Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie are shooting flight scenes for “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two” on a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Adriatic Sea, which Cruise reached by helicopter from the Italian port city of Bari, where he jetted into on Saturday. Confirming Italian press reports, the head of the Apulia Film Commission Antonio Parente told Variety on Thursday that Cruise flew into Bari, which is the Apulia region’s capital city, on Saturday Feb. 25. After spending the night in Bari’s 5-star Hotel Delle Nazioni, Cruise on Sunday hopped on a private helicopter from the Bari airport to go shoot scenes for the eighth “Mission Impossible” installment on an U.S. aircraft carrier “which is probably the U.S.S. George H.W. Bush, but we are not sure,” Parente said.
Timothy Olyphant Details Shooting On Set Of ‘Justified: City Primeval’: “It Was The Scariest Goddamn Thing. It Went On Forever”
11.02.2023 - 01:35 / deadline.com
For the first time since the incident occurred, Timothy Olyphant shared in great detail what it was like to experience the shooting on the set of FX’s Justified: City Primeval last summer in Chicago.
While recently guesting on the Conan O’ Brien Needs A Friend podcast, Olyphant described the fateful night when three cars smashed through the show’s barricades near the city’s Douglass Park and shot off what he believed were at least 100 rounds.
“It was the scariest goddamn thing,” Olyphant recalled. “It went on forever.”
The cast and crew of the limited series were accustomed to hearing gunshots, having already filmed in “bad neighborhoods” of Chicago, Olyphant told O’Brien. But this time, the stakes were much higher because trouble was heading right for them.
“You realize they’re coming around the park,” Olyphant said of the late night incident. “If the gunshots didn’t already give you a tip about what kind of people we are dealing with, they completely ignored the road closed sign where it says filming, don’t come this way.”
While most of the crew dove for cover, Olyphant said he managed to get a peek at the shooters in the second car. One leaned out a window with a pistol that had “clearly been modified” while the other stood up in the sun roof and fired a machine gun, Olyphant recalled.
“It was so frightening,” Olyphant said. “I assumed one was going to hit me. You’re just waiting.”
As Deadline first reported, Olyphant acknowledged that he grabbed a production assistant named Ashley and threw her out of the way. “The reason I know her name is that I apparently saved her life,” he told O’Brien. “It’s the weirdest thing, I’m wearing the Raylan [Givens] wardrobe standing behind this car. This is just like the show.

Todd Gilchrist editor Composer Nicolas Godin is part of the creative team responsible for “Fire of Love,” the Oscar-nominated documentary directed by Sara Dosa about volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft. As one half of the electronic group Air, he’s no stranger to collaboration: between 1995 and 2016, he and partner Jean-Benoit Dunckel released six albums and two soundtracks that sold millions of copies and earned them worldwide accolades as the downtempo counterparts of French contemporaries like Daft Punk.
