Tom Cruise ensured questions at a recent press event in Seoul for Mission: Impossible \u2014 The Final Reckoning were focused on the film itself.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, Cruise and his Mission: Impossible co-stars and director Christopher McQuarrie, were promoting the upcoming final movie in the action franchise. However, when a reporter asked about President Donald Trump\u2019s proposed tariffs<\/a> on movies shot outside of the U.S. and the extent to which the Paramount film, which was shot around the world, would be affected by it, Cruise wanted to move past that.<\/p>\n More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d like to ask this question to anybody who\u2019s up for it. I watched this film and I saw that it was filmed in many different locations around the world, including Africa,\u201d the reporter said, according to an onstage translator. \u201cOf course, we all are aware of the tariffs that President Trump has been imposing on overseas productions and films. So, is this particular movie under that tariff? And how much of the film was shot overseas?\u201d<\/p>\n Cruise replied, telling the moderator, off-mic, \u201cWe\u2019d rather answer questions about the movie. Thank you.\u201d The moderator said she thought that was a \u201cfair response\u201d and suggested moving on to a different question.<\/p>\n Cruise\u2019s rep has not yet responded to The Hollywood Reporter\u2018s request for additional comment.<\/p>\n The Mission: Impossible films, which have grossed more than $4 billion at the global box office, are famously shot across the world. The most recent one, releasing in the United States later this month, was filmed in the U.K., Norway and South Africa.<\/p>\n Trump announced his tariffs plan on Sunday, though the White House followed up Monday morning to note that nothing had been finalized<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social. \u201cThis is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda! Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!\u201d<\/p>\n Other films that are currently filming outside of the U.S. include Avengers: Doomsday and Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey. Last year\u2019s Wicked, Dune: Part Two and Deadpool & Wolverine were also made outside the country.<\/p>\n Mission: Impossible \u2014 The Final Reckoning hits theaters May 23.<\/p>\n Best of The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for THR’s Newsletter<\/a>.
