Paula Patton, Kristin Kreuk, Lauren German Up For Mission Impossible 4?
By Krystal Clark
The Mission Impossible news just keeps on coming as a trio of actresses have auditioned to play Tom Cruise’s leading lady. According to Deadline, Paula Patton, Kristin Kreuk, and Lauren German have all tested for the part of a young female operative. Whoever lands the role will also act opposite Jeremy Renner who was cast earlier this week as Cruise’s sidekick.
I know there are a lot of “Smallville” fans who want to see Kreuk in this part. The last time we saw her in anything big it was that horrible Street Fighter sequel, The Legend of Chung Li. She’s not a bad actress, that was just some severely bad material. Even though she’s in her late twenties, it would be hard to visualize her side by side with Cruise or Renner. She still looks like a kid to me. What do you think?
Patton on the other hand fits like a glove. She was last seen in the Oscar nominated indie film Precious, and is rumored to be joining the cast of next season’s “Law & Order: SVU.” But if she gets picked up for both the film and the show, there might be a scheduling issue.
Next we have Lauren German, who appeared in the short lived TV series “Happy Town” and Hostel: Part II. I’ve never seen any of her work, so I can’t really judge what she can or can’t do. Have you seen her in anything? If so, tell me how she is.
Who do you think should be the female lead?

Who the hell are these actress? So I googled them and pass on all 3 of them.
Paula Patton – Might be okay, she's Robin Thicke's wife, has some creds but nothing really intriguing about her, perhaps her being of color might be beneficial but I say pass.
Kristin Kreuk – Big pass she looks like she hasn't hit puberty, looks like my 16 yr old teenage daughter, no charisma.
Lauren German – Yeah she's got height nothing really intriguing seems boring but if I had to chose out of the 3 I'd chose Lauren.
But they gotta get some other actresses. MI:4 sounds like a big flop if their casting these actresses.

I kinda wanted Kreuk 's character on Chuck to develop into more of a female operative since thats what it look like the character was going to be. That role was the first one where she got some legit credit from critics and it would nice to see her acting alongside Simon Pegg and Jeremy Renner as much as Tom Cruise.
She looked like a grown woman on Chuck to me, so I dont see how the apperance is too much of a problem.

I watched Chuck, she's not appealing to me but I guess we'll differ in opinions. I don't this woman appealing at all for this type of genre, she's better suited for the teenage melodrama like Dawsons creek in my honest opinion, there's a reason why she's not getting any work in any big mainstream movies its because she has no appeal, honestly saying this as a casual viewer. But we'll have differing opinions. I find Yvonne from Chuck to be very appealing, she's got it all in one package, now that's the kind of woman I want casted as opposed to the three woman that are auditioning.

No I've seen recent pictures I'm not that stupid, she looks like a girl not a kickass sassy athletic sexy woman. She's more suited for soap opera stuff.

I want Kristin Kreuk!!

Kristin doesn't really do photoshoots, so if you google her, will likely see mostly pictures up to 7 or 8 years old…you know , when she was closer to 19 or 20. Watch her on Chuck…she looks fine and older…she's still small…but so is Tom Cruise

Well to be honest, the teenage melodrama roles are the last thing she needs to do she needs to move on from that. She got a TON of positive responses from being on Chuck, People like Alan Sepinwall, IGN, LA Times, Chicago Sun Times, TWoP really kinda praised her for her run. She definitely had a great chemistry with Zachari Levy.
But you're kind of assuming the female lead needs to be a kick ass chick. Who's to say she's not along the lines of a computer operative or something. When I think back to the first M:I movie in this series, it seemed like Cruise was the main one doing the action scenes. In fact it would probably more true to the roots of the tv show and the first film if the crew were more tech spies and undercover operative than kick ass commandos.
Again when you take that into account, I dont think their needs to be a bunch of Sarah Connors in this thing.

If there was any justice it would be anyone but Kristin Kreuk. Her hardcore Smallville fans are among the most vile and hateful and karma is a bitch.

Definitely Kristin Kreuk, she is more beautiful, sexy, and younger than the other actresses.
She is perfect for the movie Mission Impossible 4.

Just the old Tom Cruise.
The new woman agent has to be young, not old.
Stop for old people in action movies

All the actresses are very pretty, but I would say that Kristin Kreuk is the least sexy one of them. She's too skinny and short. And what does being a few years younger than the other actresses have anything to do with being 'prefect' for the role? At least the other two can act. Kristin Kreuk? Not so much. Not unless you count quivering your lips for everything emotion great acting.

Well if they cast Kristin Kreuk it would probably be as 'successful' as her last outing on the big screen, Street Fighter – The Legend of Chun Li. Check it out for giggles. The acting is THAT bad!
Tuesday, August 31, 2010 10:44AM
Lol. I wouldn't draw anyone's attention to Street Fighter – The Legend of Chun Li, especially not the casting director for the MI4 movie. You are hoping she gets the role, aren't you?!
