Mission: Impossible’s Paula Patton to star in gunrunning cartel pilot for ABC
Paula Patton has signed on for a new ABC project that’s like Traffic, but with guns, according to Deadline. In Runner, one of a handful of dramas ABC has picked up this season, Patton plays Lauren Marks, a woman who thinks her husband died in a plane crash—until she learns that he is not only alive, but is traveling with a mystery woman who has assumed Lauren’s identity. This being a TV show and all, this revelation leads Lauren down a rabbit hole of secrets, lies, and eventually Mexican gunrunning.
