[ROBOCOP CPU001]

we will see..bond was still pulling massive numbers although the storys were rubbish..

[Mister Sinister]

No, I mean it's going to be a restart of the franchise.

[Hunter Rider]

Damn i figured this meant new news:mad: there's nothing to disscuss until an actor is signed

It's gonna be shot in prague and Africa
He will drive either an Aston Martin DB9:up: or some Fiat hatchback:down

yeah Bond had a bently to begin with!

hes been class all the way!

[mister Lennon]

Please, not more Bond movies. The franchise is dead, and its very hard to get something new in a character with more than 20 movies.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

^^^

Tell that to sherlock holmes...

[The Question]

The movies have sucked since Conery left.

[Hunter Rider]

The movies have sucked since Conery left.

I disagree,Moore had some decent outings and Goldeneye was perhaps the best of all the Bond movies,the last 3 Pierce did were less effective although TWINE was pretty good IMO

[mister Lennon]

I think that the franchise died with goldeneye. The other three brosnan movies sucked big time. But goldeneye wasnt the best bond movie, in any way. Goldfinger was better, spy who loved me was better.

Jackman Turns Down Bond

Source: The Age (http://www.theage.com.au/news/people/jackman-says-no/2005/08/15/1123957954893.html?oneclick=true) , Dark Horizons (http://www.darkhorizons.com/)
August 14, 2005



Our Aussie pals at Dark Horizons (http://www.darkhorizons.com/) have turned us on to a story in the latest issue of the Melbourne based newspaper, The Age (http://www.theage.com.au/news/people/jackman-says-no/2005/08/15/1123957954893.html?oneclick=true), which reports that Hugh "Wolverine" Jackman has turned down the opportunity to play Agent 007, James Bond (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10814#), in the next three films (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10814#).

He would only have been the second Australian to play the prestigious part after George Lazenby, who only appeared in one Bond film (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10814#), On Her Majesty's Secret Service back in 1969. According to The Age, Jackman, who was reportedly the frontrunner for the role, turned it down after talking with wife Deborah-Lee Furness, because he didn't feel that he needed to play Bond in order to boost his already high profile career.

[Mister Sinister]

I don't think he would have made that good a Bond.

[블라스]

1.- Ewan McGregor (if they want to go for a charming "young Roger Moore"-ish type of Bond) and Hugh Jackman (for a tough looking, Connery-like Bond) would both be excellent for Bond, so too bad Hugh turned it down.

2.- Bond drives a car to complete his missions, not to drop off his kids at soccer practice, so that car fails :down

3.- I hope they include the testicle beating scene. God, that must have sucked, poor Bond :(

[JLBats]

Bale for Bond:D:up:

[spider-jide]

edit

[블라스]

Ouch :(
Check this out:

"At one point Bond is tortured by having his genitals beaten. He spends three weeks in the hospital and is desperate to have sex with Vesper to prove that he still can function. This episode exposes the sexual insecurity that lies behind the misogyny. Significantly, Fleming uses the image of a parabola to describe both torture and seduction. There is a sexual pleasure at the end of torture when the body's capacity for pain has been exhausted. All these complexes seem like one of the expected probable outcomes of the British public school."[/QUOTE]

I hope they have the balls (heh) to include this in the movie.

In and out, in and out! When will those BOND producers make up their minds?


Ahoy, squirts! Quint (quint@aintitcool.com) here with another chapter in the cluster-**** that is the Bond franchise right now. It's gotten to the point that we have just been ignoring every Bond casting rumor, it was getting that ridiculous. I know I was thinking, "**** it! I'll just wait for the official announcement!" Well, this ain't an official announcement on who will be playing James Bond in the next film, but rather a confirmation of who won't be playing James Bond. I've always liked Brosnan in the role and hope whoever they have reloading his PPK is a worthy successor. Below is an email containing an Associated Press article where Brosnan confirms his official lay off from the series.



What the heck is wrong with these producers? They do the right thing and get the guy back in there for his 007 swan song....fans rejoice.....now this.....I'm so pissed..... The Associated Press

A single, surprising phone call and it was over. That's how Pierce Brosnan says he learned that his services as James Bond would no longer be required.

"One phone call, that's all it took!" the 52-year-old actor tells Entertainment Weekly magazine in its Aug. 19 issue.

Brosnan starred in four Bond films. He says that before they stopped negotiations, the producers had invited him back for a fifth time.

"You know, the movie career for me really started with Bond," says Brosnan, acknowledging that by the time "GoldenEye" premiered in 1995, he was already 42.

He then starred as 007 in "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997), "The World Is Not Enough" (1999) and "Die Another Day" (2002).

His departure from the role was a "titanic jolt to the system," says Brosnan, followed by "a great sense of calm."

"I thought ... I can do anything I want to do now. I'm not beholden to them or anyone. I'm not shackled by some contracted image. So there was a sense of liberation."

Brosnan says he's grateful to have had the role, but adds: "It never felt real to me. I never felt I had complete ownership over Bond. Because you'd have these stupid one-liners ? which I loathed ? and I always felt phony doing them."

He plays a foulmouthed, skirt-chasing hit man in the upcoming film "The Matador."

"(For this) to come on the heels of my departure from the world of Bond is sweet grace, to play this one as a farewell to that chapter in time ? it certainly wasn't planned."

[Dark Donnie]

At least we can end all the rumours of him coming back! :)

others i wouldn't mind seeing are Ewan Mcgregor and Julian Mcmahon,

[Everyman]

No, I mean it's going to be a restart of the franchise.

I don't think it's a good idea... A prequel, I was already skeptical (Bond works better as an established character), but a restart might modifie the character beyond recognition. Restart can be useful (Batman Begins), but James Bond as a character is fine as he is...

