“I’m very grateful to be here,” he said of Rome. “And to be part of this, this whole time period, had we not had the community here to say we will support you in making what we wanted to do. Because I want to make movies, I make movies for the big screen, that is what I do. I understand. There’s other areas and other platforms, I understand that I’ve studied everything up down and center, from making movies to studios to distribution. And I understand that I make movies for audiences, first and foremost, and to be able to have that kind of help.

“Believe me, every day I was dealing and working with this community of governments and the people in my crew, to make it so that we could all have this and be here today, and it would not have happened at enough in film and enough in Venice, Norway, Abu Dhabi, everyone and the whole industry to be able to support it make this happen. So this is a moment this is very exciting.”

Cruise said to study the industry he insisted not just on attending studio premieres in a country but also on going to their theaters and watch their movies. A philosophy began forming.

Tom Cruise a Roma per la première di Mission Impossible 7: "Un'avventura epica". VIDEO

Giornata romana piena per la superstar: prima il photocall in scalinata Trinità dei Monti, poi la visita a Palazzo Chigi dalla presidente del Consiglio Giorgia Meloni. In serata l'anteprima del settimo capitolo della saga all'Auditorium Conciliazione e poi l'after party in Terrazza Caffarelli. A Sky TG24 parla della nuova pellicola: le scene di azione "sono più estreme che in tutti gli altri episodi, le location sono incredibili, i personaggi sono molto vivi e le storie piene di emozione"

Roma ha accolto Tom Cruise. Giornata piena per l’attore statunitense nella Capitale: prima il red carpet per l’anteprima mondiale di  Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1 ( LE FOTO ), poi un incontro con la presidente del Consiglio Giorgia Meloni a Palazzo Chigi. In serata la première del settimo capitolo della saga che ha incassato oltre tre miliardi e mezzo di dollari al botteghino, all’Auditorium Conciliazione (con un altro red carpet), e poi l’after party sulla Terrazza Caffarelli. Il photocall pomeridiano si è tenuto tra Piazza di Spagna e la scalinata di Trinità dei Monti. Non è stata una scelta casuale, così come non lo è stata quella di organizzare l'anteprima in Italia: molte scene del film sono state girate tra Roma e Venezia. Anche sulla scalinata di Trinità dei Monti. “Questo posto è stupendo, da togliere il respiro”, ha detto Cruise ai microfoni di Denise Negri. Poi ha aggiunto: “È un sogno che si realizza: è stato incredibile girare qui, voglio ringraziare tutti coloro che in questo Paese – a Roma e a Venezia – ci hanno aiutato a girare in un contesto davvero difficile. Voglio che sappiate quanto abbiamo apprezzato. Non diamo nulla per scontato”.

Cruise: "Il film più estremo della saga"

In Dead Reckoning, in sala dal prossimo 12 luglio, Cruise, ancora una volta nei panni dell'agente segreto   Ethan Hunt, è alla ricerca di un’arma letale: non deve cadere nelle mani sbagliate. Già confermato per il 2024 il proseguimento del film. “Questa è un’avventura epica. Abbiamo elevato alla potenza il livello del film. Questo è il motivo per cui c’è una parte uno e una parte due, per via del viaggio emozionale dei personaggi, del respiro del film. Le scene di azione sono più estreme che in tutti gli altri episodi, le location sono incredibili, i personaggi sono molto vivi e le storie piene di emozione, ma anche di situazioni divertenti come quelle che succedono qui dove ci troviamo”, racconta Cruise riferendosi alle scene girate nella Capitale. 

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning - Parte uno, uno spot del film

"assolutamente da vedere al cinema e non a casa".

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1 andrà visto al cinema e non in streaming. Così suggerisce Cruise: “Questo è un film che deve essere visto sul grande schermo, non a casa. So che oggi i film viaggiano su diverse piattaforme ma questo è diverso, visivamente e come sound, è fatto per essere visto tutti insieme in un grande auditorium”.

Il cast di Mission: Impossible 7

Insieme a Cruise, fra ritorni e novità, nel cast del film ci sono Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Henry Czerny, Esai Morales, Frederick Schmidt, Shea Whigham, Pom Klementieff, Greg Tarzan Davis, Mariela Garriga e Cary Elwes. Il regista è il Premio Oscar Christopher McQuarrie, che aveva già diretto gli ultimi due capitoli e che tornerà dietro alla macchina da cinepresa anche per l'ottavo.

Dopo il photocall in Trinità dei Monti, Cruise è arrivato a Palazzo Chigi poco dopo le 20:10 e se ne è andato circa mezz'ora dopo. "Lieta che la Capitale d'Italia sia protagonista dell'ultimo film di Tom Cruise. Oggi a Roma la prima mondiale. Le 'mission impossible' sono anche il nostro pane quotidiano al governo", ha scritto la premier sui suoi social pubblicando una foto insieme all'attore.

