The female lead for MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 3 being saught after

Bookmark: Digg Bookmark del.icio.us Bookmark Technorati Bookmark Furl Bookmark
Mission Impossible 3: Our friends at FilmJerk have slighty unraveled some of the mystery about what kind of characters to expect in the 3rd Mission Impossible film. Below are some details about what to expect from the female lead:

The character is described as a natural American beauty and endowed with grace, warmth and vulnerability. She is exceedingly intelligent with a compelling presence and a great, disarming sense of humor. Leah has had extensive training with the IMF (Impossible Mission Force), starting her training with the agency right out of school. She has extensive experience for someone her age, a force to be considered with, as she can instantly turn into a person of steely resolve and toughness.

The ideal actress being sought would be between 24 and 36 years old, and in keeping with the casting of Thandie Newton in the previous installment, could be a person of diverse ethnicity. Producers and casting agents are looking for a facile, confident and skilled actress with a significant depth of range, and should have a "perfect American accent" if she is not American. While previously rumored actresses Jennifer Lopez and Kelly Brook both would fit within these character traits, no actress has been signed for the role and this casting info indicates that both will not be a part of this project.
