Lahore, 4th June: The shooting of Tom Cruise’s movie Mission Impossible: 7 got shut down once again due to COVID-19.
According to reports, Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise faces another hitch during the filming of his movie Mission Impossible 7 (MI:7) after some crew members tested positive for the coronavirus.
Paramount Pictures confirmed on Thursday that while filming in Britain for the movie, the shoot has been shut down for two weeks as some people working on the movie contracted the virus.
The movie studio did not reveal who or how many people tested positive, however, Britain’s Sun newspaper confirmed that Tom Cruise is not one of them.
The statement released by Paramount Pictures said, “We have temporarily stopped the production of Mission Impossible 7 until June 14, after some members tested positive for coronavirus during routine tests of the team.”
