Mission: Impossible Covid shutdowns prompt lawsuit

Paramount said that it had stopped filming seven times during the pandemic, for reasons including UK government travel restrictions.

It alleges the Federal Insurance Company paid out only $5m (£3.6m), even though losses were many times that.

Federal parent company Chubb was approached for comment.

Mission: Impossible, which stars Tom Cruise, is a blockbuster franchise for Paramount.
