Mission Impossible 7 has become quite an expensive production for the star who is also one of the Producers, Tom Cruise. When filming started “Forbes” reported that Cruise coughed up $700K so the cast and crew can live on cruise ships while filming. The hope being that the two cruise ships from Norway’s Hurtigruten company will keep the “Mission: Impossible” cast and crew in a safe bubble, preventing an outbreak while also allowing production to continue. The ships hold around 500 passengers each.
Tom then went off last month when he spotted some staff members not wearing masks. “If I see you do it again, you’re f**king gone, and if anyone in this crew does it, that’s it. No apologies!"
Then The Sun reported that "Tom spent millions" buying a former British military base and converting it to a studio in order to finish production.
Now the Daily Mail reports that Tom has paid out big bucks for 2 COVID robots that will roam the shoot looking for mask violations. 'Tom is so serious about making sure the shoot isn't shut down that he's splashed out on these robots as he can't be everywhere to ensure people are behaving themselves. The robots are really sophisticated and rather intimidating. It's like the Terminator only not as violent.'
Not only can these bots spot and report mask violations, but they can issue COVID tests!