Mcmahon has been around the lists as a candidate for a while and he wants it,Ewan has been mentioned but unlike some of the others his career doesn't need it so he's probably less likely IMO

[Kevin Roegele]

Julian McMahon = not British = not James Bond.

I know he's from Oz and so was Lazenby.

Julian McMahon = not British = not James Bond.

well if you look at the recent list of the supposed final 4 non of them except the guy who's as old as Brosnan was british and Mcmahon is better than those options IMO

Bond has never been about acting. You need a really strong screen prescence, to hold everything else together. That's all it is - Connery, Moore, Brosnan coasting on their charisma and witty lines. Only Dalton tried to act the role, and audiences didn't appreciate it.

Agreed. The problem with the casting ideas so far is that I see none of the actors they want to cast having any charisma, or masculinity to play Bond.

Do your research, he's Irish.

Ireland is part of Britain or at least Northern Ireland is

[spider-jide]

England, N.Ireland, scotland and Wales = great britain.

[The Joker]

Ireland is part of Britain or at least Northern Ireland is

Yes but Brosnan is not from Northern Ireland.And it's only part of Northern Ireland that's british too.

Brosnan is 100% irish.

And in relation to the new Bond movie,I hope it's better than the pile of BS that Die another day was.

Goldfinger is still the definitive Bond movie to this day IMO.

[spider-jide]

Goldfinger is still the definitive Bond movie to this day IMO.

word.

[Steelsheen]

it sucks what they did to Brosnan. you'd think after 4 films with good returns they'd treat him a little better.

i was also hoping that Jackman would by our next Bond, but then the statement he released earlier this week has shot down that possibility.

Julian Mcmahon... hmm i havent considered him before, but yeah he does look the part and certainly has the potential of carry a franchise. he's did pretty well as Dr Doom.

[jaydawg]

Nothing can top Goldfinger. It established the tired and true formula of the films, way before Bond turned into a sharper image commercial.

[Mister Sinister]

The writer of Million Dollar Baby (i.e., the best picture of last year) is re-writing the story :D

[Everyman]

i know,i was just saying that Batman needed a restart..bond could have continued he just needed better stories and villians.

Agreed. That restart is a mistake, and could damage the character we know and love. Maybe a prequel could have been fine, but that's a big maybe.

Good news.

If they make it a James Bond 90210, realism will be thrown out of the window.

[Carmine Falcone]

I started reading the book yesterday. The beginning is a bit boring.

[The Trainman]

It gets better... wait 'till you get to the torture scene. Yikes!!!

[Carmine Falcone]

It gets better... wait 'till you get to the torture scene. Yikes!!!

Do you happen to know which chapter that is? And I just read some more and it gets better indeed.

[The Trainman]

Do you happen to know which chapter that is? And I just read some more and it gets better indeed.

Chapter 17 - 'MY DEAR BOY'...

It was a large bare room, sparsely furnished in cheap French art nouveau style. It was difficult...

[The Trainman]

It took me some time to find it since I haven't read it in ages. I just hope to God it stays true to the novel...

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

I still think its a mistake...the movie might be too serious for people who have grown up watching the movies we know and love...

but we will see....

For god sake bring back Brosnan...just adapt the story to make bond established instead of starting out on his first mission.

[Carmine Falcone]

The book is really getting good now.

[Carmine Falcone]

The torture scene is gruesome, what a bastard that Le Chiffre. :D Who should play him?

[Cain]

It's a real gamble trying to remake the film franchise again. Am I the only one who remembers the damage License To Kill caused?

Granted I'm a fan of the more low key Bond (Living Daylights, OHMSS) but people are so used to the video game like over the top Bond I think this will not make much money. Which will kill Bond for a while. But to be honest Bond does need a restart badly. It's just so sickeningly generic I don't know who anybody over 18 could enjoy Bond anymore. Brosnan was cast great but the movies they gave him were garbage. Except for Goldeneye.

I'm glad the guys who wrote James Bond On Ice aren't writing it anymore. I'm curious to know if they'll have the balls to make it a period piece. Or just update the books main narratives.

[Carmine Falcone]

Just finished reading it, great book. I hope they do it justice.

[TheVileOne]

I think its great they finally got rid of the hack writers that have done the last few Bond movies.

Its something I've been saying they needed to do with this flick for a long time.

[Everyman]

Brosnan on 007 & The Topkapi Affair

Source: EcranLarge.com (http://www.ecranlarge.com/news-cinema-1023.php)
September 3, 2005



EcranLarge.com (http://www.ecranlarge.com/news-cinema-1023.php) attended a press conference with The Matador (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=9777) star Pierce Brosnan at the 31st Deauville 2005 American Film Festival. He talked about both the James Bond rumors and his upcoming sequel to The Thomas Crown Affair:

While attending a press conference for the presentation of his new movie, The Matador, Pierce Brosnan was asked about the last months' rumours about his involvement in Casino Royale, the 21st James Bond movie, and also about the sequel to The Thomas Crown Affair:

"I won't be part of the next James Bond. I've already played the role five times and the character is now part of my past. Now, I want to take care about the movies Beau St. Clair and I are producing with our company Irish DreamTime (The Nephew, Evelyn, Laws of Attraction). All the rumours that have been going around for the last few months about me being part of Casino Royale or not are just rumours, nothing more.

Regarding The Thomas Crown Affair 2, entitled "The Topkapi Affair," the script is being written right now. Sony Pictures is really thrilled about this whole new affair that we expect to shoot in Istanbul."

[The Trainman]

UPDATE!

SOURCE: Click me! (http://www.mi6.co.uk/news/index.php?itemid=2769&catid=2)

This sucks! :down :mad:

Time is running out for James Bond. Filming of the next 007 movie, Casino Royale, is scheduled to start within 12 weeks but the makers have no script, no Miss Moneypenny and nobody to play Britain’s most enduring spy, writes John Harlow in The Times (UK).

