The older Tom Cruise gets, the more he seems determined on pushing the boundaries by taking movies to places they?ve never been before. In the Mission: Impossible films in particular, he?s hung off the side of a tower in Dubai, and clutched onto the exterior of cargo plane upon take off. For Mission: Impossible 6, producer David Ellison says Cruise has been training for a year for the film?s marquee stunt scene. During filming for the June release of The Mummy, Cruise wasn?t necessarily in danger of losing his life during the filming of a zero-gravity plane crash sequence ? but apparently, he was at risk of losing his lunch. Cruise did 64 takes of the zero-gravity sequence, which Variety says was shot over two days and four high-altitude flights. True to Cruise form, the actor refused the option to shoot the sequence on a sound stage, but opted for the real thing to heighten the audience experience.
