Mission: Impossible 7 Start Filming Next September
JAKARTA - The Pagebluk of COVID-19 is not over yet, but the production house Mission: Impossible has chosen to continue the shooting process, which had stopped. Previously, Avatar 2 will return to filming in New Zealand, and now it is being followed by Mission: Impossible 7.
Reporting from Variety, Thursday, June 4, Simon Pegg, who plays Benji Dunn, said the shooting process will be done for outdoor scenes. "It feels like it can be done, and certainly precautions (touching) are taken," said Pegg.
Furthermore, the Star Trek Beyond film player also said that he did not know if there were security rules regarding things that made them have to be close together. Likewise with how they can safely do the filming process.
This hope has been expressed by assistant director Tommy Gormley via BBC Radio 4, where he hopes the filming process can be done in September. "We hope to visit the country we have planned. "We hope to do that in England in the backlot and in the studio," said Gormley.
The film, starring Tom Cruise, is scheduled to air in February 2021. However, they have not completed the shooting process considering that when it started in February, they had to stop due to a European boom. At that time they had just shot in Venice, Italy.
Staff have reportedly asked Paramount Pictures to finish filming by May but this has not yet been implemented as news of the COVID-19 outbreak in Europe was announced a few days after filming took place.
"If we have protocols in place and we carry out the procedures carefully… we will do it. Some things are very challenging like stunts, crowds, etc. But we couldn't film 'Mission Impossible' and had no fighting scenes or cars. inside it,"

Gormley said that even during the filming of Star Trek, the staff had worn googles, ear protection and gloves because they were shooting in a factory. He concluded that the film industry was very adaptable to situations, so it didn't take long for them to get back to work.
“We are used to working in extreme situations in extreme places. We can handle it if we prepare well, "said Gormley.
