(GameSpot PSP News)

The production of Mission: Impossible 6 has shut down following an on-set accident involving star Tom Cruise. It has been reported that it could be up to three months before the movie starts shooting once more.According to Variety, the London-based production will be paused for `six weeks to three months` to give Cruise time to recover from his injuries. While there has no been no official statement from Paramount about the accident, Variety`s sources suggest that Cruise may have `broken his ankle in two places and hurt his hip.`Cruise injured himself last weekend while performing a stunt which required him to jump a gap between two buildings. The 55-year-old actor is known for performing many of his own stunts across the entire Mission: Impossible series.The movie currently has a release date of July 27, 2018. Although it is unknown whether the film`s release will need to move back, Variety suggests that it could still make the the release date if the post-production process begins during the downtime.Nevertheless, the busy schedules for co-stars Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, and Henry Cavill will be an issue for Paramount. The schedule clash between M:I6 and reshoots on DC`s Justice League has been in the news recently, when it was revealed that Cavill--who also plays Superman in DC`s movies--would have to have his M:I6 mustache digitally removed from Justice League.M:I6 suffered delays last year before production had even begun. It was originally set to start shooting last year, but a dispute over Cruise`s contract led to it being postponed until this summer.