Amy Pascal, chairman of Sony Pictures, which will be raising the £70m budget for the film, will this week convene a second 007 summit to pick a new Bond. The first, last year in a London club, ended in disarray.

Sony has told Eon, the British-based company that holds production rights to the Bond series, that it may have to postpone the film, according the report. Cinemas have already started booking it for October 19, 2006.

Many replacements for the ousted Pierce Brosnan, who played Bond in the past four movies, have been discussed, but so far all have failed to match up to the Irish actor.

Rejection can cut both ways. Everyone had agreed Clive Owen, 41, should play Bond, so director Martin Campbell offered him the role. But he turned it down, telling friends he finds Bond dated.

[Everyman]

They should not rush things. It seems that so far the project is pretty half-baked. And if they were making a prequel, why would they want to cast Clive Owen? At his gae, he cannot look like a beginner in the 00 section.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

I personaly don't think this is going to be a prequel.

[Everyman]

I personaly don't think this is going to be a prequel.

That's what they were saying not so long ago, that it was going to be a prequel. I think they just have no clue anymore about what to do. They turned the franchise into a joke in Die Another Day, and now they can't figure out how to get things right again.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

I read an interveiw with the writers,(before the paul haggis came in) they said they had changed quite alot of the book..I would assume to keep bond established.

Look, Martin Campbell is back which is definatly a good thing. He was the one who brought back life into a dead franchise and he can do it again.

Campbell back in is a good thing indeed, but he isn't the only element in the picture. So far, the production has been chaotic and if they ever decide NOT to make it a prequel, firing Brosnan was a huge mistake.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Might be the right idea...but why did they fire Brosnan then?


Because they are quite stupid!

Brosnan is the best thing to happen to bond since connery!

[Pulp Savage]

Bale for Bond Dammit!

[Darth Nata]

I would absolutely love Christian Bale to play Bond but sadly that isnt going to happen anytime soon.

If Bale did play Bond then Christopher Nolan would be my number one choice for director.

[spider-jide]

Bale would have been an awesome Bond but it aint gonna happen, unfortunately. If Bale ever did Bond, technically, he'd have a good 20 years of playing the character.

[Pulp Savage]

I know it won't happen, but I can dream can't I?

[Furious Styles]

MI6 is reporting that Pierce Brosnan WILL return as James Bond 007 in Casino Royale!!!!!!!!!

Pierce Brosnan Set For James Bond Return
12th September 2005

Expecting someone else? As the saying goes in Bond-lore, "never say never"!

The turf war over the casting of James Bond for the forthcoming movie "Casino Royale" is about to end. If the trade press reports are anything to go by, Sony, who took over MGM earlier in the year, have been turning down candidates for the "vacant" 007 role proposed by the producers right, left and centre.

The casting of 007 is down to four people: Amy Pascal (Sony), Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli (Eon Productions producers), and Martin Campbell (director of "Casino Royale"). Each party have had their favourites, and due to the much reported failure to find a suitable replacement by the producers, despite their wide reaching casting calls, Sony has come to the inevitable conclusion: if it's not broke, don't fix it.


Pierce Brosnan has been hinting to the media over the past few days that the situation has changed and he was willing to step back into the tuxedo for a fifth and final time - if the call from the producers came.

Following his `Editors Special Award` earlier this month, Brosnan gave an interview with GQ that revealed the true state of affairs.

On the subject of his pay demands for a fifth movie, which was over hyped and overblown by the tabloid press to a staggering figure of £20m ($35m USD), Brosnan set the record straight: "Twenty million? Oh no, rubbish. Oh for God's sake. Bollocks. No way. No, it was a handsome figure of maybe £10 million or something like that. Given what the films make it was a spit in the bucket. I wasn't being greedy. The age issue? Bollocks to that, too."

MI6 exclusively reported back in February that the figure Brosnan was allegedly asking for was actually £10m ($17m USD) - a figure now confirmed by Brosnan himself and not that staggering considering he was reportedly paid around $16.5m USD (~£10m) for "Die Another Day". The "too old" rumours which first started in the tabloid press and internet sites back in February 2004 have also been quashed many times.

So what do Sony think about their newly acquired franchise being stalled due to the vacant lead role?

Brosnan candidly explained, "Sony are pulling their hair out over it, apparently. I was in their offices just a few weeks ago pitching Thomas Crown 2. They said, "come back" and I said "it's not up to me, guys."

"I think I was caught up between the egos of the producers and the studios, really. They (the producers) didn't know whether to go younger, they didn't know what to do, period. I don't know what the truth is. It could be as honest as that, but it seems strange, especially as each film made more and more money."


But Eon Producers have been silent on the whole affair ever since the first headlines speculated that Brosnan's tenure as 007 was over. "Maybe it's all a big, clever ploy just to bang the drum. We've seen it over the years with Sean and Roger" said Brosnan in the GQ interview.

Latest News
MI6 has learned that Pierce Brosnan is now the top contender for the role of James Bond in "Casino Royale" after all, due to studio pressure and the lack of an obvious candidate to replace him. No date has been set for an official announcement on the role, but news it imminent.

The major shooting location for "Casino Royale" will move to an Atlantic island off the east coast of the USA, and not South Africa as originally planned. Pre-production is on schedule and filming is still set to commence in early January 2006.

http://www.mi6.co.uk/sections/articles/bond_21_brosnan_back.php3?t=bond21&s=bond21

[JLBats]

Brosnan rocks, but really I'd like some fresh blood.

BALE DAMMIT!

Or somebody like him.

[Everyman]

If Brosnan is back, that's good enws. So is the fact that the prequel idea will probably be forgotten too. WHo knows, maybe he will be the first Bond to leave on a high note? Presuming that the film is good of course...

