Mission: Impossible 4 Gets a Female Lead
So far three actresses has been rumored for the female lead in the upcoming fourth Mission: Impossible flick. Those has been Kristin Kreuk (TV’s Smallville, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li), Paula Patton (Precious) and Lauren German (Hostel: Part II). Now Deadline has confirmed that Patton has come out as the victor and has gotten the role. Not much is known about her part, other than the fact that she’ll play a young operative who has to work together with Ethan Hunt, who, as usual, is being portrayed by the always excellent yet underrated Tom Cruise.
In all honesty this is the first time I have ever heard of Patton, at least knowingly, since she’s also had top billings in both Deja Vu, Swing Vote and Mirrors, all three of which I have actually seen. From what I can remember, I enjoyed her performance in each for what it was. She has yet to really stand out or shine in anything and I doubt that will be the case with Mission: Impossible 4 either.
The movie’s being directed by Brad Bird of Ratatouille and The Incredibles fame, who’s going to be having his live-action cherry popped with the film. Aside from Cruise and Patton, Jeremy Renner, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg will also star. Are you looking forward to M:I4?

This is, as far as I know, now being called Mission: Impossible. Which is just ridiculous. Enough with the goddamn reboots.

Posted by pcch7 on September 3rd, 2010Kreuk is hot but a terrible actress. Haven’t seen Paula in much but I’d hit it… twice.

Posted by DavidM on September 3rd, 2010Thank god Kristin Kreuk wasn’t cast as the female lead! She’s pleasant to the eyes but a really terrible actress!
Besides she had her own series already…”Lanaville” was on the the WB for 7 seasons…now it’s a new show called “Smallville”.
