Important part

"Daniel Craig is reprising the role of the secret agent 007 with Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes signed on the production to play villains."


Latino usually does get their info right regarding Casting and production

They reviewed the Casino Royale script while the film was in production and got everything accurate they announced Ledger for the Joker before it was announced I think they also got Michael Caine as Alfred and review batman begins script and were extremely accurate. I could list others but I think they are accurate.

I for one am happy with the news as both actors are great i suspect we'll get a press release regarding the casting soon enough.

I'm not gonna take it as truth until we get an official press release. Also, do we really need another thread on this?

Hate to be a jack but is there a thread on them being officially Casted if so we can delete this,.

[DamnCoffee]

But we don't know that they're working on Bond 23 or not!

The article read...
"Daniel Craig is reprising the role of the secret agent 007 with Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes signed on the production to play villains."

not...
"Daniel Craig is reprising the role of the secret agent 007 with Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes officially signed on the production to play villains."

Whilst they haven't confirmed it and this snippet is in the middle of a Judi Dench article, makes me doubt how official it is. Pretty sure the two lead villians would be confirmed with their own article and not shoe horned into another one. They've been approached to star, but you really have to stop taking everything as fact.

[Mr_Wint]

If you constantly pick from the rumour mill you will be right everynow and then. Hence, 4-5 accurate predictions does not indicate that they are always right.

[Quantumofsolace007]

As always Mahrkin your right Just saw it and figured wow them being signed is something to discuss.

I do think they will be announced soon enough don't you?

[jaguar007]

Actually I am with Quantumofsolace007 this time. Latinoreview usually do have their facts straight and have been a reliable source of information. He is correct, they did have alot of correct info on CR prior to any official announcement. If this was in the "tabloid trash" bin, I would probably have missed it.

Edit: after actually reading the link, it is not an announcement from them that they learned the two were signed, but just a statement at the end of Dench's article. I'm not sure if I should take this as fact right now or not.

[Matt_13]

Latinoreview is a solid source. This is most exciting


Also Harkers is understandably keeping us grounded, and he made a very good point about the difference one word can make in a statement. Interesting, really. Still, I think we are definitely on to something, though at this point I'm more interested in the Bond girl.

[Quantumofsolace007]

while this is far from a press release I suspect Latino is correct and we'll get confirmation quite soon.


As for bond girl things are surprisingly quiet in that regard but we'll know soon enough same with title and location rumors

[zencat]

Latinoreview has a pretty good track record for getting things like this right (and first).

And, yes, we do need a thread on this. Only way I would have seen it.

[Bucky]

If it is true than awesome news. Not getting my hopes up just yet though.

[0077]

I think it's safe to say that Fiennes has some part in 23, whether it be a villain or not.

[Quantumofsolace007]

I think it's safe to say that Fiennes has some part in 23, whether it be a villain or not.

I think it's even safer to say he will be a villain in bond 23.

[MajorB]

We'll see. Just because a site usually has reliable info, it doesn't mean that one of its writers might not occasionally slip, carelessly describing a possibility as a certainty. It would be outstanding news if true, though!

[Sebastian Tombs]

Well, it won't be the first time a single site reported something and everyone went crazy. (Remember Rachel Weisz?) We'll see if it's officially confirmed or if they were just repeating a rumor.

Actually, Fiennes and Bardem officially signing would be worthy of a news story on its own, rather than just a passing remark.

[Matt_13]

This is what makes it questionable. Good point.

This is why I have my doubts. It's rather strange.

[Royal Dalton]

My gut instinct is that Bardem won't be in it. We shall see, though.

[x007AceOfSpades]

Sounds good! Nice find though Quantum, hopefully this is true (I think it just might be).

[Quantumofsolace007]

My gut instinct is that Bardem won't be in it. We shall see, though.

What does your gut say about Ralph Fiennes?

[Royal Dalton]

It says he's in it. But I can't really see this working with two big villains. Unless one of them's just a cameo appearance.

[DamnCoffee]

I would be all for two villains. With two parallel plans. It could be really interesting. But you know, people who couldn't understand Quantum of Solace won't have a clue how to understand that..

[Chief of SIS]

I keep picturing Javier and Fiennes as Mr. Kidd and Mr. Wint...

Diamonds are forever is one of my favorite Fleming novels wouldn't mind if elements was used in Bond 23.

[jaguar007]

It is too bad that FYEO used so many elements of Risico. Finnes and Bardem could have been excellent in those roles.

[Bryce (003)]

Heard some interesting bits on this in the last few days. Not just here on CBn, but just some talk amongst some HUMINT.

I'm guessing that if you told us, you would have to kill us?

[0077]

Two villains working as a pair of assassins of Quantum. Assigned to hunt Bond, possibly lure him along with something that MI6 might want.


possible elements from FRWL?

[Sebastian Tombs]

Them as Wint & Kidd make far more sense than them as Jack & Seraffimo Spang. I still say they would be miscast as brothers.

[0077]

Maybe they'll be Bambi and Thumper?