[Movies205]

Awesome, I've always thought Bond made an awesome Bond :up:

[Hunter Rider]

Welcome back Pierce:up: Thank god after all those ****ty suggestions the man is back and he deserves a chance to go out on a high

[#1Batmanfan]

Heck Ya Pierce Is The Man !!!

[spider-jide]

This is good news, I just hope he doesn't look too old and tired. I want him to look the way he did in the world id not enough.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

This is from the grape vine..lets wait for the official word.

[The Joker]

This is good news, I just hope he doesn't look too old and tired. I want him to look the way he did in the world id not enough.

Agreed.

Remember the state of Roger Moore in 'A view to a kill'??? Him and Moneypenny were as old as the hills.I was thinking that was supposed to be a sophisticated secret agent babe magnet???

I really hope Pierce is returning.He deserves to do one more :up:

Paul Haggis on Casino Royale

September 17, 2005



Oscar-nominated writer Paul Haggis (Million Dollar Baby (http://comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=11235#), Crash) was recently hired to rewrite Casino Royale (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=7303), Sony (http://comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=11235#) and MGM's 21st installment of the James Bond (http://comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=11235#) franchise. The Hollywood Reporter (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/columns/risky_business_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=10011380 97) talked to Haggis in Toronto about what the film will be like.

"It's going to be good," Haggis said. "We're trying to reinvent Bond. He's 28: no Q, no gadgets." The movie's script is based on the 1953 Ian Fleming novel.

Martin Campbell (GoldenEye, The Legend of Zorro) will direct his second 007 film. Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who wrote Bond films The World is Not Enough (http://comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=11235#) and Die Another Day (http://comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=11235#), wrote the previous draft.

Haggis adapted James Bradley's World War II book Flags of Our Fathers for director Clint Eastwood, currently filming in Iceland. Director Tony Goldwyn is editing Haggis' romantic comedy script The Last Kiss and Haggis is set to direct New Line Cinema's Honeymoon With Harry.

He is also working on Warner Bros. Pictures' military true story Death and Dishonor, based on a Playboy investigative piece about a career officer's search for his soldier son, who went missing on his way home from the front lines of Baghdad. "Hopefully, Clint will star," he says.

"Die Another Day" is not a bang....it's not even considered to be close to a bang.:o

"It's going to be good," Haggis said. "We're trying to reinvent Bond. He's 28: no Q, no gadgets." The movie's script is based on the 1953 Ian Fleming novel.

Martin Campbell (GoldenEye, The Legend of Zorro) will direct his second 007 film. Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who wrote Bond films The World is Not Enough (http://comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=11235#) and Die Another Day (http://comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=11235#), wrote the previous draft.

Haggis adapted James Bradley's World War II book Flags of Our Fathers for director Clint Eastwood, currently filming in Iceland. Director Tony Goldwyn is editing Haggis' romantic comedy script The Last Kiss and Haggis is set to direct New Line Cinema's Honeymoon With Harry.

He is also working on Warner Bros. Pictures' military true story Death and Dishonor, based on a Playboy investigative piece about a career officer's search for his soldier son, who went missing on his way home from the front lines of Baghdad. "Hopefully, Clint will star," he says.

So it's a prequel after all? Therefore no Brosnan. This is getting more and more confusing. I doubt they know where they are going...

[JLBats]

Die Another Day had a great first half, then it totally lost it.

[Everyman]

Die Another Day had a great first half, then it totally lost it.

Not even that. I think it was good until he got free, and even then, there was that stupid bullet time effect at the very beginning!

[Mister Sinister]

Back in the news with Daniel Craig tipped to be Bond in MGM's announcement tomorrow.

[Furious Styles]

I could forgive the bullet time effect and Madonna's overly produced-techno theme song. IMHO, the first 20 to 30 minutes of Die Another Day were pretty decent. And it seemed like we were going to get a hard edged LTK type movie this time around. They actually showed James Bond captured and tortured, they brought back Judi Dench's ballsy M who cared little for Bond, but then it pretty much went downhill from there.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if Casino Royale with Daniel Craig does not do well at the BO or well enough as the Brosnan films, SONY makes EON bring Pierce Brosnan back for the next Bond film, regardless of the contractual obligations to Craig.

[Mister Sinister]

And Daniel Craig IS James Bond!

[Carmine Falcone]

But who will play Le Chiffre?

[neobido9999]

PLEase be GOOD! Don't pander and chuck in loads of explosions, use the story, use CHARACTERS and no prodcut placement.

This has a lot of potential, but i've got a very strong feeling the producer morons (Michael thingy and Brocolli) will try to make it confrom to the rest of the series.

[Carmine Falcone]

I hope they keep the part in which those guys with the straw hats accidentally blow theselves op and their blood rains down on James

Well, for once M should care about Bond. He is the best 00 agent, and he probably costed a lot of Her Majesty's money. That they let him rot for a year and a half in a North Korean prison is ridiculous. And that Bond never tries toe scape is also ridiculous.

How hell he supposes escape when he didn't have anything? Agents do get court. They beaten him up so badly that you don’t think about escape, unless he used his nails to scratch the prison wall or something.

We are talking about James Bond here, in a year and a half, he could have tried something. And anyway, why didn't they try to get him out earlier? Come on, a 00 agent must be expensive, and Bond is the best, letting him rot there was ridiculous and out of character from M (or the whole MI6).

[Carmine Falcone]

They wont and the torture scene will be toned down a lot

They probably will :marv:

[Tojo]

In the novel Bond is not 28. He's around 33. And given that Craig has been cast then Haggis is talking out of his ass.


This is about Bonds 3rd yr in the Secret Service, but probably only his first 'major' mission. At the start of Casino Royale he's only killed 2 people before. This is NOT a prequel OR a re-boot. Notice that there is absolutley no continuity in bond movies ijn the first place. This is just an area that hasn't been explored yet.

