I have literally been telling you this news for months and months, but the mainstream media is finally reporting that this government leader has given the OK to blow up a bridge because he thinks he is the best friend of this permanent A+ list mostly movie actor.

Mission: Impossible 7 reportedly plans on blowing up a 111-year-old Polish bridge

The Mission: Impossible franchise is best known for its large-scale, death-defying stunts, but some observers are wondering if it may have gone a bridge too far with its latest plans. Mission: Impossible 7, the upcoming (and still-unnamed) entry in the franchise from filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie, is reportedly planning to blow up a 111-year-old Polish bridge as part of its production — and the response has included appeals for preservation and concerns about the bridge’s fate.

While coronavirus-driven delays have pushed back production on the action film (Mission: Impossible – Fallout, its predecessor, saw star Tom Cruise perform an extended high-altitude, low-opening parachute jump), it seems that its showstopping plans haven’t been dampened. The latest set piece in their sights? A 111-year-old, 495-foot suspension railway bridge located over Poland’s Lake Pilchowickie. The bridge, which was decommissioned in 2016, is now the center of debate: Should it be in the production, bringing a AAA Hollywood film to Poland, or should it be preserved?

A spokesperson for Paramount tells SYFY WIRE that the studio has no comment on the situation at this time.

McQuarrie, meanwhile, has issued a statement to Empire, claiming that the production’s intentions were “misrepresented” by a disgruntled individual who “retaliated,” which resulted in the current furor.

——McQuarrie does not refute the plans to destroy the bridge for a “rough concept for a sequence involving a bridge over a body of water, ideally one that could be (spoiler alert) partially destroyed,” writing that “we’re also happy to get rid of any condemned bridges that might be lying around” while the production takes advantage of Poland’s “new film incentive program.”

Polish railway authority PKP PLK denied the plans back in March, tweeting: “We do not blow up the bridges, we improve their condition — the historical ones are preserved!” – Source

Culture Ministry Faces Dilemma over ‘Mission Impossible’ Bridge

Poland’s Ministry of Culture and National Heritage is scratching its head over the fate of an old bridge film-makers want to blow up during filming for the seventh ‘Mission Impossible’ movie.

The lucrative movie franchise starring Tom Cruise is due to be filmed in part in Poland, where the makers want to make use of a 111-year-old bride in the village of Pilchowice in the southern province of Silesia.

Built in 1909 to service connections between Wleń and Jelenia Góra, the 151-metre bridge was constructed on two sandstone pillars and suspended 40 metres over Lake Pilchowickie.

The row erupted after director Christopher McQuarrie posted a photo on his Instagram feed in December, with locals quick to respond.

One the one hand, Polish authorities are obliged to encourage the movie industry to shoot in the country; on the other, they are committed to protecting ancient architecture.- Source
