When Mission Impossible 3 was released, it broke the record by becoming the most expensive film made by a first-time director. J.J. Abrams, who went on to produce the 4th, 5th, and 6th parts of the Tom Cruise-led franchise, made his directorial debut through. The hype around the movie had increased to great levels because a huge crowd would always be present while the film was shooting in Rome.

In order to deter this situation, the producers of Mission Impossible 3 came up with an unusual idea. They set up a fake second unit to make it look like they were the real ones, while the actual first unit shot the movie at a different location. Moreover, it said that the phony crew consisted of young women in bikinis and older women dressed as nuns.
That’s one way to deflect a crowd. Now, fans await the release of MI 7 and 8, which are said to be the last venture of Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt. It is also reported that the upcoming instalments will have a bigger budget than ever before.
