THR:
A pay dispute halted preproduction earlier this summer.
Light the match and cue the music.
After contentious dealmaking halted preproduction on Mission: Impossible 6, earlier this summer, Tom Cruise is on the verge of closing his deal to return to the Paramount action-thriller franchise.
Cruise’s return for a sixth installment in a movie series that he has been toplining and producing since 1996 seemed like a no-brainer, but negotiations with Paramount took an unexpected turn with the studio, which was co-financing the movie with Skydance, digging in on things such as backend profit participation.
That's good news as far as I'm concerned
Really enjoyed Rogue Nation, though he's really starting to show his age
