Tom Cruise is reportedly shelling out some of his own cash to help ensure that the production on the new “Mission: Impossible” can go on amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Production on the seventh installment in the popular spy franchise was about to get underway in February in Italy when restrictions due to the pandemic shut everything down.
Fortunately for “Mission: Impossible” fans, Simon Pegg, who plays Benji Dunn in the movies, revealed to Variety in July that the production was poised to get back to work in September.
Now it seems that’s actually happening thanks to a generous influx of cash from Cruise. According to Forbes, Cruise has reportedly shelled out $700,000 of his own money to help production company Truenorth charter two cruise.
