Despite Tom Cruise rant over COVID-19 safety, U K remains film shoot hub

Tom Cruise rant over COVID-19 safety is latest challenge to U.K. s filming restart Anousha Sakoui © (David James) Tom Cruise stars as Ethan Hunt in 2018 s Mission: Impossible Fallout, filmed in London. (David James) Perhaps the pressure was too great. Tom Cruise, the 58-year-old movie star, earlier this month was recorded delivering an expletive-laden tirade on the U.K. set of his latest Mission: Impossible, threatening to fire crew members for supposedly flouting social distancing guidelines. The shoot for the seventh installment of the Paramount Pictures franchise was among the first to shut down in March, and it faced more delays after outbreaks among the crew. Cruise s outburst drew both support from those tired of antimaskers and condemnation from local union representatives who saw it as bullying. Some, like George Clooney, were torn, seeing a legitimate issue that could have been handled differently.

Tom Cruise COVID-19 outburst aside, UK still a filming hub

Advertisement The incident underscores how the U.K. is grappling with a rapid rise in COVID-19 cases while keeping its critically important film industry afloat. The U.K., with popular soundstages like Leavesden north of London, where “Mission: Impossible” is filmed, has allowed Hollywood studios to restart major productions. Now the region is dealing with a new, more infectious strain of the virus that has prompted numerous neighboring countries to shut their borders to it. “This will present a fresh challenge for productions in studios and on location,” said Spencer MacDonald, secretary for Bectu National, a trade union that represents 40,000 crew members and others in U.K. film and television.
