Tom Cruise just recently had a blow up at some of the crew members working on I believe the new Mission Impossible (?). Basically they weren't following Covid protocols and he screamed at them. I can't do the digging at the moment for the audio but he essentially says that the movie industry is counting on them and how mistakes like this could shut down production and screw with everything.

Oh yeah, I heard about that. I didn’t pass judgement because I figured Tom Cruise may well be completely in the right on the issue. Not following Covid regulations has screwed up a lot of things, flouting Covid rules put the biggest nail in the coffin of Boris Johnson. I bet it could kill a movie.

That was propaganda from Hollywood to convince the world to keep letting them film

Maybe I'm unreasonably cynical, but that whole thing felt very staged to me.

Edit- Curious thing to be getting downvoted for. Everything around Cruise is notoriously stage-managed and controlled with a hermetic seal, but the one thing that happens to leak is a near-perfectly composed "blow up" that casts him in a largely positive light and emphasises how Covid conscious the production is, when it was still getting quite a bit of scrutiny for proceeding at all?

It's a pretty valid eyebrow-raise even if you don't agree.
