Mission: Impossible And More Movies Granted Quarantine Exemption For UK Filming

By James White

 

 

Ethan Hunt can do many things – though a lot of it boils down to hanging off of objects and vehicles in the line of duty – and, it would appear, getting government ministers to alter rules on filming Covid regulations. Or, at least, Tom Cruise can.

 

At a press conference this weekend, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden announced that big films such as Mission: Impossible 7, The Batman, Jurassic World: Dominion, Fantastic Beasts 3 and Sony's musical version of Cinderella will be able to sidestep quarantine rules for those arriving into the country, provided cast and crew are restricted to "bubble" environment – i.e. only moving between accommodation and sets for shooting.

 

The move came partly after Dowden talked to Cruise.

 

And, more confusingly, the films are only going to be shot in the UK, which would not be the norm for the Mission movies in particular, with their tendency to dart around the world as writer/director Christopher McQuarrie finds places he wants to throw Cruise into physical danger in the name of stunts. However, perhaps, the power of The Tom means this is just another consideration that the franchise can ignore.
