Having just performed the running scene on Westminster Bridge, Tom Cruise continued to perform the running scene in the Natural History Museum. The actor is filming “Mission Impossible 8” in London, England.
This Monday, Tom Cruise attracted attention again when he appeared at the Natural History Museum in London, England, to film a running scene with the Mission Impossible 8 film crew.
In the scene recorded at the museum, the 61-year-old actor ran in through the main door, then he ran up and down some stairs in the museum. The beauty who co-stars with Tom Cruise in this movie is Vanessa Kirby. She also appeared in scenes filmed at the museum.
Part 8 of the Mission Impossible film series is scheduled to hit theaters on May 23, 2025. Most likely this film will be called Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two. The 7th movie – Dead Reckoning Part One (Mission: Impossible – Karma part 1) – was released in July 2023.
Dead Reckoning Part One did not do as well as the previous films. The film had a total production and promotion investment of up to 291 million USD, but only earned more than 567 million USD. This is a very modest number considering the level of investment in the film, as well as when compared to other films in the Mission Impossible series.
What Tom Cruise will do with the 8th film is what the media and the public are interested in and waiting for. The Hollywood actor is now in his sixties, but he still shows the class of a top action movie star on the international silver screen. Tom Cruise still has the ideal physical foundation to perform movie scenes that require endurance and flexibility.
Previously, actor Tom Cruise often had scenes running at full speed in the movies he participated in. Since entering the film industry in 1981 until now, Tom Cruise has been diligently running in frames on the silver screen for the past 43 years.
In fact, on the social network account “.
Running has become an “identifying” detail for Tom Cruise’s roles. Viewers may think that the running scene is very simple, the actors just need to run like crazy and the camera pans, but that’s not the case. Filming the running scene was actually very difficult.
The main actor, supporting actors and moving objects entering the frame of the running scene must have the same speed, so as not to cause a phase difference in the performance.
In addition, when actors move too fast, the image will lose its sharpness and aesthetics. If you just let the actors run as normal, then adjust the speed to make the scene slower, the scene will become very forced, funny, completely losing action and feeling of speed.
Therefore, what needs to be done is that Tom Cruise will have to slow down, so that the scene is beautiful and sharp. However, in terms of expressions and movements, Tom Cruise still has to act as if he is running at full speed, running for “more than life or death”. You have to somehow “deceive” the viewer’s feelings.
The requirement for these running scenes is that the actors must appear as if they are running very fast, but in reality they are only running… “barely”. To execute the running scene perfectly without having to reshoot too many times, requires an actor who is really experienced with running scenes.
Currently, in addition to making the 8th film of Mission Impossible, Tom Cruise is also promoting the making of the 3rd film of the Top Gun series, following the spectacular success of Top Gun: Maverick (2022). ). Part 2 of Top Gun earned nearly 1.5 billion USD in sales from a budget of about 170 million USD.
