Some time has passed since we reported the announcement of Brad Bird as director of the next Mission Impossible film with JJ Abrams now producing. Comingsoon has confirmation via Paramount Pictures that Jeremy Renner has been cast to star alongside Tom Cruise in the next instalment.

 No details have been given regarding the type of role that Renner is likely to have in the film, it comes following the recent announcement of his casting in the role of Hawkeye for the ‘Avengers’ film and a strong performance delivered in 2008’s ‘The Hurt Locker’. Renner will be next appearing on our screens in the Ben Affleck directed film ‘The Town’ due for release in Australia on the 14th October.

 Mission Impossible IV is currently scheduled for release late in 2011.

Leith spent most of his formative years growing up on the coastal fringes of Western Australia without a cinema in sight. There he grew up on the wonders of home rentals before relocating to Perth and gaining access to a proper cinematic experience just in time for the Star Wars Special Edition re-releases. From there Leith's love of movies expanded to volunteering on a Star Wars fan film, reviewing films, writing about film news, and attending film and pop-culture related conventions on the other side of the world. Leith's favourite films are too many to mention but all start with the Star Wars saga, Back to the Future, the Dark Knight trilogy, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings and all things Kevin Smith. With an insatiable appetite for all things pop-culture related Leith also has an unhealthy addiction to the world of comics and can often be found buried under a pile of unread back issues madly trying to catch up on a number of titles coming out from mostly DC and Darkhorse.
