According to The Wrap, production on The Batman, Mission: Impossible 7, and many other movies is going to resume in the UK. The country’s Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden has announced that cast and crew members will be exempted from the quarantine rules. Dowden also revealed that he personally spoke to Tom Cruise about the exemption.

‘The Batman’ and latest ‘Mission: Impossible‘ movie were just some of the movie and TV projects forced to halt production in recent months due to the current health crisis.

Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said this weekend that the blockbusters can resume filming in the UK following exemption of quarantine rules set out by the government.

Dowden shared, “The world’s biggest blockbusters and high-end TV shows are made in Britain. Our creativity, expertise and highly successful tax reliefs for our screen industries means that we are an in-demand location that in turn delivers a great return for our economy. We want the industry to bounce back and exempting small numbers of essential cast and crew from quarantine is part of our continued commitment to getting cameras rolling safely again.”

But there will be some conditions along with the exemptions. Movies will be allowed to begin production only in England and crew members will be limited to a bubble environment. They will have to live in close proximity to the production area.

Along with Mission: Impossible 7 and The Batman, Jurassic World: Dominion, Fantastic Beasts 3, Sony’s live-action musical adaptation of Cinderella, and Disney’s The Little Mermaid remake will resume production.
