In late July, it emerged that Hollywood star Tom Cruise had been granted an exemption from the quarantine rules to film “Mission: Impossible 7” in Norway.
On Friday night, TV 2 writes that Cruise landed with a private plane at Molde airport just before 7 p.m. The website further writes that the star was crowned after landing and that his papers were examined by the police.
In addition, the star was transported by helicopter, and according to TV 2 he should have greeted the press and others on the spot.
Delimited from the general public
– Now foreign film productions can again film in Norwegian landscapes, and there is very good news also for the Norwegian film industry, thus avoiding losing assignments and gaining important experience. I’m glad we implemented this exception so quickly, said Minister of Culture and Gender Equality Abid Q. Raja in a press release when it emerged in July that Cruise was allowed to come to Norway.
In the press release, Raja was informed of strong restrictions on the exemption.
He moved the pulpit to India
– It is the productions that have already received support from the incentive scheme that will be covered, and that under a very strict infection control regime. An example of a production that could be included is the recording of “Mission: Impossible 7”, which is already scheduled to shoot in Norway this fall. They have established a very comprehensive infection control scheme, in fact much stricter than the usual rules in Norway, the minister said.
Participants in the production of “Mission Impossible 7” will be limited by the general public during their stay in Norway. Filming is scheduled for the end of August at Møre og Romsdal.
He “moved” the pulpit
However, this is not the first time the Hollywood star has visited Norway. She did the same in relation to the final scene of “Impossible 6 – Fallout”, where Cruise clung to the vertical rock face of Pulpit Rock, 600 meters above the Lysefjord.
The fact that the film was shot in Norway, and not least that Cruise visited the country, was a major event in the fall of 2017, and the tourism industry in the region expected to see large-scale Norwegian advertising in one of the World’s Greatest Movie Concepts.

At the time, the Pulpit Rock Foundation informed Dagbladet that in 2027 they wanted more than half a million tourists a year at Pulpit Rock, and the scenes in “Mission Impossible 6” were one of the measures that would ensure a large-scale increase in tourists. .
In hindsight, it turned out that the pulpit was not added to Norway in the big movie, but to Kashmir, the conflict area at the foot of the Himalayas within the national borders of India, Pakistan, and China.
In other words, neither Preikestolen, Lysefjorden, Rogaland, nor Norway participated in the action of the film Cruise, wrote Minerva, among others.
It is not yet known if Norway will be part of the film this time.
