Keri Russell... Mission Impossible 3?

Okay, this is getting old. Who the hell will get signed already?? Right after Lohan was bargaining the role in Mission Impossible III...Abrams reveals he'd like "Felicity" star Keri Russell to play the part. He says, "There is a role that I think Keri would be spectacular for, but there's a process I must go through." Keri Russell? What on earth has she been doing anyway? I thought she retired.
