Rome’s iconic Piazza Venezia was cordoned off Sunday morning as Tom Cruise shot the latest scenes for the latest part of the movie Mission Impossible 7 in the Italian capital. Last week Cruise shot a car chase in Via dei Fori Imperiali, right through the Roman Forums.
Mission Impossible 7 has many scenes in Italy, including Venice, where Cruise shot earlier this year.
According to www.wantedinrome.com, the three-hour shoot, expected to involve car chases, comes as the Mission Impossible team returned to Rome last month after bailing out of Italy in late February due to the covid-19 crisis.
Mission Impossible 7 is written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the third film in the series to be directed by McQuarrie, following Rogue Nation and Fallout.
The cast includes Cruise, Ving Rhames, Henry Czerny, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby and Angela Bassett, all of whom reprise their roles from the previous films, along with Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, Shea Whigham, and Esai Morales, who will join the franchise. Mission Impossible 7 is scheduled to be released on November 19, 2021, by Paramount Pictures.
