In early October we saw photos of Tom Cruise strung up on safety wires as he filmed a few stunt scenes for his upcoming sequel film Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. Today we get to see a couple more photos of stuntman Tom in action … but this time, he is strung up a wee bit higher … near the top of the world’s tallest building — Burj Kahlifa in Dubai:
From jumping off buildings to fighting with samurai swords and scaling mountains without ropes, Tom Cruise has always insisted on doing his own stunts when making an action movie. And this weekend the actor proved he is still very much the adrenaline junkie as he dangled almost 2,717 ft in the air from the tallest building in the world. The actor was filming near the top of the Burj Kahlifa in Dubai for scenes for the fourth Mission: Impossible film. On Saturday, the actor was snapped hanging precariously from the observation deck of the building, which is 124 floors high, as fans watched in awe and terror from the street below. Dressed all in black, the 48-year-old ran across the windows of the tower as technicians and film crew watched nervously from an open window above him. Another actor hung alongside him for the scene, which see Cruise jumping over him during a chase round the exterior of the building. A helicopter hovered just ten feet away from the building as crew inside filmed the scene for the movie, which will be released next year. And even by his standards, this weekend’s stunt was Cruise’s most dangerous yet, as onlookers watched with their heart in their mouths. Cruise was later joined by his co-stars Jeremy Renner, 39, and Paula Patton, 34, at the Armani hotel where they held a press conference to announce that the fourth installment in the movie franchise will be called Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.
Yikes! See, and I thought Tom Cruise had gotten over his craziness … this is insane! You absolutely gotta hand it to the guy … doing your own stunts is one thing, but this stunt is just outrageous. I cannot believe he let himself but strung out a window like that … and then filmed movie scenes! Insane. Say what you will about Tom Cruise, he is a man that is dedicated to his craft. I wonder if he’ll ever be able to outdo this stunt. Are you impressed?
