Tom Cruise returns as IMF Agent Ethan Hunt in this fourth installment to the Mission: Impossible series. The film premiered its first official trailer on June 28th; however the scheduled release date will not be until mid-December 2011.
Although snatching a glimpse of Cruise's death-defying acrobatics as he scaled a monstrous skyscraper was enough to add this to our highly anticipated releases list, the identity of the female co-star catapulted MI:4 to the very top. Stunning Paula Patton plays Jane Carter opposite Cruise's title character in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. While there are no specifics as to whether or not Carter and Hunt will find themselves enthralled in both a fast-paced spy chase AND a heated romance, we're hoping this will be the case. 11 Years ago, MI:2 added to the rising trend of featuring IR couples in lead roles of big budget films. In that second part of the series, Thandie Newton co-starred in the franchise film as Agent Hunt's fiesty love interest and ex-thief Nyah Nordoff-Hall. The couple's smoldering onscreen romance was enough to keep my eyes glued to the screen for the remainder of the film. Hopefully, this match-up between Cruise and Patton will be equally sizzling, if not more so...we'll have to wait until December to find out.
Other noteworthy co-stars include Jeremy Renner (Marvel's Thor) and Simon Pegg, who happened to play Newton's sloth-like ex-fiance and father to her son in Run, Fatboy Run (2007). Ving Rhames also makes a return to reprise his role as tech-savvy Luther Stickwell.
With a well-rounded line-up of stars and a promising preview of what's in store for our dashing agent, we're hoping that this action flick will be well worth the extended wait.