Tom Cruise Vows to ‘Always Fight for Big Theaters’ From Rome’s Spanish Steps at ‘Mission: Impossible 7’ World Premiere

Tom Cruise made an impassioned speech about cinemagoing from Rome’s Spanish Steps at the world premiere of “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.”

“There is a community that we are all part of — different cultures and ways of life, we all join together to enjoy cinema,” said Cruise, dressed in a crisp blue suit and wearing aviator shades. “It’s something that I grew up with, that made me and inspired me to dream and want to travel the world.

Popular on Variety

“He’s had a hand in every single film I’ve made over the past 16 years,” Cruise declared. “Uncredited, he wrote ‘Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.” He’s had a hand in editing and writing every single I’ve ever done. He is my creative brother and an exceptional human being.”

Cruise, who reprises his role as Ethan Hunt in Paramount’s latest tentpole, added: “I want to thank Rome and the city. And also we got to film in Venice, which was extraordinary, during some very difficult times in this country. I dreamed to be coming here and [sharing] it with all of you.”

The seventh installment of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise was partly filmed in the Italian capital, where the cobblestoned streets provided the perfect pavement for drifting cars burning rubber in numerous hair-raising chases that are likely to go down in action film history. The Spanish Steps, by the Piazza di Spagna, is the setting of a wild car chase involving a massive Hummer chasing a tiny vintage yellow Fiat 500 driven by Cruise and Hayley Atwell, who are handcuffed.

Cruise came to Italy with director McQuarrie and an ensemble cast of returning talents including Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson and Vanessa Kirby on the red carpet. Franchise newcomers Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, Shea Whigham and Greg Tarzan Davis were also among those who made the trek to the Eternal City for the launch.

Atwell, who plays thief and agent of chaos Grace, told Variety during a weekend junket that she trained for months on a race track with stunt coordinator Wade Eastwood for her Rome chase. Only after her hardcore training did she arrive in Rome to work alongside Cruise, who was determined to keep the stunts as real as possible.

“I was handcuffed to Tom Cruise, who is in the passenger seat,” Atwell recalled. “Both Wade and Tom said: ‘We want you to go in front of this monument, do some 360 doughnuts, drift in, drift out, dodge cars and keep going.'”

During this feat, Atwell was told that “Tom’s going to be suggesting lines to you [while] he’s going to be acting as Ethan. But he also might give you moments of direction, too. Like: ‘turn left’ or ‘slow down,’” she said.

So Atwell’s challenge, as she was drifting, was to work out: “Is Tom as a producer telling me as Hayley to slow down because something is unsafe? Or is he as Ethan telling Grace to slow down?”

“It was an amazing day,” Atwell noted. After it was over, McQuarrie took her out to lunch and said: ‘Tom put his life in your hands today. That was no small thing,’” she added.

By contrast, Pom Klementieff – who plays the psychopathic villain Paris – didn’t train at all for scenes in which she drives the Hummer in pursuit of the yellow Fiat as it comes darting down the ancient staircase filled with screaming people who are jumping and running.

For Klementieff, the hard part was “not having too much fun doing it,” she said during the junket. “I was trying not to laugh the whole time, because for me it was so funny to be chasing a Fiat [500] … in this crazy Hummer.”

“ I had to tone it down a bit. I had to remember that I’m a villain,” she laughed. But Klementieff also noted “that some of that [irony] is in the movie, of course!”

Paramount’s July 12 U.S. release of “Mission: Impossible 7” – which also shot in England, Abu Dhabi and Norway – was pushed back several times from its original planned 2021 launch date due to pandemic-related setbacks.

In February 2021, the movie was forced to halt production in Italy, days before its planned shoot in Venice, as the country contended with one of the highest COVID death rates in Europe.

“In every city we were in across the world, it was the middle of COVID,” she added. “So it was amazing that they got the system [COVID production protocol] in place — and Tom drove it.”

Tom Cruise Says His 'Goal Since I Was Little Was to Make Movies' at 'Mission: Impossible' Rome Premiere

"It’s my passion to entertain you," the actor said during a speech from Rome's Spanish Steps at the "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One" premiere

Tom Cruise counts his job as "a privilege that I have never taken for granted."

On the red carpet in Rome for the world premiere of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One Monday, Cruise, 60, praised how people of different cultures "all join together to enjoy cinema" as he gave a speech from the city's famous Spanish Steps, according to Variety .

“It’s something that I grew up with, that made me and inspired me to dream and want to travel the world," Cruise said of his passion for films. “My goal since I was little was to make movies and travel. And not just be a tourist, but work in that world and understand their culture."

