M:I6 Delayed. Cruise: Show Me The Money

There’s good news in that they’re making another Mission: Impossible movie, the series Vin Diesel wishes ‘Fast & Furious’ was.  Y’know, actually funny, cool cast, practical stunts.  However, there is a slight hitch in pre-production, which has been shut down for now.

Tom Cruise wants a pay raise.

Deadline reports that just over a dozen people in London had been hired to start the soft prep work for the project after writer/director Christopher McQuarrie and star/producer Tom Cruise worked out the beats of the film. McQuarrie has gone off to write the script and those hired had just begun to work on the design of visual effects but were told today to stop.

Cruise apparently got an increase in money for The Mummy and feels that he should be getting more too for M:I6. The last (Mission) movie, all told, took around a quarter of a billion.

The delay though is not said to be significant, filming is still slated for a January start.
