Patton Joins Impossible Cast

Deja Vu actress Paula Patton has signed on to play the lead female role in the new Mission: Impossible film.

The gorgeous Patton landed the role of a fresh operative who will shoot vast amounts of ammunition next to Tom Cruise’s returning Ethan Hunt.

Details on the fourth impossible Mission are being kept top secret with Hunt himself not even able to access the place where they are being guarded…..we think?

However, the new film is being considered a “reboot”, and won’t have the number four attached to it anywhere. Well it has been over 14 years since the first film was released so maybe “reboot” is the right word.

It’ll be the live-action directing debut for Brad Bird, while J.J. Abrams is producing. On a positive note Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg will both reprise their former roles, and Jeremy Renner has joined as a potential future replacement for Tom Cruise.

Mission: Impossible will start filming this Autumn, and opens in cinemas on 16 December, 2011.
