Reuters reports that Germany has turned down a request by Tom Cruise to shoot scenes for Mission: Impossible 3 in the famous Reichstag parliament building’s giant glass and steel dome. Cruise was in the capital last month to scout locations for the second sequel, which starts shooting later this year.
One of his favorite locations was the 130-feet diameter dome on the top of the parliament building, said a spokesman for the Studio Babelsberg production firm near Berlin, which is working with Cruise to find locations.
But the German parliament turned down the request to film there. “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.”

As a German citizen I just like to throw in how stupid Germans are. Thank God, I always have considered myself as being an American although I don’t have any roots back there. But that’s enough from me – I’m just mad now. Germany can be lucky to say that Tom was interested in filming here but oh well.
