Tom Cruise is set to resume filming for âMission: Impossible 7â even as coronavirus positive cases continue to rise in the UK. The filming, however, will take place at Longcross Film Studios.
As we reported earlier, the new studio is set as a COVID-19 secure set. It was initially a military base as it used to be a UK Ministry of Defence site that was used to test army tanks, but has since been redeveloped as studios, housing blockbuster productions including âSkyfall,â âThor: The Dark Worldâ and âGuardians of the Galaxyâ.
In the recent, the facility was used for production of âThe Kingâs Man,â âArtemis Fowl,â âThe Gentlemenâ and âDeath on the Nile.â
âMission: Impossible 7â filming was earlier being filmed at Warner Bros. The new Longcross Film Studios falls within Tier 4 (the highest level of restrictions), although productions are allowed to continue under strict COVID-19 protocols. The film is expected to complete principal photography at Longcross.
Tom Cruise was recently in news for having lost his cool while filming as crew members were not practicing safety guidelines. Infact, five crew members were said to have âquitâ following the âyelling episodeâ.
âMission: Impossible 7â was delayed in October when 12 people on set in Italy tested positive for COVID-19. Production resumed a week later and returned to the UK in December.
âMission: Impossible 7â is directed by Christopher McQuarrie and is scheduled to release November 19, 2021.
