I wouldn't mind that. He'd make an interesting-looking Bond villain, as Bardem was. Good actor, too.

I just hope the character is engaging, above all. Not just another black guy playing an African arms dealer or drug lord. It gets a little boring after a while.

An actor or actress gets showered with praise for a role, and suddenly every director under the sun wants them for their name-power.

If it turns out to be a good character, then that's some justification, but it shouldn't just be because they're the flavour of the month.

And fair enough - it may be that he's a really good actor (12 Years is on my rental list), but I reserve that scepticism.

Read an interview with Walken recently in which he mentioned that he had a conversation with Roger Moore during the making of AVTAK about how he'd played a lot of characters who had met onscreen ends, about which Moore wistfully asked 'What's that like?' ... a consequence of Moore's continual casting in leading man/hero parts who tended to make it to the end of the movie still alive.

Apparently several Scandinavian actresses are being screentested for a role in Bond 24, all of them blondes. According to The Wrap, the producers are looking for a 'Scandinavian with a troubled past who will serve as a brief love interest for Bond.'

Here they are:

Ingrid Bolsø Berdal (34)

Second to last picture should seal that casting deal.

Also, only a brief love interest? They're really trying something different with this one, huh? ;)

Watch "The Man Who Haunted Himself". Moore dies...sort of.

I also have a soft-spot for "Gold".

Writing duo Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are back on 007 duty as they take over the Bond 24 script from John Logan...

This is curious. I don't mind, they've done well with CASINO ROYALE and SKYFALL to make me welcome them back.

Yes, Skyfall did so well that I couldn't ignore the plot holes even while watching the film for the first time.

I'm prepared for more of the bloody same.

Maybe this time, it'll be ... emotional?

You appear with the tedious inevitability of an unloved season.

You talk and you talk but you have no... oh wait.

Damn right, Sharky. I know they were trying to stick to the book as much as possible in CR, but Bond beating the living shit out of Le Chiffre would still have been deeply satisfying.

Bond 24 to shoot in Rome?

Luciano Sovena, president of Roma Lazio Film Commission, said:

"I met with the producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson and we discussed the project. One of the highlight scenes, among the most spectacular in the movie, will be a car chase in Via Quattro Fontane. They point us much, I'm already excited. I hope that streamlines common procedures for granting permits. It would be a shame to miss this great opportunity because of the bureaucracy. "And he added:" Hosting the epic film 007 is part of the strategy of Roma Lazio Film Commission that it intends to attract large foreign productions in the region, tearing studios in Europe and encourage Italian independents. "

Bond 24's casting director Debbie McWilliams has just issued this notice.

We are looking to follow in the tradition of JAWS and ODDJOB in finding an iconic baddy.

Hinx (Male, 30 - 45)

Ideally over 6′ 2″. Hinx is the main henchman/assassin. We are looking for an imposing extremely physically fit actor. He has several fights with Bond and will have to have stunt training. He has to drive. We are looking for someone very unusual, possibly from a sports background.

Height: 180cm 195cm

http://jamesbondradio.com/bond-24-villain-revealed-breaking-news

Bond fans are suspecting that 'Hinx' is just a placeholder name.
