A lawsuit filed by the company that produced the movie "Mission Impossible" (Mission Impossible), the day before yesterday, accused the insurance company of not paying all costs of disrupting filming, after it stopped seven times due to the "Corona" virus pandemic.
The lawsuit filed by Paramount Pictures before a US federal court in California said that filming of the movie starring Tom Cruise was postponed four times in Italy, and three times in Britain between February 2020 and last June.
The pauses came due to the positive smears of the “Corona” virus among members of the crew or filming, or as a result of the quarantine or closure imposed in the countries in which the film classified in the category of action films was filmed.
The lawsuit accuses Indiana-based Federal Insurance of breaching the terms of the contract, saying it only agreed to pay $5 million for the first stop.
The insurance company did not respond to a request for comment.
Cruz, who is also one of the film's producers, lost his temper during the preparations for "Mission Impossible 7" in England last December due to breaching "Covid-19" protocols, as he threatened to fire crew members and actors who did not take those protocols seriously.
The movie "Mission: Impossible" is one of the biggest productions of Hollywood, as the movie "Mission: Impossible: Fall Out", which was produced in 2018, collected more than 791 million dollars from the box office around the world.
The movie "Mission Impossible 7" is scheduled to be released in May.
• The pauses came due to the positive smears of the "Corona" virus among members of the staff or filming.
