Production on the latest Mission: Impossible movie has become a nightmare, according to insiders.
Star Tom Cruise infamously went off on crew for breaking COVID protocols last year, and the situation has continued to be tense.
A source tells the UK’s Sun that a “lot of us would love to cut our losses and leave things for a while, then pick up when we can.” Another source adds, “But Tom is completely obsessed with finishing and nothing will stop him. He’s the most determined person. It’s impressive, but a nightmare.”
Tom has resorted to unleashing robots to enforce COVID-19 safety on the set, which has moved to the United Arab Emirates. The production team is said to be “up in arms and just want to go home.”
Mickey magazine, citing The Express Newspaper, says Disney is considering rehiring Johnny Depp to play Captain Jack Sparrow in the next Pirates of the Caribbean film. A source tells the news outlets, “Rumours are rife that the Change.org petitions have forced the makers to reconsider.” Over 600,000 fans have signed a petition calling for Johnny to return.
When Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda return to HBO, they’ll probably be in masks. That’s because the Sex and the City reboot will incorporate the pandemic in its storylines. Star Sara Jessica Parker tells Vanity Fair, “[COVID-19 will] obviously be part of the storyline, because that’s the city [these characters] live in. And how has that changed relationships once friends disappear? I have great faith that the writers are going to examine it all.”
