Tom Cruise Gave His Blessing for Thelma to Use Mission: Impossible Footage

One of the great things about the new movie Thelma is not only getting to see 94-year-old June Squibb portray a sassy, kick-ass heroine, but the fact that it was given permission from Tom Cruise himself to use footage from Mission: Impossible.
