It's being reported that Paramount won't be shooting their eighth "Mission: Impossible" installment back to back with "Mission: Impossible 7". The shifting release calendar is said to be the reason,
The film's star, Tom Cruise, will also be unavailable due to promotional duties for the upcoming Top Gun: Maverick film, which is slated for a July 2 release.
After many obstacles, the worldwide production for the film has now wrapped. Director Christopher McQuarrie took to Instagram yesterday to post the following:
"What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well."
- Antoine De Saint Exupery
Grace and graciousness, magic and majesty, hospitality and hope.
Of the many challenges we've faced on our journey, none will be greater than outshining the gifts Abu Dhabi has given us.
On behalf of our entire cast and crew, sincerest and most heartfelt thanks to the Government of Abu Dhabi, His Excellency Mohamed Al Mubarak, the Abu Dhabi Film Commission, twofour54, Etihad Airways and CEO Tony Douglas, ADAC and CEO Shareef Al Hashmi, HM Ambassador to the UAE Patrick Moody, The United States Marine Corps and all of our incredible military personnel.
And, of course, thanks to our extraordinary local cast, crew and the very fine people of Abu Dhabi. We shall most sincerely miss you until we see you again.
Now back to London for a few finishing touches. All aboard for our greatest challenge yet...
