Studio Confirms 'M:I6' Prod. Halt, Keeps Summer Release Date

Paramount has released an official statement (via Deadline), following Tom Cruise's injury on the set of Mission: Impossible 6 over the weekend:

“During production on the latest Mission: Impossible film, Tom Cruise broke his ankle while performing a stunt. Production will go on hiatus while Tom makes a full recovery, and the film remains on schedule to open July 27, 2018. Tom wants to thank you all for your concern and support and can’t wait to share the film with everyone next summer.”

We're excited to hear that M:I6's release date is not affected and that Tom will be okay.

Earlier director Chris McQuarrie shared his exclusive interview with Empire, where he talks about how the production is handling the delay. It's really a must read!

Thank you all for your support and concern. Tom is on the mend and MI6 is on track for 07.27.2018 https://t.co/c4XqsEuRh4

Variety was first to report on Paramount's plan to shift production elements to deal with the hiatus.

What we don't know is how this delay could affect Henry and the Justice League promotion, since you're dealing with different studios. But we're sure in the end it will all get worked out.

Of course this is all you guys want to know..

Glad the #missionimpossible6 production is taking time for Tom Cruise's ankle to heal, but what does this mean for Henry Cavill's mustache?!

— Scott Mendelson (@ScottMendelson) August 16, 2017

Sure Tom is injured but can we shave Henry Cavill's mustache now. I'm sure he can grow a new one no time flat. https://t.co/qwl1jwQs6b

So with MI:6 delays, #HenryCavill now entirely freed up for #JusticeLeague re-shoots?? RIP #MustacheGate https://t.co/NjsvgQGY3A

— NerdyRottenScoundrel (@NerdyRScoundrel) August 16, 2017

Wishing TC a speedy recovery, but of greater concern is Henry Cavill's mustache. What will become of it? Will he keep it or shave & regrow?

— Jeff Sneider (@TheInSneider) August 16, 2017

Priorities.

Look for updates on M:I6 as they come in.

'Nomis' Director Shares New Look From The Editing Room

#badass#nomis https://t.co/F80LZsXl1j

— David Raymond (@stingrayed) August 11, 2017

You can feel the chill in the air, just by looking at this screencap from Nomis. Director David Raymond is in the middle of editing the film shot in Winnipeg earlier this year, and today he shared this new look at Henry's costar Alexandra Daddario. They both play police officers, who find themselves following the trail of a dangerous online predator.

Nomis will be out next year.

Here's some advice about post production. Choose the chair you put your derrière on for months wisely, because this a hole has wrecked my back. I now walk like Gollum. #nomis #floorismyfriend

Vanessa Kirby Takes Center Stage In Latest 'M:I6' Set Photos

As we follow the Mission: Impossible 6 production, we're now getting a much closer look at Vanessa Kirby's character.

The actress and director Chris McQuarrie have shared these behind the scenes pics from the M:I6 set in England, that show some kind of nightclub setting (that looks like cinematographer Rob Hardy with the long hair).

...

A post shared by Christopher McQuarrie (@christophermcquarrie) on Aug 11, 2017 at 6:52am PDT

In this top photo, Kirby appears to be chatting with Tom Cruise who we saw her kissing in Paris. Another night she was at the same set as Henry.

Hardy also posted a photo of Kirby (that goes along with this one) in a different outfit but similar set.

A post shared by R o b H a r d y b s c (@rdhardy) on Aug 10, 2017 at 2:48pm PDT

It will be interesting to find out who she plays in the film and whether she's there to help the latest mission.. or prevent it. Mission: Impossible 6 will hit theaters July 27, 2018.

Kal Reminding Us Why Pets Make Everything Better

A moment's respite well spent #Kal

A post shared by Henry Cavill (@henrycavill) on Aug 10, 2017 at 6:07am PDT

No matter what kind of day you're having, your pet will always be there to comfort you.

In this case it looks like Kal is saying, what.. you gotta go back to work already?

Henry shared the cute new pic of his fur baby, as he films Mission: Impossible 6 in England.

That trailer bed sure looks comfy.. as it should be for Henry's #1.

EW's Fall Movie Preview Includes 'Justice League' Reveals

Check this out!

Today Entertainment Weekly gave us a sneak peek at their Fall Movie Preview, that includes a look at Justice League. This is just revealed concept art of the Flying Fox featured in the film.

Entertainment Weekly and Warner are revealing more of the Flying Fox. My latest design for the JUSTICE LEAGUE. A giant Brutalist/Avant-guard Jet. #patricktatopoulosdesigns #ednatividad #anshumanprasad #justiceleague #jet #batman #fashion #beautiful #concept #dc #design

A post shared by Patrick Tatopoulos (@ptatopoulos) on Aug 10, 2017 at 3:48pm PDT

We got a glimpse of it in the new trailer that debuted at Comic-Con, but this closer look comes with some telling quotes from Batman himself.

"..Batman unites a team of metahumans—WonderWoman (Gal Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), the Flash (Ezra Miller), Cyborg (Ray Fisher)…and probably at least one not-quite-dead Kryptonian. They’re defending Earth from a cosmic threat. “He brings them to the Batcave and lets them in on the central conflict of the story, who the enemy is,” Affleck says. “There’s a little bit of a Magnificent Seven aspect to it." 

MAGNIFICENT SEVEN!!?? 

Other Kal looking for Hal #GreenLantern #Kal

Read the rest at EW. The Fall Movie Preview goes on sale Friday.

UPDATE: Here's a bit more from Ben, describing how it's been like to work with two directors in the film and the Batman we'll see on the big screen.

Production Update: Henry Introduces Us To 'M:I6' Stuntman

Hi everyone! Meet Liang Yang who is another member of Eastwood Action Stunts. He hails from Harbin, China which is famous for building palaces made of ice during the winter!! I’m being serious here, actual palaces, Google that stuff....it’s nuts. Liang, before moving over to stunts was a Chinese Wu Shu champion and it truly shows in his ability to move and fight with precision but also extraordinary speed and endurance. While I was shattered after the work we did together he seemed unfazed and remained smiling…. a true champion in ability and especially character. @LiangStunts @WadeEastwood #Stunties #MissionImpossible #MI6 #ChineseSuperman

What did we say about that very WHITE bathroom..

— ChristopherMcQuarrie (@chrismcquarrie) August 7, 2017

Someone is getting roughed up! who are we kidding.. there's a 99.9 % chance it's Henry.

Today he shared a new photo from the Mission: Impossible 6 set at Warner Bros. Leavesden, where he's been filming since production wrapped in New Zealand last month. We know the stunt team he works with is ace, having watched them in action in previous Tom Cruise films. But we didn't know this!

Liang is also this guy! pic.twitter.com/GI1L16lQQe

— Stu Whitten (@Stu_FX) August 8, 2017

Liang later thanked Henry for the shout-out on his own Instagram:

"Henry you are an amazing and talented person, thank you for those nice words, so glad to work with you."

Mission: Impossible 6 is set for a July 27, 2018 release.

P.S. Here is a look at those ice castles Henry mentioned in his post.

UPDATE: Director Chris McQuarrie has shared some telling photos from the M:I6 set, with Liang in a much more threatening pose.

And is Vanessa Kirby part of that violent bathroom scene? she was prepared to cut someone last time we heard from her. Gulp.
