From SciFi:
Germany has turned down a request by Tom Cruise to shoot scenes for the upcoming Mission: Impossible 3 in the famous Reichstag parliament building's giant glass-and-steel dome, a parliamentary spokesman told the Reuters news service. Cruise, 41, co-producer and star of M:I 3, was in the German capital last month to scout locations for the sequel, due to start filming later this year, the wire service reported.
One of his favorite locations was the 130-foot-diameter dome on the top of the parliament building. But the German parliament turned down the request to film there, Reuters reported. "The building is not available as a film location, and we refuse point-blank every request to use it as such," said a spokesman for Parliament President Wolfgang Thierse. "It is about maintaining the dignity of the parliament."
* Oh those nutty Germans....
:yes:
