CRUISE DOESN’T FUCK AROUND

Here is Tom Cruise, on top of a moving train.  Shooting a stunt for Mission: Impossible 7.  See any green or blue crap in the background?  Me neither.  As we’ve come to expect from Cruise, it’s all live action.

Here is a video of the scene as it was captured by a passenger on another train travelling in the opposite direction:

And director Christopher McQuarrie posts the following to social media:

Norway’s scale and beauty have left an indelible and defining imprint on our film and reminded us that anything is possible.

On behalf of everyone working on Mission: Impossible, our sincerest thanks to The Norwegian Film Incentive, The Norwegian Railway Museum, the infinitely patient Stranda and Rauma Municipalities, our endlessly enduring Norwegian crew, along with everyone who supported our filming here.

And, of course… The Mountain.

Most of all, we give thanks to the warm and welcoming people of Norway. Your kindness and consideration are nothing less than an inspiration. We’ll miss you dearly and look forward to seeing you again.

Along with Top Gun: Maverick actually looking better than the first with practical effects galore, and filming another movie in space, Cruise again saves us all from synthetic CGI/fake background garbage.
