'Mission: Impossible 7' halts production because of positive Covid test

Months after its star Tom Cruise was reportedly recorded reprimanding crew members for violating social distancing protocols, production for "Mission: Impossible 7" has been shut down because of a positive Covid test.

Paramount, which is producing the latest film in the Cruise franchise, did not reveal who on the production had tested positive in a statement the studio provided to CNN. "We have temporarily halted production on Mission: Impossible 7 until June 14th, due to positive coronavirus test results during routine testing," the statement read. "We are following all safety protocols and will continue to monitor the situation."