In Casino Royale Bond is a very different person than you will have seen. He's vulnerable and raw and makes alot of mistakes. He's a little confused about his job and has a hard time coming to terms with the morals, or lack of, which his job requires. Anyhow, he falls in love with Vesper and is essentially betrayed by her. This turns him into the cold, ruthless bastard he is today.

As for Q, he makes no appearance in the novel, nor does Monneypenny. They won't be in the movie unless re-writes happen. Gadgets will be in the film, but toned down(no farkin' invisible car). M will make an ppearance. I wish Dench was sacked so that Michael gambon could take over.

All in all, this film should kick ass. Character driven with depth. It'll touch issues of Bond not even the Connery films did.

[Carmine Falcone]

I'm not a sexist but I would like to see a male M again...:o

[Tojo]

I'm not a sexist but I would like to see a male M again...:o

I am sexist and i would love to see a male M in the form of Michael Gambon.

[Carmine Falcone]

:p

Michael Gambon would be very cool as M...

I'm curious who are gonna play:

Felix Leither
Vesper
LE CHIFFRE

[DBM]

While Craig isn't the person I would have picked, I still have high hopes for this movie.

My biggest hope is that they don't end Casino Royale with a cheesy one-liner or a love scene.

I want it to end with "The ***** is dead now," like the book.

[Carmine Falcone]

Royale Rumblings
Bond girl buzz builds.
by Stax (ff_mail@ign.com)




November 1, 2005 - Both CommanderBond.net (http://commanderbond.net/Public/Stories/2986-1.shtml) and MI6 (http://www.mi6.co.uk/news/index.php?itemid=2966) inform us that Belgian-born actress Cécile de France (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0208426/) (High Tension, Around the World in 80 Days) may be in the running to play Bond girl Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale (http://filmforce.ign.com/objects/055/055899.html).

The rumors stem from a report at Dark Horizons (http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/051017i.php) a few weeks back. Now the IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381061/) lists de France on their Casino Royale page. Obviously, nothing conclusive can be drawn from either of these but de France, 30, seems like the right type for the role of Vesper.

According to ITN (http://www.itn.co.uk/news/360801.html), another rumored Bond girl contender is 23-year-old British singer-actress Billie Piper (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0684877/). Her credits include The Calcium Kid and the TV miniseries version of The Canterbury Tales. She most recently appeared as Rose Tyler on the new Dr. Who (http://filmforce.ign.com/objects/033/033753.html) series.

Meanwhile, Indian thesp Gulshan Grover (http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/655/655299p1.html) insists that he's not yet out of the running for the role of the villain in Casino Royale, despite recent reports (http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/662/662154p1.html) that his candidacy had been overstated. The actor informed the Hindustan Times (http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1534009,00110003.htm), "I met senior representatives of the casting agency for Casino Royale in Los Angeles. ... The confirmation will take a while in coming."

About that torture scene in Casino Royale ... Cecile De France gets bloody in High Tension.
http://media.ign.com/ign/image/pixy.gif
Grover has denied claims of self-promotion. "Newspapers in the U.K. started it. All I told them was that it would be a great honour for me and my country if I did indeed land the role."

[Carter]

Just watched High Tension yesterday.
Very creepy.
I'm not sure she's exactly what a Bond girl should look like. I mean, yeah she's got nice gunzagas but she's got this whole butch lesbo thing going on.

[Everyman]

Cécile de France would be a great casting. She is a pretty good actress, and not very well known, and not too young either (I'M tired of those Lolita Bond girls). I really liked her in L'Auberge espagnole.

[Antonello Blueberry]

I think they are looking for young Italian actors, too. A friend of mine just called saying his agent is trying to get him an audition for a small role.

[블라스]

I thought Monique (her character in ATWI80D) was adorable.
I kinda have a crush on her :confused:

[regwec]

http://www.mi6.co.uk/news/index.php?itemid=3009 Well, Cassandra Hepburn is now in the rumour mill. I've never seen her in anything, but she is certainly beautiful.

[블라스]

Beautiful?

More like "super hot" :confused:

What's the difference?

[블라스]

What's the difference?

Not sure :confused:

[Furious Styles]

Did anyone see Paul Haggis on The Craig Furgoson (sp?) show. That was brtual. Craig basically asked him about Casino Royale. Craig was like "so is there going to be any gadgets?" and Paul was like, "no." And then Craig is like "huh, what the hell, no gadgets? There has to BE gadgets!!!!"

Then Paul is like, "as you know Daniel Craig is the new James Bond." LOL There was no reaction from the crowd, you could hear a pin drop and Craig didn't even care he started talking about Sean Connery.

[Hunter Rider]

Ouch!

[Golgo-13]

I'm not looking forward to this movie ever since the casting of Craig was annnounced but hey, i'm still a Bond fan so i'll give it a shot.

I'm still up for Indira Varma (Hbo's-Rome, Kama Sutra) playing a future Bond girl, she's smoking hot and can act. Plus there hasn't been too many ethnic Bond girls over the years (except in Die another Day, Moonraker, License to Kill and a few others) I don't know about you guys but i'm getting tired of the 'white girls' myself. Bond is a globe trotter, which means he encounters women of ALL races. Let's get an Ethiopian Bond soooner or later MGM!;)

What are you talking about?? You just said there aren't that many ethnic chicks yet you just named a few movies with them:confused: and on top of that, Bond has had his fair share of ethnic chicks. Ranging from Oriental to black to asian and back again, sure more would be nice as you said he's a globe trotter but to be fair, ethnic chicks dont get shunned.

[spider-jide]

Personally I'm glad to see Judi Dench is back

Is she??

