Technical equipment to shoot Mission: Impossible 6 is being helicoptered in to southern Norway's most famous tourist attraction - which means the site is being temporarily closed off for visitors.
Cameras are to be rolling from Tuesday through Thursday at the Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock), a plateau and spectacular viewpoint over
Norway's mountainous landscape that sits more than 600 metres above the Lysefjord.
Tom Cruise, who broke his ankle while performing a stunt for the film during a London shoot, is expected to be on the Norway set.
The Stavanger Aftenblad newspaper said an airplane with filming gear has landed at a nearby airport and a helicopter was seen hoisting containers onto Pulpit Rock.
The film is scheduled to open in July 2018.
