British Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden spoke with Tom Cruise last weekend about production plans for "Mission: Impossible 7" moving forward.

As countries create new exemptions for film and television productions during the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.K. government has announced it plans to exempt `small numbers of essential cast and crew` from its 14-day travel quarantine in order to streamline production and get back to work on blockbusters.

In the case of `essential cast,` that would include leading U.S. actors such as Tom Cruise, as the exemption will allow filming to resume on Cruise's `Mission: Impossible 7` - as well as `Mission: Impossible 8` - at Warner Bros. Studio Leavesden, near London.

British Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden actually spoke with Cruise last weekend about production plans moving forward, stating that, `New exemption from quarantine rules for filmmakers means we can start making the world's best blockbusters again.`

`Today's immensely welcome news is also a clear recognition of the importance of the film and high-end TV inward investment sector to the UK's economy,` said Adrian Wooton, chief executive of the British Film Commission.



Ben Roberts, chief executive of the British Film Institute, added: `Film and television are worth Pound 9.9 billion to the UK economy and being able to get production back up and running as quickly as possible is going to help our industry and its 77,000 production workers contribute to the UK's economic recovery.`