"Through my movies, I’ve been able to have that because everyone here has allowed me to entertain them. It’s a privilege that I have never taken for granted," he continued in his speech, emphasizing the importance of seeing movies in theaters : "It’s my passion to entertain you, and I will always fight for big theaters and that kind of experience for everyone.”

Cruise appeared on the red carpet with his Mission: Impossible director and frequent collaborator Christopher McQuarrie on Monday, as well as members of the cast including Esai Morales, Simon Pegg, Frederick Schmidt, Shea Whigham, Mariela Garriga, Rebecca Ferguson, Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff and Vanessa Kirby.

The actor praised his work with McQuarrie, who directed the previous two  Mission: Impossible  films and also wrote Top Gun: Maverick , during his speech, saying the director has "had a hand in every single film I’ve made over the past 16 years."

Cruise said, "He is my creative brother and an exceptional human being."

McQuarrie's collaborations with Cruise date back to at least 2008, when he wrote the screenplay for Valkyrie , which Cruised starred in for director Bryan Singer.

Though he only wrote that movie, he first worked with Cruise as a director on 2012's Jack Reacher , which then led to his installment as the Mission: Impossible franchise's director beginning with 2015's Rogue Nation .

The series' latest entry is its first since 2018. Dead Reckoning Part One finds Cruise's Ethan Hunt as he and his team are tasked with tracking down "a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands," according to an official synopsis.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One  is in theaters July 12.

Roma, 19 giugno 2023 –  Tom Cruise 're' di Roma per un giorno. La star di Hollywood sbarca nella capitale italiana per l'anteprima mondiale del film 'Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning' e manda in delirio fan e traffico . L'appuntamento per tutti è sulla Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti, la stessa dalla quale nell'ultimo capitolo della saga dell' agente Ethan Hunt si lancia a bordo di una 500 gialla insieme a Hayley Atwell, dando vita a una sequenza cinematografia diventata già iconica.

L'incontro con il pubblico è alle 16, ma la piazza è già piena dall'ora di pranzo. La folla resiste sotto il sole per ore, prima di vedere sul red carpet tutto il regista Christopher McQuarrie e il cast, da Simon Pegg a Rebecca Ferguson, da Ving Rhames ad Hayley Atwell ed Esai Morales. Il più atteso - manco a dirlo - è Tom Cruise, in completo blu chiaro, pochette bianca e occhiali specchiati . Sorride e si concede generosamente alle persone firmando autografi e scattando selfie, mentre tutto intorno è un rincorrersi di "sei bellissimo" e "fantastico".

Numerosi anche i curiosi affacciati anche alle finestre degli alberghi e dei palazzi intorno alla piazza, richiamati dalla colonna sonora del film che risuona per ore e dal mega allestimento di pannelli, maxi-schermi, cordoni e tappeti rossi. Il film sarà in sala dal 12 luglio, ma il pubblico romano sembra essere già stato conquistato.

Giant screens, a gang dressed in the full, black Mission: Impossible look, a red carpet in a semicircle, with Tom Cruise standing at the top of the Spanish Steps in Rome with the entire Piazza di Spagna below him, watching every move and hanging on every word.

Before kicking off his red carpet marathon, in which he seemed determined to greet every single guest, Cruise reminded the crowd of “how important it is to show not only that you can still make movies but also that you can get back to filling theaters after the most difficult time the world, and this art form, has been through.”

Cruise recalled how Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One was shot in Venice and Rome “in full COVID. “It was very important to do that to show everyone that the pandemic was not going to kill cinema,” he said. “I have to thank everyone, with our very strict safety protocols and the help of this country, together we did something extraordinary.”

Looking down from the Spanish Steps, Cruise recalled a scene the film shot in this iconic landmark.

“We turned this wonderful square, for a day, into an open-air set when we shot here and it was fantastic,” he said. “We did it by closing it off to the public, and I admit it’s one of those things that I regularly ask studios for.”

Nearly 61 years old, Cruise has not lost his childlike smile, or, he admits, his youthful ambition. “Ever since I was a child I used to look at the tallest buildings, the skyscrapers, and imagine how to climb them, or even better, how to get down from the top to the ground. Without using ladders, of course, but also without losing my life,” he added. “I think it’s that childhood dream that always pushes me further and makes me face these challenges myself.”

Cruise’s race through downtown Rome, in a vintage yellow Fiat 500, in the new Mission: Impossible seems destined to become part of the collective cinematic imagination. The mad dash between Rione Monti, Via dei Serpenti lapping Colle Oppio, through the streets around Santa Maria Maggiore before taking the less conventional descent down the Trinità dei Monti staircase, skidding to a halt at the bottom of the Spanish Steps. “I love Rome, it’s a wonderful city. I’m completely crazy about it and it’s been great to work here,” he said. “I thank you for welcoming me and how well it has allowed us to work.”

