Lauren German, Paula Patton And Kristin Kreuk Testing For 'Mission: Impossible 4'

We now know that Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner will play the two primary agents in Paramount's upcoming Mission: Impossible 4. (Until we know what the final title of this new Mission: Impossible film will be, we're just going to call it Mission: Impossible 4. Hopefully that'll avoid confusion for the time being.)

There are obviously quite a few other parts to cast. As the studio gears up towards a fall shoot, we should soon start hearing a lot of other names being thrown around. For instance, there's also a female operative in the film and Deadline now reports that Lauren German (Hostel: Part II), Paula Patton (Precious) and Kristin Kreuk (Smallville) are testing for the role. If I had to put money down I'd go with Paula Patton, but since we don't know anything about the role other than 'female operative' (the easy guess: she dies) it's too early to make any realistic call on who'll get hired.
