Simon Pegg said on his Instagram stories that he has three more weeks to film. The budget of this movie must be insane. No wonder Par is selling

Yeah as much as I love these movies including  yes.DR Part 1 this is getting insane. The next movie will not make money even if it does improve on the performance. This should be the last movie so you can be happy about that.=)

I don't know his mind, but i believe he speaks from a place of caring. Cruise has been doing too many action movies in the last 20 years. Time to try something else. He's capable of so much more. That's all this is about when people complain about too many MIs.

And, frankly, he is reaching the age where his body is not going to be able to do the stunts.  No, I don't thikn he does all of hiw own stunts..he does not do the really dangerous ones..but still he is reaching the age where being a action star is going to be problematic.

They could actuallly go back to the TV show and make the MI movies more about elaborate plots  and twists and suspense rather then action pieces, but the big action is what the film franchise is known for.

Ine reason I liked Rogue Nation so much is for the climax they went bakc to IMF trapping the villians in a clever trap rather then a bid action climax.

Yeah I know. It's shit like this that makes me wince while I defend this franchise.  They always manage to pull these movies out and make them good to great including  yes Dead Reckoning IMO but this is insane. At this point it's sunk cost. They have to move forward so no it will not get  canceled or shelved.

Cruise just decided to rob Paramount before their inevitable demise, just like sir Ridley with Gladiator 2, they know very well nobody's gonna be punished when those flops come out because people who were responsible for greenlighting those will be long gone, driving off into the sunset with a bag full of cash.

Regardless what Cruise says this will likely be the last installment in the series since Tom is getting too old and these movies are getting too expensive so you might as well go for broke with this one.

Give Cruise all the money he needs.

It’s hard for any movie to break even once the budget gets north of $250 million, especially in this box office environment. 
 

If the budget has truly approached $400 million, it’s gonna likely be DOA in terms of breaking even on day 1 of its release.

400 million budget

love it, really want to see what he can do with that amount of money

[ringedmortality]

Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise are such GOATS they're gonna make another money loser for Paramount before making a Best Picture nominee for WB with the Gauntlet remake.

Making a Top Gun 3 should about cover the costs of the last 2 Missions. Last 2 Missions were hit hard by bad luck with covid and strikes.

Someone out there is busy sticking pins into their Tom Cruise Voodoo Doll these last few years.

Brad Pitt's F1 movie Apex budget 300M, Tom Cruise said, HOLD MY BEAR!

 

Just a joke, i don't believe this reporting

[wildphantom]

There’s an update on the article now….

 

”UPDATE: A spokesperson for Paramount has reached out to explain that, while there is a submarine set (not an actual submarine), it's on a special effects rig which is fully functional and not in need of any repairs. As a result, the production remains on schedule.”
