Mission Impossible III to be filmed in China?

Posted by Jeremy Goldkorn, May 10, 2005 12:58 PM

From CRI (China Radio International's website):

Hollywood lady-killer Tom Cruise will shoot Mission Impossible 3 in China.
The superstar will drive a motorcycle loaded with guns on the streets of Beijing and Shanghai.

According to the film's producer Zhang Jiazheng, Mission Impossible 3 will be and in China starting in July.

Paramount Pictures and Cruise's production company have announced that JJ Abrams has been chosen to direct the third installment of the action-adventure series, which is a remake of a popular 1960s TV show.

There does not seem to be any other news source confirming plans to shoot the film in China, although that has not stopped state-owned new agency Xinhua from copying the CRI report verbatim.
