“I never want to see him again, ever! And if you don’t, they fire you, if I see him again, you’re out. And if anyone on this crew does that, that’s it, and you and you too “Cruise can be heard on The Sun’s exclusive soundtrack.
The dispatch comes after two crew members were reportedly less than 2 meters apart while on the set of the film, the British tabloid reported.
“We’re the gold standard. They’re already in Hollywood making movies right now because of us! Because they believe in us and in what we’re doing,” Cruise can be told on the audio recording. “We’re creating thousands of jobs, which I never want to see again!”
Paramount Pictures is producing the film. It is currently being shot in the Warner Bros. studio. of Leavesden, Hertfordshire, outside London, where the recording was allegedly made. Warner Bros., like CNN, is owned by WarnerMedia.
“Mission: Impossible 7” had previously faced delays in the Covid-19 pandemic. In February, a three-week shoot was held in Venice, Italy, but the country had an increase in coronavirus cases, leaving production on hold.
British media reported that 12 members tested positive for Covid-19 on set in Italy in October.
British media also reported that Cruise has tried to make sure there are no further delays, even paying £ 500,000 ($ 676,000) out of pocket for a ship that the cast and crew could isolate during film production. .
“You can tell people that they are losing their homes because our industry is closed. It will not put food on the table or pay for their college education,” Cruise continued in the audio obtained by The Sun. “It’s what you sleep with every night: the future of this fantastic industry!”
“Mission: Impossible 7” is currently being shot in the UK and will be released in November 2021.
CNN has contacted the Cruise and Paramount Pictures publicist for comment. The New York Times reports that Paramount rejected his request for comment.
