The "quick news" submission that I just read on this site claims that Suchet is not in Casino Royale. But the article doesn't support that statement. It just says:
Finally, IGN FilmForce has learned from sources inside actor David Suchet's camp that the rumored contender is NOT going to play Le Chiffre, the villain of Casino Royale. So the hunt continues ...
Let's not read too much into this. He is not Le Chiffre. But it doesn't say he is not in the film. The first article I read that mentioned Suchet suggested he could be Le Chiffre or a new M. Personally I think he'd be great as an M, and I think it's time to give the alcoholic Barbara whats-her-name the boot.

Maybe someone who has the power to do so might care to change the Quick News posting's title so that it says "Suchet is not Le Chiffre", rather than claiming he's not in the film?

[zencat]

Good suggestion. Will do. Thanks.

[tdalton]

Suchet would make a great M, although I wouldn't mind seeing him as Le Chiffre, either. If they do cast him as M, then that might alleviate some of the fears around the continuity issue of Casino Royale.

[Qwerty]

Would have really liked him in the role of Le Chiffre.

[killkenny kid]

I would like to see him as M.

[Dalton's Wendy]

Would have really liked him in the role of Le Chiffre.

Yes -- I think he would have been outstanding in the part.

[Double-Oh Agent]

I would prefer David Suchet as Le Chiffre rather than "M" but that apparently is not going to happen. I like him and I suppose he would be okay as "M" but I think he would be better as a villain.

And who says that Miles Messervy would be his role in Casino Royale anyway? Could he actually be in line to be another villain?

Gulshan Grover is going to be Le Chiffre and Suchet will be M

[spynovelfan]

Gulshan Grover is going to be Le Chiffre and Suchet will be M

I thought you weren't going to keep saying this stuff with no evidence, and we'd wait until the announcement?

[medrecess]

You seem annoyed my friend but this guy is the top candidate in the producers minds.

[Stax]

Maybe I should have been more clear: Suchet will not be in Casino Royale PERIOD.

[spynovelfan]

You seem annoyed my friend but this guy is the top candidate in the producers minds.

You;ve just stated categorically that Suchet will be M and Grover Le Chiffre. Do you have any evidence for these assertions? Or any of your assertions? Just saying something as if it's a fact doesn't make it one, you know. And what happened to

In my opinion Suchet/grover are being considered for the villian and not for M.

How come you are now sure that Suchet is M?

What happened to:

Lets wait till next week when EON does announce who Le Chiffre is.Any more discussion is meaningless and futile.

I don't like trolls, sorry.

[Dalton]

I think that Suchet would have made a good Le Chiffre. But if he is cast a 'M' Then so be it, he's a good actor, although I think he'd be better as a villian.

But this whole thing doesn't make sense, about the re-boot, with Campbell's comments i'm nervous.

[spynovelfan]

Bust as Stax just said:

Why does everyone believe Stax one week that Suchet may be in line for Le Chiffre, but the next week when he categorically states that the guy is not going to be in the film, people disregard that and continue to believe he will?

It seems that in the world of Bond fans, once a rumour has started it is impossible for it to ever be debunked - no matter what happens, people still believe it'll happen.

Rikki Lee Travolta is not going to be Bond either, people.

I never said that I beleive it, if you read my comment I only said that HAD he been cast he'd give a good performance.

I don't listen to rumour, and am simply waiting for an OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT about the casting of other key roles.

[Loomis]

Rikki Lee Travolta is not going to be Bond either, people.

Well, not Bond 6, anyway.

Point taken, though: Bond rumours are forever. Someone should compile a list of the biggest urban myths of Bond fandom, whatever they may be, pointing out why they're false. It'd make a good CBn main page article.

[double-O-Durg]

i'd like to see bernard hill as M - with pipe and glasses a la Bernard Lee, with a bit of make up i think he could look a lot like Lee. That is if they don't bring Dench back

Spynovelfan you idiot you can say what you want nothing is going to make a difference.You dont have insider info ,i have.You dont know Grover,i do.So just shut up.No one likes to listen to a fan who has no idea about what he is talking about.I am no troll but you certainly are one.

This is called trolling.

[Loomis]

I'm not a moderator, but I don't think the mods here take kindly to members calling other members idiots and telling them to "just shut up".

[ComplimentsOfSharky]

You said it Loomis, cool it Medrecess...or show us something to back up what you say. Just spouting off rumors and telling us you know doesn't give anyone a reason to believe it. If you want to present your opinion fine...but don't just nail something down and say 'it's this way just because'.

[killkenny kid]

Wow, another wild card.

Be nice.

The alternative is not to "be" at all.

Your call.

Charming.

What's wrong with anyone/everyone having an opinion or wish-list at this point?

The word "insider" seems to be becoming inetrchangeable with "troll" around here.

It's OK to be passionate about your idea's and "facts" - as you may believe them to be, but it's also just as well to disagree. Just be polite about it.

Suchet? I like his work. Maybe he'd be good as the unidentified masked assassin who dispatches Le Chiffre. More a cameo than a full role, but important none the less.

[ComplimentsOfSharky]

You know...I don't think I've ever actually seen Suchet without the Poirot mustache....

[Bryce (003)]

You know...I don't think I've ever actually seen Suchet without the Poirot mustache....

Check out "Executive Decision" - He plays the lead terrorist. Very menacing.

[Skudor]

I'd very much like seeing Suchet as Le Chiffre - he does menace nicely. Probably the best idea for LC that I've seen so far. Petty it seems it's not him.

[Bryce (003)]

Petty it seems it's not him.

Don't give up hope. Nothing is set yet.

[ComplimentsOfSharky]

I remember that! Didn't realize it was him...menacing indeed.

[Leon]

It has been mentioned that he COULD be a new M. As much as I would love that, I can't see how Judi Dench could be dropped after being said as cast.

So, maybe there is still a chance he is in the film...as Mathis? James Bond's French connection with the Deuxieme Bureau.
