Thandie Newton Not New Bond Babe

Posted by: Michael

Well a great rumor has been killed. SUPER hottie Thandie Newton is not going to be the next bond babe, and I am quite frankly devastated. Ok so no I am not but she is seriously talented and one of the hottest ladies in film. So who will be the new bond babe? At this point it's not known. Thandie herself has confirmed that she is not in talks for the role and never has been. Unfortunate for us.

The film reunites the producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli with Martin Campbell, who directed the 1995 Bond blockbuster "Goldeneye". "Casino Royal" will be the 21st James Bond film produced by the franchise holders, EON Productions. The MGM/Columbia Pictures production began shooting in January and is due for worldwide release on November 17, 2006. It will be filmed on location in the Czech Republic, the Bahamas, Italy and the UK.

Neal Purvis and Robert Wade wrote the screenplay based on famed author Ian Flemingâ€™s first novel. The script is currently being polished by Academy AwardÂ®-nominated writer, Paul Haggis ("Million Dollar Baby"). Ian Fleming's "Casino Royal" was the first James Bond book and finds Bond on a mission to neutralize a lethal, high-rolling Russian operative called simply 'Le Chiffre' - by ruining him at the baccarat table and forcing his Soviet spymasters to 'retire' him. It seems that lady luck is taken with James - Le Chiffre has hit a losing streak. But some people just refuse to play by the rules, and Bond's attraction to a beautiful female agent leads him to disaster and an unexpected saviour...
