Bond 23: Title and New Bond Girl Revealed!
by Andy NeuenschwanderYou can only keep secrets about movies for so long, even if you're making a movie about a top-secret spy agency. Eventually, someone is going to crack your code and leak your intel.
Such is the case with "Bond 23," which has been the working title for the new James Bond movie up to this point. The project has been fairly secretive, but there has been a flurry of activity of late that has been too difficult to contain.
For example, we're fairly certain that the title of the new Bond movie will be "Skyfall," as a series of web domains containing the words "Bond" and "Skyfall" were recently snatched up. An interesting choice... sounds a little sci-fi, doesn't it? Sounds like the new Bond might involve a satellite, like it has so many times before.
A barrage of casting news has come out of the camp too, and some of it is confirmed (though not officially by the studio). It appears that French actress Bérénice Marlohe will be the new Bond girl (or one of them, anyway). She will be joined by Ben Whishaw (who recently appeared in "The Tempest") and Helen McCrory (who played Narcissa Malfoy in the "Harry Potter" films) in undisclosed roles.
Javier Bardem has been rumored as the main villain for a while now, but there's also a rumor that Ralph Fiennes will play a role in the new Bond as well... but of course, what that role is remains a secret.
These new cast members will join Daniel Craig, returning as James Bond, and Dame Judi Dench, returning as M.
