It's nice to know those responsible for getting the next James Bond film to the multiplex, have finally gotten their act together, completing the casting process.
The widely held belief that actress Eva Green is going to be the next Bond girl is now a reality. We also got word who will be playing the all important villain, as well as who will be portraying Bond's CIA counterpart Felix Leiter in the newest movie. Sony Pictures made an "official"announcement with a press release late yesterday:
It was announced today by producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Inc, and Sony Pictures Entertainment that EVA GREEN has been cast to play the enticing Vesper Lynd opposite Daniel Craig in his debut appearance as James Bond in the highly anticipated 007 adventure thriller, CASINO ROYALE.
It was also announced that renowned Danish-born actor MADS MIKKELSEN has accepted the role of Le Chiffre, Bond's nemesis in the film and JEFFREY WRIGHT has joined the cast as Felix Leiter.
It's about time! As I said in the post, News That Flickers, on Wednesday, I was hoping to see the lovely Kimberly Davies as the latest Bond babe, still Green makes a fine choice. I have seen The Dreamers and I'm sure she can hold her own in the role for the film. I'm glad they decided to bring the Leiter character back to the movies as well.
Variety's Nicole LaPorte has more on the casting of Bond #21
