Paula Patton Signs Up For Mission: Impossible 4

While we've had plenty of manly man types added to the roster for director Brad Bird's Mission: Impossible 4, we've yet to hear of any female additions to the role call. Until now that is... It turns out that Paula Patton has joined the likes of Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg for more, well, impossible missions.

The actor, who has starred in the likes of Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire and Just Wright, will be playing the female lead but there isn't much in the way of details about the role yet - although according to Deadline, Patton will be playing a young operative who works as part of Ethan Hunt (Cruise)'s M:I team.

The production is getting ready to start filming later this year.
