Preproduction on "Mission: Impossible 6" has reportedly been halted following a dispute over salary between franchise's face Tom Cruise and Paramount.
The studio, which was co-financing the movie with Skydance, was in the preparatory stages for a January 2017 production start.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, there is still no agreement on Cruise's back-end profit participation as the actor is reportedly looking to match or exceed what he is getting from Universal for "Mummy" reboot.
Christopher McQuarrie, who wrote the fifth installment, is back as a scriptwriter on the movie.
