‘M:I 3’ cast gets an overhaul
Former “Boston Public” star Michelle Monaghan has been added to the cast of “Mission: Impossible 3,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Monaghan will play the love interest of Tom Cruise’s character, secret agent Ethan Hunt.
Irish actor Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (“Bend It Like Beckham,” “Elvis”) is in negotiations for a role in the film.
Numerous delays in the J.J. Abrams-directed movie forced Scarlett Johanssen, Carrie-Ann Moss and Kenneth Branagh to drop out of the project.
Ving Rhames, who appeared in all three installments of the action franchise, will be back as Hunt’s sidekick Luther Stickel.
Recent reports linked teen star Lindsay Lohan and current Cruise girlfriend Katie Holmes to the film, but their involvement has not been confirmed.
“Mission: Impossible 3” will begin shooting in Caserta, Italy on July 18.
Michelle Monaghan appears in the upcoming Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie film, “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” which opens June 10.