I thought they were restarting the franchise?
Anyway, I wonder if Felix Lieter's in this movie and for the love of God, I hope they bring back the original Bond theme tune and not some techno scratch crappy rendition.:up:

[swifty]

Personally I'm glad to see Judi Dench is back


yes, me too!!!! she's the best M. Although!!! I thought this was a restart....so how can Dench be in it? I hope they keep John Gleese as Q, he was perfectly cast for the role!!!!

[swifty]

i have a bad feeling that Daniel Craig is going to ruin things!!!!
We're going to have the very first blonde 007 (Roger Moore's brown hair doesn't count)!!!! :rolleyes:

I'm kind of glad that they got Dench back for M because it means it's not going be a prequel, but if it means there still going do a prequel but with Dench, then that'll suck.

Dench to Return for Casino Royale
Source: Empire Online November 24, 2005


Empire Online caught up with Mrs. Henderson Presents star Judi Dench who confirmed that she'll return in the role of M in the 21st James Bond installment, Casino Royale.

"Yes of course. And I heard today that I'm not going to be in London. I'm going to get to go to Prague and The Bahamas," she said. "They're getting me out of my box. It's a whole film there. I'm very much looking forward to working with Daniel, but I've not even read a script yet. All I know is that we're due to start in February."

It will be interesting to see how she'll again play M, since this film takes place much earlier in 007's career. Daniel Craig is taking over the role of Bond in the movie, to be directed by Martin Campbell (GoldenEye) for a November 17, 2006 release.

Dench has played M in the last four Bond movies opposite Pierce Brosnan.

http://comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=12124

[regwec]

This is all very strange. Martin Campbell has repeatedly stated that his Casino Royale will tell the story of the very beginning of James Bond's '00' career. And yet we have Judi Dench returning to play the 'M' who is categorically said to have replaced the male 'M' we knew before Goldeneye. Either the production is in total disarray, or someone here isn't telling the truth.

I'm hoping they've gone and scrapped the idea of doing a restart, a character study of bond will ruin the character, the great thing about Bond is you don't need character development it's all about the story, the mystery, the thrill of it all.

[Two-Face]

You are either gay as ****, or as blind as a bat!

http://www.bharatstars.com/files/5012/thm_Indira1.jpg

This picture is much better other one you posted. I'm blind as bat then.

[Octoberist]

They don't need to make it into a prequel.

Like what someone here said, James Bond is like Bart and Lisa Simpson. They never age, yet they progress through real time and events like the rest of us. I've always had the notion it's just "Don't ask, Don't tell" policy of Bond's imortality.

But a prequel could ruin that factor, esp it's giving a very specific time in his life. Because of that, what about SPECTRE and the Soviet Union?

[regwec]

I understand that, but I am responding to Campbell's suggestion that the film would be a prequal.

[SaxtonTemple]

With Judy Dench as M they're just going with the ol' suspension of disbelief story.
But why do we need Judy Dench at all? Why a female M when we don#t have a Q at all?

[Timstuff]

OK, this is really jumbled. Either they're going to take the story of Casino Royale, which is supposed to be Bond's first story, and move it into the future with a pre-establish Bond so they can keep Judi Dench and John Cleese (which would be retarded, so why even call it Casino Royale?), or they're going to make it be a prequel, but for some reason we still have the same M as the recent movies and (hopefully) John Cleese as Q. This sounds like a complete jumble, even by James Bond standards. I know that the movies with different actors aren't really supposed to hold continuity with eachother (heck, they downright can't), but you'd think they could at least try to suspend our dis-belief a little.

I have a feeling that Bond is going to take a nap for a few years after this movie, much like he did between the Dalton films and the Brosnan ones. The whole production just sounds so ham-fisted that I don't see how it can do anything but damage the franchise even more.

[spider-jide]

But isn't Q in the casino royale novel? I'm sure I read something breif about him when reading it.

[MaskedManJRK]

Maybe Dench is playing a lower level than M? From what I've saw of Goldeneye, she was in there before she was bumped up to the position.

[Everyman]

I am getting really worried too. Bond has never been really strong on continuity, but they tried to keep some consistency (Bond is a widower, for example) and the prequel or reboot idea (I am not sure which route them want to take) sort of jeopardizes this... The fictitious country backing up a terrorist group is another big mistake.

[Movies205]

I have a feeling that Bond is going to take a nap for a few years after this movie, much like he did between the Dalton films and the Brosnan ones. The whole production just sounds so ham-fisted that I don't see how it can do anything but damage the franchise even more.

Bah it'll work out fine except rustle the feathers of us fans. People aren't going to give a **** if they decide to go the prequel route and Dench is there as long as it's good. But they might care that Brosnan isn't there see the difference between Begins and this situation is that the Bond Franchise hasn't failed except the fans hate it but each movie has made a **** load of money while Batman and Robin was universally panned BY EVERYONE. So that's what it has working against it which is the shadow of Brosnon and it doesn't help that he's running his mouth about it in magazines.

Also you seem to imply that the nap inbetween Licence to Kill(1989) and Goldeneye(1995) was intentional, whether this allusion was intentional or not I don't know but this was not the case. A law suit between the producers and Kevin McClory(i believe, correct me if I'm wrong) put a block on any James Bond movies being made till finally it was cleared up and they started work on Goldeneye. Timothy Dalton decided not to reprise his role as James Bond since he felt too much time had passed hence why Goldeneye has a Timothy Dalton feel to it.

[Furious Styles]

The actual reason there was such a large gap between LTK ('89) and GE ('95) was because there were problems between Cubby and MGM/UA.

The whole issue started when MGM/UA low-balled the marketing of LTK. They scrapped Bob Peak's original artwork (which was much more in the vein of the other Bond posters) for some garbage, every other day poster. You'll know what I mean if you google the original LTK posters. Then they demanded the title be changed from "Licence Revoked" to "Licence To Kill" becuase they believed the American audience didn't understand the word "Revoked."

