Inspelningen av den sjunde Mission Impossible-filmen har varit något olycksdrabbat än så länge. Förutom corona-relaterade förseningar och kontroversen kring sprängningen av en "historisk" bro i Polen har det nu skett en olycka under ett påkostat stunt, där en av stuntmännens motorcyklar ska ha brunnit upp. Så här beskrevs händelsen av en källa till The Sun:
"This has been a massive challenge to stage and has cost a fortune, not to mention weeks and weeks of construction. But when it came to the big day, it went horribly wrong. The idea was for the stuntman to land on some huge pillows filled with [cardboard] to cushion the blow, while the bike safely crashed to the ground a few metres away. Unfortunately, it was miscalculated. The heat and the friction of the [tires] meant that when the bike crashed, the cardboard padding sparked and went up in flames. The smoke was so bad they had to close a nearby RAF airfield."
Ingen har skadats, men incidenten har gjort Tom Cruise oerhört frustrerad:
"Fortunately, nobody was hurt but it's a total catastrophe, not to mention extremely expensive for all concerned. Tom is very frustrated. Nobody wants more delays."
Actionfilmen siktar på premiär den 19 november 2021, om inte något annat går fel under inspelningen. Förutom Cruise kan vi också se ansikten som Hayley Atwell, Rebecca Ferguson, Pom Klementieff, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales och Shea Whigham. Vill du se Mission Impossible 7?
