Tom Cruise stops the question of film prices

Tom Cruise assured questions during a recent press event in Seoul for Mission: Impossible – The last calculation were focused on the film itself.

Thursday, Cruise and his Mission: Impossible The co-stars and director Christopher McQuarrie promoted the next final film in the Action franchise. However, when a journalist asked questions about the prices proposed by President Donald Trump on films shot outside the United States and the extent to which the Paramount film, which was shot in the world, would be affected, Cruise wanted to overcome this.

“I would like to ask this question to anyone who is ready. I watched this film and I saw that it had been filmed in many different places in the world, including Africa,” said the journalist, according to a translator on stage. “Of course, we are all aware of the prices that President Trump imposed on productions and films abroad. So, is this particular film under this price? And how much film was shot abroad?”

Cruise answered, saying to the moderator, off-mic, “We prefer to answer questions about the film. Thank you.” The moderator said that she thought it was a “fair response” and suggested going to another question.

Cruise’s representative has not yet answered The Hollywood Reporterrequest for additional comments.

THE Mission: Impossible The films, which have brought in more than $ 4 billion at the world box office, are famous worldwide. The most recent, which will be released in the United States later this month, was filmed in the United Kingdom, Norway and South Africa.

Trump announced his pricing plan on Sunday, although the White House followed on Monday morning to note that nothing had been finalized.

“The film industry in America dies of a very rapid death. Other countries offer all kinds of incentives to keep our filmmakers and studios from the United States away. Hollywood, and many other fields in the United States, are devastated,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “This is a concerted effort of other nations and, therefore, a national security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda!

Other films that are currently running outside the United States include Avengers: Doomsday And Christopher Nolan Odyssey. Last year Bad, dune: second part And Deadpool and Wolverine were also made outside the country.

Mission: Impossible – The last calculation Hits theaters on May 23.
