The pandemic has taken a toll on big budget spy movies. The oft-moved James Bond film "No Time to Die" was originally supposed to premiere in March of 2020 but did not reach theater screens until September, 2021. Now the omnipresent virus has caused Paramount to push back the release date of "Mission: Impossible 7" to July of 2023, which means the film will debut almost two years after its previously announced premiere date of September 30, 2022. Consequently, the eighth installment of the long-running series starring Tom Cruise will be pushed back to June of 2024. The seventh film in the series has been shooting for what must seem like an eternity for those involved, with multiple exotic international locations affected in different ways by the impact of the pandemic. Meanwhile, Cruise's sequel to "Top Gun", which has already seen its release date delayed, still appears to be penciled in for a May 27, 2022 opening. For more, click here.
