Gee, when are we gonna get that supposed name change, anyway? All this casting crap, I wanna know what the actual name of the movie is going to be. Whatever. Tom Cruise's
Mission: Impossible team is turning out to be hella cool. In fact, Cruise might be the least hip of the bunch as now Josh Holloway has signed to play a member of the squad. He'll be joining the returning Cruse, Ving Rhames, and Simon Pegg. Also along for the ride are Jeremy Renner and Paula Patton. Michael Nyqvist(
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
) is playing the sh*t heel this time.
All this comes as we're learning that the film is set to begin shooting soon in Dubai, with additional shoots in Prague and Venice. Color me jealous.
Holloway has had plenty of small roles in mostly unknown films but this will be his biggest gig by far.
Mission: Impossible 4 is being directed by Brad Bird(
The Incredibles
), and produced by JJ Abrams. It's scheduled for release on December 16th, 2011.
