Fiennes is an actor I'll watch in just about anything right now, and given his chilling and understated performance in the otherwise lackluster Red Dragon we know that he could be suitably threatening and creepy as a Bond villain. Not only that but I think he perfectly fits the Bond mold, especially given the tone established in the Daniel Craig era. I could see Finnes as a very good Robert Davi/Franz Sanchez style villain, perhaps tying in some way to Quantum.

"But my favourite Bond is Roger Moore because he is my generation,"

Full of contradictions...

“Connery is my number one Bond, there's no doubt about that!"
Then
"But my favourite Bond is Roger Moore.”

At least she’s certain that she’s in the running...
“…The Dublin X Factor finalist is reported to be on the singing shortlist for the film.”
But…
“We have put it out there, but they haven't got back to me yet."
...Oh.

Keep sitting by that telephone Marry!

hence why it's here

I really hope for a good location rumor.

[Tybre]

So according to this it's due to be released 9 Nov 2012. Provides a link to here which only says Nov 2012 so not sure where they're getting a 9 from. Basically everything else there is stuff we've already heard, but I don't recall seeing anything with 9 Nov/just plain Nov 2012 as a release date (although, really, November X year is probably a safe guess).

So yeah. Maybe doesn't explicitly belong here but it's whatever.

Edit:
Also just noticed that one they link to is oooold.

They’ll have got it from the official press release from MGM and Eon. It was issued to the world’s press in January of this year.

Apparently Bardem is signed and the role of bond girl is between Frieda Pinto, Jennifer Aniston, and Olivia Wilde as I have no idea how accurate the publication is I'll toss it here more people pick up the story however...

a new location rumor to start off the week

Oh and what do you all think of a Monsoon being in Bond 23?

[Shrublands]

It’s interesting that this “highly-placed source” doesn’t know what Terry Bamber does for a living.

A few names and rumours cobbled together from a bit of Googling I’d say.

[marktmurphy]

Aishwarya Rai for Bond girl?

It'd be a good location, although not one to entirely free themselves from accusations of following Bourne.

You of all people should know this belongs in the tabloid thread because of the unsolicited rumours being thrown about.

[Loomis]

Well, BOURNE 2 went to Goa, which obviously looks and feels very different to Mumbai (there would probably be accusations that BOND 23 was somehow "following" SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, though ). Used properly, it'd be a terrific location.

They should go to Jodhpur instead. All of the houses around the Mehrangarh Fort are painted blue ... for reasons that I can't work out.

The fort:


The city:


At the very least, it would look good on camera. However, there is talk that Christopher Nolan might be filming parts of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES in India, and that he might be going to Jodhpur.

[Chief of SIS]

They wish it was going to filmed there. Like the local though.

[OwenDavian]

Its more than just talk. Nolan and co. will be in India on the 6th and 7th for shooting with Bale.

Israeli Model To Audition for 'James Bond' Film

If it even holds a modicum of truth, it is interesting to note she has been 'invited.' Could it be because she's Israeli? (Though blonde hair blue eyes isn't unique.)

The city:

Jodhpur is famed not only for the trousers but also its blue houses, sometimes also called Brahmin houses because they are traditionally inhabited only by members of that caste. The general view is that the blue wash was originally applied to help protect the houses against termites and other insects.

Given that THE DARK KNIGHT RISES has just filmed at Jodhpur and the Mehrangarh Fort, I guess Bond won't be touching it for the time-being. Rajasthan as a whole is extraordinary though, with lots of great locations (such as Udaipur from OCTOPUSSY). I went in 2008, and it's very diverse. Jodhpur is perhaps the hottest place I've ever been given that it sits right in the middle of a desert; other places are much more manageable.

Here's the latest rumor regarding Bond 23's female lead:

Story: Israeli actress Esti Ginzburg approached

Israeli actress Esti Ginzburg


Can't say I know much about her, but she certainly looks the part. Also, while it doesn't really matter in the end, I'd prefer them to cast a blonde only because CR and QoS both had brunette female leads.

Obviously, there's a long way to go though before anything is official.

She looks about 12. Much older actress needed if Dans not to look like a Paedo.

[Tony_w]

A tad young, but she for sure looks the part.

[00 Brosnan]

She looks about 12.

Not at all man. I'm 24 and I have a ton of friends her age (21) and she looks like just about every early 20-something girl I know. She just has a baby face, some people have that.

[Binyamin]

YES.

Then again I'm 24 not 40-something, but still....

[jaguar007]

Keep in mind, this may not be for a leading role.

[Garth007]

She has the look of an ambassador's daughter of something. Hmmm idea for bond 23, Ambassador's daughter kidnapped by quantum and bond goes after them to bring her back alive while finding out who is really behind the organization. It's got a taken like film plot to it doesn't it.

[Binyamin]

I'd get behind HER organization and make sure SHE got taken.


I'm done now. Really.

[00 Brosnan]

Lol, YES! I totally feel the same way.

[Binyamin]

This is just badass: She has actual military training in the Israeli Defense Force (IDF).

"She was drafted into the army (IDF) on July 22, 2009, and in early October of that year, while speaking in support of enlisting, caused headlines by criticizing fellow Israeli model Bar Rafaeli for avoiding military service. On joining the army Ginzburg said: Military service is part of the things I personally believe in."

Hot AND knows how to shoot. Bryce 003, are you seeing this? We can be in Tel Aviv in under twenty-four hours....
