Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie have reportedly hired bodyguards after receiving death threats from a former employee.
The Sun reports the former employee began a legal battle after being let go from Mission: Impossible 8. A source told the tabloid, “Tom and Chris are still working on Mission: Impossible 8, mostly in the UK, but things have got increasingly unpleasant with a former crew member and now it’s a case of taking no chances.”
The former employee had reportedly been tasked to scout locations for stunts. His legal dispute against Cruise, McQuarrie, and Paramount Studios was first reported in French newspapers according to The Sun.
The source added, “It’s all turned very nasty, but those involved in the films are confident everything is totally fine, he’s just an angry ex-staff member.”
