The latest Mission Impossible film has shut down their production after a staffer received a positive Covid test.

The shutdown comes months after  Tom Cruise went off on his staff for being careless about Covid regulations while filming. The production will be shutdown for at least 14 days.

“We have temporarily halted production on Mission: Impossible 7 until June 14th, due to positive coronavirus test results during routine testing. We are following all safety protocols and will continue to monitor the situation,” read a statement from the production.

This is the most recent shutdown for Mission Impossible. The production shutdown in 2020 during the height of the pandemic. Mission Impossible VII is set to be released next May.

AEW Wrestler Spotlight: Anthony Ogogo

written by Ruben Jay

All Elite Wrestling has been a leader in the wrestling landscape during the Covid-19 Pandemic. This weekend, the promotion became the first to hold a full capacity event in well over a year. While WWE’s WrestleMania had more fans in attendance, AEW is the first to fill a building to capacity.

AEW’s Double or Nothing saw almost 6,000 fans plus the crew and stars of the show. Amongst all of the hype, energy, and chaos of Double or Nothing, a star was born. That star, Anthony Ogogo.

Ogogo is a boxing superstar and former Olympian. He is a mega heel and he held his own against the American Dream Cody Rhodes. During the multi-week exchange between Rhodes and Ogogo, Ogogo showed the fans and critics alike that he had what it took to be a big player in AEW.

Sure, the guy drew on the heat of being anti-American, a tactic in pro-wrestling is as old as the day is long, but it worked. And it worked extremely well against the American Dream, Cody Rhodes. Rhodes ultimately got the win, that doesn’t mean the program between Ogogo and Rhodes is over.

In fact, this is just the beginning. AEW did a great job laying out the possible groundwork for this feud to continue. How could a monster heel from the UK just walk away after being defeated by an American? This feud will go on. And mark my words: if Ogogo sticks around, he will become a MEGA heel champion for AEW.

Ogogo can also be a key signing for AEW long term. As AEW continues to expand,  the UK is going to be a huge market for them and having Ogogo has a top star is going to be vital for their expansion. Ogogo is going to be a top draw for the company. He will be over. He will show the world that he can be money.

written by Ruben Jay

Kevin Spacey, 61, is returning to acting.

Yahoo News is reporting that Spacey has been cast in an Italian film, L’uomo Che Disegnò Dio, which translates to The Man Who Drew God. The film is being directed by Italian actor Franco Nero who will also be in the film.

Spacey was accused of sexual assault a few years back and subsequently came out as a gay man. Those allegations lead to the cancelation of House of Cards on Netflix.

“I’m very happy Kevin agreed to participate in my film,” Nero told ABC. “I consider him a great actor and I can’t wait to start the movie.”

According to the film’s producer, Louis Nero, Spacey’s role is a cameo.
