Tom Cruise reportedly buys robots to enforce COVID-19 safety on film set

Tom Cruise has shelled out “huge sums” for two high-tech robots to enforce coronavirus safety protocols on the set of “Mission: Impossible 7” – and also administer spot tests to the crew, according to a report.

“Tom is so serious about making sure the shoot isn’t shut down that he’s splashed out on these robots as he can’t be everywhere to ensure people are behaving themselves,” a source on the set told The Sun.

Shooting resumes this week in the UK before the production heads to Dubai, the source said.

The 58-year-old megastar — who recently blew up at two crew members for flouting COVID-19 safety protocols – has spent millions to move the production to a former tank design base in Longcross in Surrey, the outlet has reported.

I thought he had been ‘audited’, his ‘reactive mind’ cleansed of ‘engrams’, become ‘clear’ - and all that.

Funny that with such cleansing behind him he’s such a scared-y cat.

(Maybe he needs some psychiatry.)

In other news, Tom Cruise is a self-centered, hypochondriac d-bag.

The robots are a novelty. They jump on couches and tell people to stop seeking psychiatric help.

Actually the real problem for this film, as I see it, is the release date. I guess it’s at least 4-6 months from completion, maybe a few movie theaters will be open by then. But more likely with such a huge budget they will hold it until the country comes to its senses - or decides to collectively shrug this all off. Que sera, sera.
