Byrne is extremely beautiful and is absolutely "Bond material". Let's see if this James Tapper has right on Friday (if it is even announced then)

Wasn't the Mail the first paper to report it was Craig?

It's a little bit funny that this insider that is mentioned does the exact same thing that Craig's mother did. Good grief!

Yeah, I read that article earlier today. She'll be a good choice, if it turns out to be true.

Quite possibly. If the rumours are true that Byrne, this Caroline Munro woman (you know who I mean), and those two (French?) guys whose names I haven't yet bothered to commit to memory have all been cast, it looks as though CASINO ROYALE will be the least star-studded film in the series since LICENCE TO KILL. Which I'm more than happy with. Vesper in particular needs to be played by someone with absolutely no "star baggage", since the audience must be kept guessing about the character and - as Bond does - approach her "fresh". Someone like Angelina Jolie, Sienna Miller, Thandie Newton, Naomi Watts or Catherine Zeta-Jones would have been quite wrong, IMO (as well as likely to take too much of the limelight away from Craig), and I'm pleased that Sony and Eon have seemingly been focusing their search on little-known actresses. Presumably there'll be a start-of-shooting press conference soon, at which all the casting news will be officially revealed (or should I say confirmed?). I wonder where it'll take place. London? But where will they start filming? The UK, the Bahamas, Italy....? Will the location of the conference depend on that? |

Well, the opinion so far at CBn and AJB is pretty unanimous. Rose Byrne definitely gets the thumbs up.
I am not too familiar with her, but she certainly looks the part. I looked up her filmography at the imdb. Actually, it's not bad at all. She has appeared in Troy, Wicker Park, Star Wars: Episode II Attack Of The Clones, and in Casanova (TV series). |

I would have prefered Rachael Stirling. She doesn't look like an average supermodel like Byrne does, but Ill deal with it.

I do hope that this rumor turns out to be true, becuase she is a great choice. Very Vesper-esk.
"Her hair was very balck, and she wore it cut square and low on the nape of her neck, framing her face to below the clear and beautiful line of her jaw. [...] Her eyes were wide apart and deep blue. [...] Her skin was lightly sun-tanned and bore no trace of makeup, expect on her mouth which was wide and sensual. (Chapter 5)" I still say that Fleming had a picture of Charlize Theron next to him while he was writing the book, but Rose Byrne is still an exelent choice.  And where it spells on the wall behind St. Peter, so bright on cinder gray, in spray paint, 'Who the hell can see forever?' |

This is, imo, the perfect choice.... I remember thinking when I was watching Troy....
(and I kid you not) "damn.... this girl would be perfect as a Vesper type Bond girl...." all in all, great choice! :up: This post has been edited by deth: 15 January 2006 - 18:28  Daniel no longer uses this account. |

I think she looks great. Guess this means I'm going to have to watch TROY.
BTW, I think she's one of Padme's "doubles" in EPII (Dorme). Visit The Young Bond Dossier, now the OFFICIAL site for Young Bond news "How do you kill five hours in Rio if you don't samba?" |

I'd say Daylights even (as LTK did have that Sanchez chap from all those TV Movies, David Hedison and that country and western singer at least), although Daylights did have Joe Don B and Jeroen Krabbe who was a bit of a Euro hit. GoldenEye was pretty star-less (I don't count Brosnan, but Mr Bean could be a bit of a stumbler), though. Oh dang, Judi Dench. Mind you, Casino's got her too. Anyway- yes; I like Miss Byrne; very believable, very sexy. |

I've never heard of Rose Byrne before, and I certainly haven't seen her act. She looks cute, though.

I'm sure the press conference will be held either at a London hotel, or at Pinewood Studios. I just hope they don't arrive by speedboat this time.

Interesting how much more people are interested in the choice of actors and performers this time. The cast is looking very promising. Lets cross fingers that the script and direction are of suitably high standard!
