MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 6 Star’s Stunt Injury Presets Shut Down Thru October

By now you’ve probably seen the viral video of actor Tom Cruise injuring himself during a stunt on the Paris set of the sixth Mission Impossible film. Thankfully it hasn’t suffered tragedy currently being endured on two other known productions this summer, but it does exemplify the dangers stunt performers, and even bold actors face when pushing the envelope –  something Cruise is known to do.

Well… pushing it this time around has cost him, at least tentatively, sending the production into an eight-week hiatus, and producers into troubleshooting mode, according to sources reported by The Wrap. The injury in question occured when Cruise, wire rigged for a jump from one platform of a building to another, leapt too short and slammed his knees into the adjacent wall, forcing him to catch himself before trying and failing to continue the take in mid-limp.

The goal now as producers weigh their options is to recommence principal photography in October and wrap before Christmas. July 27, 2018 is the set date for Paramount’s latest entry into the Mission: Impossible hexology from returning director Christopher McQuarrie.

Vanessa Kirby In Talks To Join MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 6

The sixth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise has been a bit stifled but is slowly taking shape nonetheless for its Spring start date and presumably 2018 release. Thus, casting news this week confirmed Netflix series The Crown co-star Vanessa Kirby was in talks for a role in the new film which will ultimately see actor Tom Cruise back in the role of IMF agent Ethan Hunt.

Details of her role are pending among others while Variety reports Cruise is producing the film with producer David Ellison, and with a script by Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation helmer Christopher McQuarrie who is back in the director’s chair. Also expected to return are actor Jeremy Renner for his third outing in the franchise since landing via Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, and Simon Pegg who has been with the series since Mission: Impossible 3 while actress Rebecca Ferguson who lit up the screen in the previous film as disavowed British agent Ilsa Faust may well return following earlier uncertain reports.

Cruise next returns to the big screen in Alex Kurtzman’s forthcoming reboot, The Mummy on June 9.

Rebecca Ferguson Is Reportedly Signed For MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 6

Paramount

Showbiz411 reportedly has it on good terms that actress Rebecca Ferguson will likely be reprising her role as Ilsa in the forthcoming production of the sixth Mission: Impossible film. The news comes within months since actor Tom Cruise confirmed a new movie was in development back in July in the wake of the film’s successful theatrical release with word of Christopher McQuarrie’s return to the director’s chair as of recent.

Ferguson contribued greatly to her role in the film which takes off initially as a wild card for lead character Ethan Hunt as he and his team faced off with a rogue terrorist organization of anti-spy mercenaries nearly equal in skill and scope. Moreover, the actress who is currently tackling director Tate Taylor’s thriller, The Girl On The Train, is also the first actress to come aboard the film with more information pending on the remainder of the cast.

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation went on to earn more than $700 million dollars at the box office worldwide, and deservedly so. The sixth film remains without a title but will likely commence next year while Cruise also plots other upcoming titles, including the currently-filming Jack Reacher 2: Never Go Back, a hopeful Edge Of Tomorrow sequel and a reboot of The Mummy starring Sofia Boutella.

Stay tuned!
