M:I 6 delayed for two months over Tom Cruise injury?
Tom Cruise's on-set injury will apparently be pushing Mission: Impossible 6 way over its production schedule.
The actor hurt his ankle on the weekend when he botched a stunt in which he was jumping between high-rise buildings, forcing work on the next Mission: Impossible sequel to temporarily shut down.

Now, The Hollywood Reporter says that Tom's possibly-broken ankle will delay production on the movie until at least October, pushing the end of filming back two months to Christmas.
Paramount Pictures has yet to confirm or deny reports that work on Mission: Impossible will be pushed into the autumn.
In an interview with Graham Norton earlier in the year, Tom revealed that he'd been in training for six months to prepare for the most ambitious stunts in the franchise's history.
"It is really crazy," he promised at the time. "We've shot some of the stuff in Paris already and it is going to be really wild and thrilling for the audience. There is always another mountain."
Mission: Impossible 6 is still scheduled to open on Friday, July 27, 2018 in the US and UK in spite of Cruise's injury.
The sequel reunites him with franchise veterans Rebecca Ferguson, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames and Michelle Monaghan, and introduces newcomers Sian Brooke, Henry Cavill and Angela Bassett.
