skillzdadirecta Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Goes off on crew for COVID 19 VIOLATIONS Quote The actor Tom Cruise recently erupted at crew members on the set of “Mission: Impossible 7” over a breach of Covid-19 protocols in an apparent effort to prevent further disruptions to a film whose production has already been delayed by the pandemic. “We are creating thousands of jobs,” Mr. Cruise, the star of the film, can be heard saying in a leaked audio clip that is littered with expletives. “I don’t ever want to see it again! Ever! And if you don’t do it, you’re fired!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slug Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I mean...good? I was expecting some batshit rant about Xenu, but this is fine right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyPiranha Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Yeah, I'm generally very opposed to a super rich person teeing off on the people who work under them, but if there's one time where I feel it's warranted putting people's lives in danger is it.

Mercury33 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I mean there’s a little high and mighty that pokes its head through but for the most part he’s 100% right. Maybe it Tom Cruise was president when this app started we’d be in a lot better place right now haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 He's 100 percent right... those folks are lucky to be working at ALL and to be risking the whole production like that would and SHOULD piss him off. It's really not that hard to wear a mask and be socially distant. What I'm curious about is if he is still an anti-vaxxer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Sounds like our company's owner tearing us a new asshole recently for a few people continuously being too cool to wear masks. Sounds justified to me as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 He doesn’t want to make a movie these days unless he’s risking his life anyway. I guess he would rather die doing some insane stunt than by a virus, which is fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 It's also probably worth pointing out that this isn't necessarily just Cruise in his role as star of the film. He's also a producer and owns one of the production companies involved in making this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Correct or not, he sounds like a total fuck stick. I've heard speculation that this is fake and/or staged. I was ignoring this story, because really, who gives a shit... but I finally listened and I don't think this is staged. He would have tried harder to not sound like such a total ass if it was staged. I couldn't even make it through the whole thing. He sounds like one of my old bosses... he keeps framing the whole situation around how it effects him... "This is what I go to bed with each night..." yeah, shut the fuck up with that shit. You're not the victim here you multi-millionare cult leader fucker. You probably earned more during the 2 minute duration of your rant than the two people listening to you berate them will make all year. That said, I know someone who spent an hour or two with Tom Cruise and they said he was shockingly normal and down to earth... this was like 20 years ago though, so who knows.

No way that was fake... and if you listened he wasn't talking about how it affected HIM. He was talking about how people in the industry aren't working, are losing their houses and aren't able to put their kids through school and how that production (which he is exec producing) was leading the way for Hollywood to start producing again. If you listen to the whole thing, he's not talking about how it affects HIM at all... he;s talking about the industry and he's absolutely right. I have so many friends out of work right now its sad. So yeah... its easy to pull the " pampred douchy Hollywood star" card here, but when you think about him being responsible for the livelihoods of a BUNCH of people working on that movie (probably several hundred) and how an outbreak could endanger that and shut the whole thing down due to a couple of people's carelessness... you could understand his anger. I wouldn't have wanted to eb on the receiving end of that all... and I probably would have quit too to be honest But he was right. EDIT: And I've heard he was down to Earth and cool too which makes this outburst even more out of character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Yeah I would have ZERO issues if I had a Boss that lit into his staff that way. If you listen to the whole thing he is 100% looking out for everyone in that entire production. He’s the executive producer not just the star. Keeping that production going and those people employed is literally his job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin King Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 This made me like Tom Cruise a bit more actually. He's 100% right here. Some dumb ass crew members not following some simple rules and threatening to put into jeopardy millions of dollars, the movie as whole and the crews jobs, and he's probably not wrong either on even other movies and crews and the industry. I don't doubt that success or failure, that shoot is going to be one of the lead examples on how the industry can get back up and running.

He goes to bed with it each night because if you read further into the situation he is trying to create a model the whole industry can use to film and keep people safe. This is 100% not about him making a buck but making sure everyone can keep working. Maybe if more people were as serious about safety precautions like adult babies in Walmart want to have a fit about wearing a mask we wouldn't be in as bad of a situation as we are.
