Mission Impossible 7 shut down filming in March at the beginning of COVID-19’s peak. Now, Deadline is reporting that the film is eyeing a return to production towards September and a wrap date of May 2021.
First assistant director Tommy Gormley had this to say.
“We hope to start shooting again in September. We were days from shooting in Venice — we were right at the epicenter when it all kicked off — so we had to shut down in Venice where we were four or five days from shooting.
We hope to restart in September, we hope to visit all the countries we planned to and look to do a big chunk of it back in the UK on the backlot and in the studio, so September through to end April/May is our targets. We are convinced we can do this.
We have to get back to work for every person in the film industry, tens of thousands of us, we have to get back to work. We have to do it safely and protect our colleagues, but it is definitely possible and we’re working flat out to make it happen.”
