Tom Cruise Blasts Mission: Impossible 7 Crew For Breaking COVID Protocols, Threatens To Fire Them

After a lengthy delay thanks to the Coronavirus pandemic, Mission: Impossible 7 is now back in front of cameras and star Tom Cruise is in the headlines tonight but not due to another one of his crazy stunts. Instead, it’s for blasting crew members for not following COVID-19 protocols.

As first reported by The Sun, the Hollywood megastar spotted a couple members of the production team standing a bit too close together and absolutely lost it. “If I see you do it again you’re f*cking gone,” said Cruise. Continuing on, he launched into an explosive tirade, saying:

“We are the gold standard. They’re back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us. Because they believe in us and what we’re doing. I’m on the phone with every f*cking studio at night, insurance companies, producers and they’re looking at us and using us to make their movies. We are creating thousands of jobs, you motherf*ckers. I don’t ever want to see it again. Ever!”

“You can tell it to the people who are losing their f*cking homes because our industry is shut down. It’s not going to put food on their table or pay for their college education. That’s what I sleep with every night – the future of this f*cking industry! So I’m sorry, I am beyond your apologies. I have told you, and now I want it, and if you don’t do it, you’re out. We are not shutting this f*cking movie down! Is it understood? If I see it again, you’re f*cking gone.”

“Am I clear? Do you understand what I want? Do you understand the responsibility that I have? Because I will deal with your reason, and if you can’t be reasonable and I can’t deal with your logic, you’re fired,” Cruise continued. “That’s it. That is it. I trust you guys to be here.”

Yikes, that’s quite the outburst, but to be fair to the actor, he does have a point. We all know how difficult it is for everyone in the industry right now and the last thing he needs are people breaking protocol on a massive production like Mission: Impossible 7 and risking getting the cast and crew sick.

As for the film itself, well, plot details are virtually non-existent at this point, but with returning director Christopher McQuarrie behind the camera, it seems pretty certain that the seventh installment will join predecessors Rogue Nation and Fallout as one of the better action movies of the last little while.

Indeed, the series has been on a real hot streak as of late and we can’t wait to see what Cruise and co. have cooked up for us with the next Mission: Impossible. Let’s just hope everyone remembers to follow COVID-19 protocols from now on. Lest they risk suffering the wrath of the Top Gun star.

George Lucas Says Star Wars Fans Didn’t Understand The Dialogue In The Prequels

As first and foremost a space opera, Star Wars has never been (despite what some believe) about delivering thought provoking dialogue or, for that matter, a narrative meant to be scrutinized and subjected to film theory in order to discern a deeper meaning. The entire franchise can, in fact, be summed up in its entirety as unapologetically unambiguous and for better or worse, that’s exactly what creator George Lucas had always intended.

It’s perhaps not even remotely surprising, then, that Lucas, speaking with author Paul Duncan in The Star Wars Archives. 1999-2005, believes that many fans simply don’t understand much of the Prequel Trilogy’s dialogue because it’s so transparent. In specific reference to Episode II: Attack of the Clones, the filmmaker describes how various scenes, particularly those between Anakin and Padmé, were always presented “very honestly” and not tongue-in-cheek at all.

Liam Neeson Star Wars

While he subsequently admits that some of the pair’s dialogue – “I am haunted by the kiss that you should never have given me” – is “pretty corny,” he maintains the view that everything is consistent “not only with the rest of the movie, but with the overall Star Wars style.” “Most people don’t understand the style of Star Wars,” he continues, concluding that they “don’t get that there’s an underlying motif that is very much like a 1930s Western or Saturday matinée serial.” That being the case, Lucas is nothing if not honest in his view that the Prequel Trilogy was always intended to have an air of cheesiness about it, though many fans believe it still stands worlds apart from the Original Trilogy in both tone and atmosphere.

Tell us, though, have you grown fond of The Phantom Menace and its two successors in light of J.J. Abrams/Rian Johnson’s controversial sequels, or will they forever remain at odds with other Star Wars material? Let us know what you think in the usual place down below!

Keanu Reeves Explains Why He’s Always Been Drawn To Sci-Fi Projects

Since making his screen debut all the way back in 1984, Keanu Reeves has appeared in almost every imaginable genre. While he holds a well-earned reputation as one of the modern era’s greatest action stars after headlining Point Break, Speed and the John Wick series, he’s always appeared to have a soft spot for sci-fi.

As well as starring in three Bill & Ted movies spanning over 30 years, the internet’s favorite actor also donned Neo’s leather and sunglasses combo for The Matrix trilogy, with the fourth installment having wrapped shooting last month before releasing on HBO Max and in theaters in December of next year. That’s seven sci-fi efforts between those two brands alone, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Admittedly, Johnny Mnemonic, Chain Reaction and Replicas were all pretty dire, Scott Derrickson’s The Day the Earth Stood Still remake was incredibly uninspired, Richard Linklater’s A Scanner Darkly bombed at the box office and the developers of Cyberpunk 2077 are already offering refunds and apologies less than a week after the game launched, but Reeves was hardly the biggest problem in any of those aforementioned projects.

In a recent interview, the 56 year-old explained why he constantly finds himself drawn into the realms of sci-fi, and a lot of it dates back to his younger days and the material he grew up reading, an affection he’s carried throughout his adult life.

“Yeah, I’m curious about the future and I think growing up on William Gibson and Neuromancer, and reading Philip K. Dick, even Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Watching Road Warriors, Mad Max, Bladerunner. Even Planet of the Apes. Reading Lord of the Rings. Exploration of fantasy, science fiction. I dunno, I just feel the motifs that occur in this kind of storytelling is oftentimes examining the world that we live in. for me there was something aspirational or supportive in participating in these stories that gave me escapism, but also helped me define my world view and interpret the world.”

Keanu Reeves and sci-fi can be very hit or miss, and fans will be hoping The Matrix 4 is very much the former, especially with eighteen years passing between Revolutions and Lana Wachowski’s reinvention of the mythology, but the less said about Cyberpunk 2077 at this stage the better after the game split opinion straight down the middle.