Needless to say, the movie tanked thanks to bad marketing, bad writing and an unimpressed audience. But Dalton was still slated to return as Bond in "The Property Of A Lady." It would go into production and hit theatres around 1991 or 1992. Although at the time, both Bond and MGM were a sinking ship.

To cut it short and sweet, there was a proposed merger between MGM and Pathe Communications. Paretti, the guy who ran Pathe was a corrupt businessman and tried to sell the television rights to Bond to help with his finances. Cubby was PISSED and felt the Bond franchise had been low-balled. After alot of legal issues and battles which lasted 3 or 4 years, MGM/UA was once again MGM/UA and gained back the Bond franchise.

Even then though, the next Bond film went through many script changes and rewrties, especially after True Lies came out with Schwarzenegger, which had similar action sequences.

Regardless though, it was thought of at the time that even though Cubby had left it up to Dalton to return or not, the big boys at MGM were admamant a new Bond be chosen. So Dalton bowed out gracefully, enter Pierce Brosnan and the rest is history.

yep!!! He refuses to dye his hair black for the role!!!! What an arrogant bastard!!!!

[regwec]

No he hasn't. In the most recent interview, he replied "wait and see" when asked that question. It is sometimes fun to mix fact with opinion.

[spider-jide]

Well, If Craig looks the way he did in that promo shot of him as 007 holding a gun, I'm cool with that appearance.

[Octoberist]

There's a rumor on filmforce.ign.com that the producers want to change the main villian into a middle eastern "Bin Laden" like villian.

Why even call it Casino Royale. I mean, sure you can't have the Cold War/Soviet references there (I mean, you can if it's done right..like a neo Soviet group), but this is silly.

Hopfully, it REMAINS a rumor.

From NightFire to Casino Royale?
The latest Bond girl buzz!
by Stax


December 1, 2005 - According to the German site T-Online, Aussie actress Kimberley Davies is in the running to be the next Bond girl in Casino Royale. The 32-year-old blonde bombshell was a regular on the Oz soap opera Neighbours.



She has also appeared in Jon Favreau's film Made and the TV retelling of South Pacific. Or perhaps you know her from Operation Wolverine: Seconds to Spare, opposite Antonio Sabato?




Kimberley Davies

Davies is already familiar to 007 fans for her role as Bond girl Alura McCall in the videogame NightFire. She recently left the U.K. TV series I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! after injuring herself, according to Channel 4.

Thanks to MI6 for the heads-up!

Casino Royale - 29-12-05
Bond Girl rumour #10: Naomi Watts reportedly chased by producers

MEDIA RUMOUR
According to the "ever reliable" The Sun (UK), King Kong heroine Naomi Watts "has sent James Bond bosses bananas — and they want her in the new 007 film", claims the paper.

The report goes on, "producers were bowled over by her performance in the Peter Jackson hit. Now they are desperate to land the British-born Aussie as leading lady for new Bond Daniel Craig."

http://www.mi6.co.uk/livenews/images/naomi_watts1.jpg

According to The Sun, Naomi, 37, "has already had a phone call from Bond team Eon Productions inviting her to be Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale. They want her to do a screen test in the New Year."

http://www.mi6.co.uk/livenews/images/naomi_watts2.jpg

I don't belive report from newspapers like "The Sun" but Naomi Watts would be great Bondgirl in my opinion.

Just yet another rumor, with another flavour of the month. At least Watts is a good actress, and not a lolita, but she is still too well known.

A couple of new stories circling the Net.

Bond ambition: 007 gets face lift
Gritty 'Casino Royale' hopes to cash in with younger auds as producers adjust to new studio

By NICOLE LAPORTE

"His teeth are fine, his driving is fine, he doesn't have heat rash and he's not afraid of the water."
That's producer Barbara Broccoli's assessment of the new James Bond. If she sounds prickly, you can't blame her. Tabloid reports that 007 thesp Daniel Craig has been taking a beating on the set of "Casino Royale," the Martin Campbell-helmed Bond pic due out in November from MGM/Sony, have rained down on the production almost from the first day of shooting.

Dealing with around-the-clock Bond gossip -- of which Broccoli says, "We're aware of it, but it doesn't mean anything to us" -- is just one challenge facing Broccoli and her producing partner Michael G. Wilson. It's also a challenge for Sony, which inherited Bond from MGM last year in the hopes that the 007 franchise can become a cornerstone of its release slate on par with "Spider-Man."

James Bond is famously one of the most idiosyncratic properties around. What other franchise has producers who own a controlling stake, or has a 20-film legacy that must be simultaneously preserved and updated?

And Bond is at a critical juncture in its history. Despite all the goodwill toward Pierce Brosnan, who starred in the last four Bond pics, Craig -- the first "blond Bond" -- was selected for "Casino Royale" to give the film a grittier, 21st century feel. (There is much hearsay as to why Brosnan wasn't rehired; some say the problem was his $25 million and 5% gross asking price. No one but the producers have ever gotten gross points on Bond pics.)

The $100 million-plus "Casino Royale," which is the story of Bond's first mission, is not being touted as a special effects or "gadgets" pic -- something that some consider the very essence of Bond.

"There will still be effects, but they won't be obvious to the audience," Wilson says. "We have great action sequences, a lot of things blowing up ... but not space effects or things disappearing or invisible cars."

All this is being tackled by Broccoli and Wilson -- known as being extremely detail-oriented and hands-on producers -- and by Columbia Pictures topper Amy Pascal.

All are working together for the first time. Leaning on Campbell and screenwriter Paul Haggis, the trio is trying to contemporize the franchise and grow its audience in a younger direction.

