Fact of the matter is that Cruise won’t be happy until he dies on camera. Once you get that adrenaline and endorphin rush from doing these stunts, you just can’t stop. He is now in his 60s and I imagine this adrenaline addiction will continue until some drastic accident occurs. I spoke to a top dog Hollywood insurance underwriter a year or so ago and she, surprisingly, absolutely hates Tom Cruise. Why? Because he won’t listen to anybody. Her team kept insisting for a stuntman, and he would flatly refuse. Usually, when insurance necessities are not adhered to then the film’s producers need to step in and stop the mayhem .. the problem is that Cruise is the producer of these ‘Mission Impossible’ movies — he’d just pay the insurance company their demands, no questions asked, and perform the stunts himself. There have been constant delays in relation to ‘Dead Reckoning,’ especially due to the pandemic’s effect on global supply-chain, production workers and locations. The film started shooting in Italy on February 2020, but it had to stop and start production seven different times since then. Notice the location, Italy was the epicentre of the pandemic during those early months. In contrast, the most recent film in the series, 2018’s “Mission: Impossible — Fallout,” cost $190 million to make. This one had its budget balloon to $290 million. The end result is that M:I7 has been delayed to 2023 because the film ends on a cliff-hanger, and Tom Cruise wanted to finish making the 8th film before releasing the 7th. The plan is to have both films serve as a sendoff for Cruise’s Ethan Hunt character Contribute Hire me
