live there in a pandemic-proof bubble while shooting.

      Tom Cruise to Resume Filming 'Mission: Impossible 7' in September

      by

      Paramount Pictures

      The cast and crew members of the next ‘Mission: Impossible’ installment will be back to work this coming fall without any changes to the filming locations.
      Jun 3, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tom Cruise will resume shooting “Mission: Impossible 7” in September 2020 following a forced hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the film’s first assistant director.
      Production on the movie was shut down in Italy in February, as the European nation emerged as one of the epicentres of the pandemic, with plans to shift production to London also scuppered when the U.K. also had to impose a lockdown due to the spread of the coronavirus.
      Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Tuesday, June 2, 2020, Tommy Gormley, first assistant director to helmer Christopher McQuarrie, said the cast and crew plan to start shooting in the autumn – and won’t alter any locations.
      “We hope to restart in September,” he revealed. “We hope to visit all the countries we planned to. We hope to do a big chunk of it back in the U.K. on the backlot and in the studio.”
      Gormley went on to assert that he is “convinced” that the Paramount production could be finished by May at the latest and ready for its November 2021 release date with time to spare.
      Cast and crew, including Cruise, who plays superspy Ethan Hunt in the hit franchise, were in Venice, Italy waiting to shoot scenes when they had to leave the country as it imposed a stringent lockdown due to a surge in Covid-19 cases.
      Gormley went on to say that troublesome location shoots or stunt set-pieces would not be moved, shelved, or rendered with CGI due to the difficulties posed by the pandemic.
      “This is our challenge,” he added. “We are not a chamber piece movie. We do spectacle, and that is what people expect of us.”
      Film and TV productions in the U.K. are now getting up and running again as the country eases its lockdown, with some resuming as early as next week, albeit with strict social distancing regulations.

      NASA Official Hopes for Tom Cruise to Inspire the Next Elon Musk With His Space-Themed Movie

      by

      WENN

      The NASA administrator has high hope for Tom Cruise’s next big-screen project which, in collaboration with Tesla founder, will be filmed in the outer space.
      Jun 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tom Cruise’s “Top Gun” character Lieutenant Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell inspired NASA Administrator James Bridenstine to embark on a career as a Navy pilot.
      The actor leads the action movie franchise, which began in 1986, and his U.S. Navy pilot character prompted Bridenstine to follow a similar career path, which led him to the job he’s in today.
      “There was a day when I was in elementary school and I saw Top Gun. From that day, I knew I was going to be a Navy pilot. It’s just the way it was,” he said while gearing up for the launch of the SpaceX rocket this weekend, reported JustJared.com. “The goal here (is similar], and it’s what we’re doing today (with the rocket launch).”
      NASA officials are planning to shoot a new movie onboard the International Space Station with Cruise, and Bridenstine confessed he hopes the actor will similarly inspire a new generation to embark on a career in science.
      “If we can get Tom Cruise to inspire an elementary kid to join the Navy and be a pilot, why can’t we get Tom Cruise to inspire the next Elon Musk? That’s what we need,” he added.
      “We need a new generation of many Elon Musks. That’s what we’re doing with our launch (and the film). It’s all about the next generation.”
      Doug Liman is currently attached to direct the movie, with tech mogul Musk also reportedly on board with the project alongside his Space X partners.