Tom Cruise Spotted in Rome for Filming of 'Mission: Impossible 7' [Video]

Superstar Tom Cruise is in Rome for the filming of “Mission: Impossible 7,” the seventh installment of the famous action spy series, where Cruise plays the role of Ethan Hunt, an agent of the Impossible Missions Force. 

Cruise and co-star Hayley Atwell were spotted filming on the famous Via dei Fori Imperiali, the long boulevard that cuts across the Imperial Fora area, the monumental public squares of ancient Rome, between Piazza Venezia and the Colosseum. 

“The scene revolved around a car chase with a black BMW M5 and several Italian ‘ polizia ’ (police) cars, in addition to a motorcycle and a special forces police truck,” reports Euronews.

Cruise waved at cameras and was smiling. 

According to ANSA, shooting will take place in different parts of Rome's historic center, including the area around Castel Sant’Angelo and Rione Monti. 

“This is a very big economic and organizational commitment, while adopting scrupulous measures to prevent the spread of the virus, with daily tests for the entire crew and cast, and the disinfection of sets and equipment,” said Rome city council, who also stressed how “major international productions are continuing to choose Rome,” with 596 requests to the cinema office between June and August, up from 583 in the same period last year.

“Mission: Impossible 7,” directed by Christopher McQuarrie, is scheduled to be released in November 2021 by Paramount Pictures.

Tom cruise in rome: 40 days of open-air film sets and car chases in the city centre..

Hollywood film star Tom Cruise and his film crew are to take over some of central Rome's most prized locations for the filming of a major new movie this spring.

The film, with the provisional title of Lybra , will be filmed over a period of 40 days, starting around mid-March.

The action is due to take place on open-air sets in Piazza Navona , Piazza Venezia, in the cobblestoned streets of the Monti quarter and perhaps also in Piazza di Spagna.

Special effects scenes and car chases are expected to be filmed around central Rome, with the city receiving a handsome fee of €200,000 a day for the use of public land.

Tom Cruise in Rome

This will be the third significant return to Rome for Cruise who filmed scenes for Mission Impossible 3 in the capital in 2005, returning a year later to marry actress Katie Holmes in a sumptuous wedding ceremony at the Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano.

When Cruise arrived in Rome to film the third installment of Mission Impossible he and his entourage stayed in the Hotel Hassler, above the Spanish Steps . Cruise made headlines in Rome at the time for filming the unforgettable speedboat chase on the Tiber, which he did - as usual - without stunt doubles.

There is mystery surrounding the "Lybra" film project, which coincides with the announcement of the cast of the seventh edition of Mission Impossible , which will star Rebecca Ferguson and Hayley Atwell alongside Cruise. The speculation is that Lybra is in fact Mission Impossible 7 .

The movie will be the latest in a string of international productions filmed in Rome in recent years, such as Zoolander 2 , To Rome with Love by Woody Allen and of course, the James Bond movie Spectre  with Daniel Craig in 2014.

Movies filmed in Rome during the previous decade include Angels and Demons with Tom Hanks, The Talented Mr Ripley with Matt Damon, Eat Pray Love with Julia Roberts, and Gangs of New York with Leonardo DiCaprio in 2000.

Tom Cruise arrives in Rome for wedding

Tom Cruise flew into a Rome airport on a private jet Monday, airport officials said, setting off a frenzy among media and fans anticipating the star's high-profile wedding to Katie Holmes.

Cruise arrived at Rome's small Ciampino airport from Los Angeles with about 10 people, including his mother and his three children, airport officials said.

The 44-year-old actor and Holmes, 27, are set to marry in an undisclosed Italian location Saturday. Speculation on the location has focused on Odescalchi Castle on Lake Bracciano, near the capital. The romantic, 15th-century castle, with its halls and gardens, can host up to 1,400 guests.

Local officials and residents remain tightlipped, and Bracciano's mayor has only acknowledged that authorities received a request to clear the square in front of the castle.

Some 100 fans mingled with photographers and camera crews in front of the Hassler, the luxury Rome hotel on top of the Spanish Steps where Cruise was said by airport officials to be staying. An employee at the hotel's front desk, who refused to give her name, denied that Cruise was staying there.

Traffic police managed the crowd at the Hassler and bodyguards stood at the ready next to limousines parked in front of the hotel.

Holmes and Cruise became engaged in June 2005. Their daughter, Suri, was born April 18.

Cruise, has two children, 13-year-old Isabella, and 11-year-old Connor, from his marriage to Nicole Kidman. Kidman and Tom Cruise divorced in 2001 after 10 years of marriage.

Holmes, who starred in TV's "Dawson's Creek," had been engaged to Chris Klein. Cruise was also previously married to Mimi Rogers, and had a high-profile romance with Penelope Cruz.
