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 like a cheap whore ... but I suppose that's what no-taste predicable 24 year old generation WHY's go for instead of class like 40-somethings do.

[Righty007]

This should be in the tabloid trash bin. Ginzburg was born on March 6, 1990. She's two years older than Craig's daughter...

[Binyamin]

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

Was that directed at me?

You have a lot of experience with cheap whores, then? What exactly makes a beautiful young Israeli woman look like a cheap whore, I'm curious.
We can disagree on taste in women, certainly, but calling a woman you've never met a "whore" and a man you've never met "a no-taste predicable generation WHY" is a bit over the top. Methinks thou dost protest too much.

And as a side note, THIS 24 year old generation WHY is busy traveling the world, working on his third language, and dating some of the most beautiful and classy women in the world, instead of calling people whores. How's that for predictable?

[Quantumofsolace007]

technically it is... but she is HOT I wouldn't mind.

Right...b/c she's dressed any more provocatively than the majority of other Bond Girls throughout the series history..../sarcasm. She looks like any other young and sexy woman.

This should be in the tabloid trash bin. Ginzburg was born on March 6, 1990. She's two years older than Craig's daughter...

Since when is the pairing of a 40-something Bond with a 20-something actress new for this series (it's happened countless times)...not to mention this wouldn't even remotely compare to the Moore/Sutton case which was just creepy...Grandpa Bond and his college-age lover..

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

Cheers on this post. I'd like to know the answer to the "cheap whore" question as well. Sounds like unwarranted bitterness and resentment toward young, hot people to me.

Jesus H, is this in any way true? I've been in love with her since I saw her in Sports Illustrated a couple years ago! So hot, and one of the few blondes that would match well with Craig (probably because she is Israeli).

She's mainly a model, I've never seen her act, but as long as it's not the main Bond girl, she'll be fine. She is a bit young (my age), but as long as Craig is in shape, it should be fine.

[Chief of SIS]

I posted this news before, yesterday in the tabloid trash topic, but since I guess we'll discuss it here...

I'm indifferent. Fine in a smaller role. Not the main Bond girl part. Too pretty?!? (Is that possible?)

[Binyamin]

Too pretty?!? (Is that possible?)

She does have a certain innocent look to her. Then again so did Fields, and she was gorgeous.

[AndrewBond]

Agreed, she shouldn't be the main Bond girl. She's too young, and not a real actress. But she's fine for a bit part. Personally, I hope there's plenty of women in Bond 23, to make up for the last two dry movies. There should be at least three more like her, in addition to the main Bond girl.

I have to ask: why do you have a subscription to a rag that's not fit to wipe your bottom with?

Because Murdoch thinks people are stupid enough to pay to read his tripe. And, sadly, some people are.

"MUMBAI: Twenty eight years after Octopussy was shot in India, the filming of the 23rd film in the 007 series is set to return to the subcontinent. The film, Bond 23, will be shot in the Big ND Studio located in Karjat, neighbouring Mumbai.

Last April, director Sam Mendes had visited India with the film's production designer Terry Bamber on location hunting. This is when they firmed up their plans to shoot at the studio. According to reports, the opening sequence of the Daniel Craig starrer will be shot in a three-week spell at the studio, founded by veteran art director Nitin Desai.


The set constructed at the studio depicts main roads, shops, bylanes in the vicinity of the CST Terminus and also the Crawford market.

It is said that the opening sequence will start off with a chase sequence in South Mumbai. The sequence that will also have blowing up of several cars will serve as a right opening to the film.

Directors of Bond films prefer landmark locations for their shoots. Director John Glen shot Octopussy in India in prime venues like The Jag Mandir in Udaipur and Taj Mahal in Agra."

thoughts?

[Quantumofsolace007]

uhm why was this moved into the tabloid bin ?

[Chief of SIS]

Authenticity of news source is my guess. Put a headline like 'Bond in Mumbai' on the forums and it sounds like a reputable topic but when it is here it is taken as what it probably is, a tabloid or unconfirmed news source's speculation or sketchy article.

[Shrublands]

thoughts?

Terry Bamber is NOT a production designer

He says he was NOT in India during April, in fact he was unwell and at home in the UK

He has NOT started working on Bond 23

[Quantumofsolace007]

but bond 23 will have an explosive opening sequence irregardless.

i mean Zorin do you think bond 23 will have boring opening sequence?

i mean I think we can all confirm bond 23's pre title sequence will be explosive and exciting right?

[Zorin Industries]

Sure.

[doublenoughtspy]

i mean I think we can all confirm bond 23's pre title sequence will be explosive and exciting right?

I'm guessing there will be some violence and sexual situations in the film too.

I don't need a badly written, inaccurate Indian "newspaper", and I do put the term in quotes, to tell me that.

There may be a grain of truth in this after all.

Someone asked this of Terry Bamber on Twitter...

“James Bond in Mumbai! When you'll arrive in India? September? #Bond23”

Then provided a link to this story.

To which Bamber responded with...

Not sure yet

Make of that what you will.

[Shrublands]

and a bit more fuel to the fire from Mr Bamber.
Further down his Twitter page, he says,

“See you when I am back on the Bond.”

to someone called Tanaaz Bhatia.

Tanaaz Bhatia runs a company called Bottomline Media, which is based in Mumbai.

so perhaps a Mumbai pre title sequence isn't that far off?
