Tom Cruise kept a press conference “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” in Seoul on Thursday evening when he asked him about the proposal of President Trump of prices on films “produced in foreign lands”, and how such a policy could apply to the blocbuster of globe -trotting.
During the event, a Korean journalist, speaking through a translator on stage, asked: “I would like to ask this question to anyone in place. I watched this film and I saw that it has been filmed in many different places in the world, including Africa. Of course, we are all aware of the prices that President Trump imposed on productions and films abroad.
Cruise quickly responded to the English survey by speaking of its microphone, directly to the translator. We could hear say: “We prefer to answer questions about the film. Thank you ”, ending with a smile. The moderator replied on Mic with: “I think it’s a just answer.”
The star of “Mission: Impossible” will certainly not be the last representative of Hollywood to be questioned about the price proposal. More American talents could face the same impossible mission from Tuesday at the Cannes Film Festival – a global market that could release a storm of questions on the potential implications of Trump policies, both of the press and members of the international industry who could be reluctant to do business with American companies.
Cruise was asked the question a watch before the studio chiefs making up the cinematographic association met on Friday to develop strategies to fight against Trump’s price proposal.
Cruise Face’s questioning line is not exact, because Trump has not yet adopted prices on film productions abroad. There remains an overwhelming uncertainty about how the administration would apply exactly such a policy, or if it would even have an impact on liberation as “mission: impossible”, which was produced by an American company but largely turned in various international places. (Without forgetting that he releases theatrical in just a few weeks.) The MPA has not yet published an official declaration responding to the price proposal and no plate has been provided between the Org and the Administration.
Trump initially unveiled his intentions in an article on his social media platform Truth Social Sunday evening, calling for foreign incentives to move production abroad a “national security threat” and to writing in all caps that “we want films made in America, again!” The announcement has aroused great confusion in the industry, not exactly relieving by the declaration of monitoring of the White House that “no final decision has yet been taken on” putting a price on the films “.
The press event “Mission: Impossible” to Seoul presented a panel which included the director Christopher Mcquarrie and the Co-Stars Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Pom Kelashieff and Greg Tarzan Davis. “The Final Reckoning” will be released in theaters on May 23.
