Tom Cruise Movies: Rehearsals start for Tom Cruise blockbuster in Vancouver: Rehearsals are underway in Metro Vancouver for the Tom Cruise blockbuster, Mission: Impossible 4. Cast and producers have been arriving, and rumour has it preproduction has begun at Burnaby's Canada Motion Picture Park, where scenes for Twilight, Fantastic Four and X-Men were previously filmed. Tom Cruise arrived quietly in Hollywood North this week and has been lying low at his hotel in Metro Vancouver.
Local photographers PUNKD Images have snapped photos of MI4 co-stars Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead) and Mikael Nyqvist (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) arriving at YVR. However, Cruise appears to have dodged the paparazzi lenses to date. Also keep an eye out on the streets for Josh Holloway, best known for playing the rugged James "Sawyer" Ford on Lost. Filming of the action sequel began in Prague and Dubai; they'll be shooting locally until March.
Secret agent Ethan Hunt (Cruise) will also be performing his death-defying stunts at at least one confirmed location in Richmond. According to the Richmond News, the City of Richmond has signed confidentiality agreements with Paramount Pictures and cannot release any information on the selected sites.
