Tom Cruise Explodes At MI7 Crew For Breaking COVID-19 Rules In Leaked Audio

Tom Cruise is under a lot of pressure right now. His film Mission: Impossible 7 was shut down in February while it was shooting in Venice, according to the Daily Beast, because of the rapid spread of COVID-19. Recently, shooting began again, but with strict COVID-19 protocols for the cast and crew. Cruise is apparently not happy with how those protocols are being fulfilled.

On Tuesday, The Sun released an audio recording of Cruise yelling at the crew in London for standing too close together.

"If I see you do it again, you’re f—king gone!" Cruise screams. "And if anyone in this crew does it, that’s it. And you too and you too. And you, don’t you ever f—king do it again."

He continued cursing out the crew, making it about something much bigger than the infraction.

"They’re back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us," he claimed. "We are creating thousands of jobs, you motherf—kers. That’s it. No apologies. You can tell it to the people that are losing their f—king homes because our industry is shut down. We are not shutting this f--king movie down, is it understood? If I see it again, you’re f—king gone."

Cruise then says he has the "future of this f—king industry" in his hands. He does not want to hear any apologies from the people who have violated his trust, though they're mostly silent throughout his speech.

"So I’m sorry, I’m beyond your apologies," he concludes. "I have told you and now I want it and if you don’t do it, you’re out! We are not shutting this f—king movie down! Is it understood?"

There's a lot of debate about whether or not this is an appropriate reaction from Cruise. Some are wondering why exactly this film is shooting as the pandemic keeps raging on. Others are saying Cruise is right, people's jobs are on the line and that's a bigger deal than coronavirus:

Considering the fact that millions of people are withou jobs rn, because of the pandemic, if you’re lucky enough to be employed and you’re not taking protocols seriously you deserve to be treated like that. Not only do you risk your job but those around you as well

What are you talking about?
This is a massive industry that is an engine for many other industries, and puts food on the tables of thousands of people who have nothing to do with "playing pretend."

I’m pretty sure if I behaved like that in my workplace or on a Zoom meeting I would find myself before HR quicker than you could say ‘Jack Reacher’. But I guess us mere mortals just don’t understand the high charged environments like Hollywood movie sets where this is the norm.

This is a 250 million dollar film that has been shut down twice and is one of a hadful films that hopes to save the entire industy and these 'replacable in an hour' clowns are walking around without masks threating the project? You serious? They should be fired immediately

Whether it was okay or not, it probably worked. No one wants to be spoken to like this by Tom Cruise twice.
