One of world's eyeball attractions, the Hollywood blockbuster Mission Impossible, will have nearly 20 percent of its content shot in China in its latest version, hero Tom Cruise told a promotion conference held in Shanghai Wednesday.
The Mission Impossible III will present the world a "real and spectacular China," said the heartthrob.
Cruise filmed part of his movie Mission Impossible III in Shanghai and nearby Xitang, a town near Shanghai in east China's Zhejiang province.
Shanghai's Jinmao Tower, the country's tallest building, and the city's futuristic Oriental Pearl TV Tower, will both be featured in the movie, with Cruise's breathtaking performances on them.
The film will become the first mainstream Hollywood blockbuster to shoot in China without any negative implications, according to director J.J. Abrams.
Cruise gushed about the China's spectacular vistas, culture and friendliness, saying he planned to come back in the future to see more of the country.
"It's spectacular. It's unbelievable," he said. "It's going to look extraordinary on film."
Cruise and his crew wrapped up two weeks of shooting for Mission Impossible III in China. It is said that the movie's producers are negotiating to simultaneously release M:I3 in the United States and China next summer.
Tom Cruise won his fame in China mainly through the two previous Mission Impossible movies and last year's War of the Worlds.
