As reported by The Sun, on the set of the film the star verbally attacked them because they did not comply with anti-Covid protocols.
The British tabloid published a stolen audio of the actor’s lecture, explaining that all members of the Warner Bros. Studios team in Leavesden would be shocked by his fury. The two crew members would have approached a computer screen, violating the physical spacing rule of about 2 meters on set.
“In Hollywood they are starting to make movies again thanks to us! Every night I speak on the phone with executives and producers and insurance companies who model us. We don’t stop this movie. We are creating thousands of jobs. , never more. And if it happens again, you’re fired, “was the actor’s threat.” You mean people who are losing their homes, who don’t have food to put on the table or money to send their children to college because our industry is falling?”
The production of the film was very complicated and Cruise knows that an outbreak could further delay the release of the film. After a first suspension in February, filming resumed in late summer between Italy, Norway and England. And they were discontinued again in October because multiple crew members tested positive for Covid-19. Hence the actor’s anger. If all goes according to plan, the seventh episode will hit US theaters on November 19, 2021.
