Mission: Impossible IV Hot News Update

It would appear to be that another impossible mission has just been accomplished. After waiting for almost four years, we finally have concrete news about the follow-up movie in Tom Cruises most popular franchise, Mission: Impossible.

The crew for the fourth installment of the Ethan Hunt series has finally been released.

First of all, we have the brand, spanking new agent, Josh Holloway. We all know him from Lost, the show that J.J. Abrams abandoned to direct Mission Impossible 3.

Then we have the new attraction factor; Paula Patton. Many of us recognize her only because of her husband, Blue-Eyed Soul singer Robin Thicke. She is set to play a young spymaybe she hooks up with the gang, maybe she doesnt.

Of course no movie is any good without the antagonist; the villain. They chose the right guy. He can look charming; he can look evil. Swedish actor Michael Nyqvist looks like hes gonna be perfect villain material. He is most known for his roles in The Girl Whoseries. You know, The Girl who Played with Fire, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest.

And while Im looking forward to Nyqvists performance, theres someone who Im even more eager to see join up with the M:I team.

Jeremy Rennerthe actor popular for his nice guy with a bad boy attitude roles, who we know from hit action movies like S.W.A.T., The Hurt Locker, and The Town. Yeah, Im throwing his role as Dahmer out of the grading curvecreepy or not, he did a fantastic job.

So not only is he joining the teamtheres word on the Silver Screen Streets that hes being groomed and cultivated to take over the franchise when Cruise is gone. (Attn: all Jeremy Renner fans may now participate in LL Cool Js victory dance)

Last but not least, we have the dark Russian; Vladimir Mashkov. Best known for his roles in movies like Okhota na Piranyu, Amerikanskaya doch, andKandagar. Alright, alright calm down, I know you cant read that. Im kidding! While those are actual popular movies in Russia, you will know him from Dancing at the Blue Iguana, Tycoon: a New Russian, and also as the ruthless hunter Sasha from Behind Enemy Lines. It has not been released whether Mashkov will be for, or against Ethan Hunt and his team.

Then we have (hopefully) the original cast which includes Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Maybe well have Laurence Fishburne, too?

So to say the least, its out of the frying pan and into the fire for the producers of M:I: IV. If fans werent already anxious enough for the third sequel, set to be filmed in Dubai; now that theres a baitwell be waiting for the hook, line, and sinker to appear!