The move is pre-emptive considering that Bond isn't exactly suffering. The last few pics have each made between $350 million and $450 million worldwide, not to mention lucrative homevideo returns. But Bond has faced fresh-faced competition from films such as "The Bourne Identity" and "XXX."

In the videogame world, Bond has become one of the best known and most lucrative franchises in the biz ever since Nintendo's hit game "GoldenEye" in 1997. Industry giant Electronic Arts took the franchise in 1999 and has been releasing approximately one "Bond" game per year ever since. In 2003, EA signed a seven-year extension of its deal with MGM that's believed to be worth around $50 million. Not all the titles have been as successful as the first, but Sony and MGM certainly can't be upset that EA's efforts have kept Bond alive in the minds of a new generation of gamers and potential moviegoers.

As to the newly forged partnership with Sony, Broccoli says the team has come to "happy agreements" on all Bond matters, and that "all casting and director decisions were made with Amy.... The script and everything."

Sources familiar with the producers' arrangement at MGM say so long as Broccoli and Wilson stayed within the budget the studio had approved, they had the right to make all creative decisions, including casting and script, but that they never invoked that clause, instead opting to include the studio in the filmmaking process.

Presumably, the situation is the same at Sony, but neither the studio nor the producers would comment, saying only that the working relationship between the two parties has been collaborative.

The Bond producers' deal dates back to 1961, when it was forged between Albert "Cubby" Broccoli and United Artists. Back then, UA operated mainly as a marketing and distributing company, providing the producers with an enormous amount of autonomy.

As for the producers' financial arrangement, people with knowledge of the deal say they do not put up money for P&A, but receive gross points as well as an upfrontupfront fee. Most contract deals and legal work are done through Eon Productions (the U.K.-based production shingleshingle that owns the Bond production rights), costs that are put on the film's budget and then reimbursed.

Wilson characterizes the Sony partnership as "collegial." "We're all headed in the same direction. The idea that someone throws down the gauntlet--- it never comes to that."

Yet Broccoli does admit that, "We're all very strong-minded individuals," and people close to the film say there have been lively negotiations. Sources say Broccoli was the most passionate about hiring Craig (Sony initially pushed for Clive Owen), although Pascal now waxes adoringly over the blue-eyed "Layer Cake" star and is said to be looking to cast him in another Sony pic.

And while the studio pushed for A-list leading ladies, such as Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron, who turned the role down (not surprisingly, considering the no gross points rule), the producers insisted on less- expensive, lesser-known thesps who wouldn't overshadow Bond. A compromise was reached in Eva Green, a thesp with international cred (she's French) who starred in the steamy NC-17 Bertolucci pic "The Dreamers."

International box office is hardly an afterthought when it comes to Bond pics, which tend to do almost twice as well overseas as in the U.S. Even Campbell has foreign cred -- he's a Kiwi.

Somewhat ironically, considering that Bond is perhaps the most macho franchise of all time, Broccoli points out that women are calling a lot of the shots.

"I'm glad to be working with a woman executive," she says of Pascal. "It's nice for me."

Most recently, the Bond producers worked with former MGM chairman Alex Yemenidjian and vice chairman Chris McGurk.

As on all Bond pics, the production schedule for "Casino Royale" is brisk. Shooting began Jan. 30 in Prague and will wrap this summer in order to have the pic in theaters Nov. 17. Things were unusually close to the wire on this pic, and Green was cast two weeks into shooting.

The short schedule puts added pressure on Sony marketers, who were in the Bahamas (where the pic is now shooting) as early as last week gathering material for a "Casino Royale" teaser trailer.

Not that raising awareness is a big dilemma when it comes to Bond. "You have an incredible advantage with the franchise because you know what it is," Pascal says.

Wilson says the short schedule is cost-efficient. "It saves money," he says. "There's less time to fiddle in post-production. If you know what you're doing, you know what's right, having a short post is great."

People who have worked on previous Bond films say production is also beholden to licensing deals, some of which operate according to a time frame due to product launch dates, though the Bond producers downplay this notion. For "Casino Royale" cross-promotional deals were made with Ford (the Bond car is an Aston Martin DBS prototype), Taittinger champagne and Sony Electronics, among others.

As for the ruckus over Craig, Broccoli says she's used to being scrutinized by the press and sensitive fans.

"There's always a heightened interest in Bond, and every time we recast the role there's even more. (When Brosnan took over the role from Timothy Dalton, there was similar outrage.)

"It's just in keeping with what we've been experiencing."

(Ben Fritz contributed to this report.)

Judi: Craig ace as Bond

by EMILY SMITH

DAME Judi Dench has blasted critics of new James Bond star Daniel Craig as “despicable”.

The actress, who plays spymaster M in new film Casino Royale, said Craig had been cruelly targeted.

Fans called him “ugly” — and Judi said their website call to bring back Pierce Brosnan had left Craig devastated.

At an LA party before last night’s Oscars, Judi, 71, said: “I hate how people have been attacking Daniel Craig. It’s despicable and it disgusts me.

“I have filmed with him in Prague and the Bahamas and he is a fine actor. He brings something new and edgy to the role.”

Judi, nominated for an Oscar for her role in Brit movie Mrs Henderson Presents, called Craig, 38, “a hunk”.

Some fans claim Craig — seen recently on the beach in tight trunks — lacks the presence to be a credible 007.

But Judi added: “His critics will be proved wrong.”

[Carter]

Pfft, when you need Judi Dench to call you a hunk.....

[regwec]

Why is her opinion less valid than anyone else's?

[Mentok]

Because she is old? or english?

[Darthphere]

I think the fact that theyre both really good friends off set before all of this kinda voids her comments more than any other reason.

"My that Danny Criag is quite the young whippersnapper. He reminds me of an English Clark Gable with those wonderful, majestic ears"
