Mission: Impossible 7 Desperate For Production
So what does it mean for ‘Mission: Impossible 7’ to be “desperate” for production? What I mean is that the movie was supposed to begin production right as all of this pandemic mess began and people are anxious to get started on the film. Filming for the movie was taking place in Italy as part of its essential production, but due to the pandemic situation in Italy, they moved to England and then they had to postpone it indefinitely. Now there are countless pushes to try and get that movie back on track with its production, even the exclusion of parts that have already started.
One of the biggest decisions currently being made is one that will decide whether the work already done in Italy was just a wash. Actor Tom Cruise has already said that he is hoping that shooting can continue in June, but there is absolutely no guarantee that this will happen. The coronavirus pandemic is an ever-changing situation that nobody can predict and is messing up countless schedules. This has created a dilemma since, besides the frustration of being unable to keep filming, the plot of the film actually coincides with shooting locations. Namely, Italy was meant to be the primary filming location for this upcoming entry to the series.
The main plot of the upcoming action film was meant to take place in Italy, but they didn’t get through all of the necessary filming they needed. Italy being the main focus of the plot obviously makes it an essential filming location, and this pandemic makes it difficult to pick up production even at a later date. Especially if they want to start as soon as possible, they will have to think about their moves going forward and what their best possible option would be. This is turning out to be a huge issue, since now one of the decisions is just to remove the Italy part from the film entirely. As stated, with Italy being an essential part of the film’s plot, this could end up presenting a few different issues.
Even if travel begins to open back up again when things start going back to normal, the issue exists where other prime filming locations might open sooner. This could mean that it might end up being a more prime financial opportunity for the production to just pick up somewhere else. This also means, though, that the script might also have to be adjusted to accommodate for these new changes. On top of that, we could also see major story changes for the following film as well which could change the way the entire franchise is moved forward, production and all. This is all so that the film can move forward with production.
