Cancelled: Tom Cruise’s plans for a busy day of filming were thwarted on Thursday when high winds meant that production on Mission: Impossible 8 had to be halted
With fast winds and low clouds thwarting plans, the crew decided to stop filming for the day.
Tom was dressed casually for the outing as he donned a black padded jacket and a pair of navy blue jeans.
Also on set was director Christopher, who wore a navy blue polo shirt with black pants and a matching coat.
It comes after Tom, who plays Ethan Hunt in the franchise, reportedly apologized for ruining a couple’s hike while filming the scene.

Jason and Sarah Haygarth were walking nearby when they spotted the production team’s helicopter.
“Towards the end of the hike, the last peak, we start to see helicopters coming up a ravine and dropping people off the top… We thought that didn’t seem right,” Jason told Extra.
“We found out the people, those were the cameramen. When we reached the top, we were stopped by a member of the production team and said, “You can’t go. We’re going to land the chopper on top…” So we took a selfie,” he said.
After the helicopters landed, the pair continued on their way where they met Tom strapping on a paraglider.
