- LOS ANGELES — Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise’s BTS footage of him shooting in the Norwegian archipelago, Svalbard for his upcoming film ‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’ has surfaced on the Internet.
-
- In the latest behind-the-scenes footage from ‘Mission Impossible 8’, Tom Cruise gives fans a glimpse into one of the film’s most extreme locations of Svalbard located in the Arctic Ocean.
-
- Svalbard, which is located between mainland Norway and the North Pole, served as the perfect setting to bring yet another thrilling chapter of ‘Mission: Impossible’ to life.
-
- Tom Cruise said in the BTS video, “The landscape is just breathtakingly beautiful”.
-
- His co-star Simon Pegg puts it, “If you want to shoot on the ice cap, you are going with temperatures that are absolutely the most extreme”.
-
- Director Christopher McQuarrie emphasizes that this kind of raw environment simply can’t be faked. He said, “You cannot fake being in minus 40 degrees. Take your gloves off for a few seconds and your fingers will start to freeze”.
-
- The harsh reality of the shoot wasn’t just about discomfort, it was about authenticity. And that’s what Cruise is all about.
-
- This isn’t the first time Cruise has taken things to the edge for the Mission: Impossible franchise. From climbing the Burj Khalifa to hanging off airplanes mid-flight, his pursuit of realism has always been part of the thrill. But Svalbard adds a new element to the legacy, a haunting, frozen desolation that no green screen could replicate.
-
- Actress Hayley Atwell, who joins the action once again, echoes that sentiment. She believes the stark, frozen setting adds not just spectacle, but genuine tension and atmosphere to the story.
-
- Tom Cruise said, “It looks amazing on screen”.
-
- The film is set to arrive cinemas in India on May 23 in English, Hindi, Tamil & Telugu in 4DX & IMAX.
