Bond girl rumor #1,023,777: Forget that other chick, it's Thandie
Filed under: Action, Drama, Thrillers, Casting, Mystery & Suspense, RumorMonger, James Bond, Remakes and Sequels
Yeah, yeah, yeah - I know. A couple of weeks
ago we reported that
Vesper Lynd (aka Casino
Royale's Bond Girl) would be played by Rose
Byrne. Hey, don't point at us - it was revealed by The Daily Mail, which is by far the most reliable
tabloid (look, an oxymoron!) when it comes to predicting Bond stuff. But now The Sun - easily the least
reliable tabloid in London, possibly on earth - thinks otherwise (for which you can't blame them, seeing as how the
Mail's predicted date of official announcement has passed). According to The Sun's information, Lynd will be played by Thandie Newton who, if nothing else, has solid spy girlfriend experience. Furthermore, the tabloid claims that Daniel Craig himself digs her: he was "'deeply impressed' with...[Newton's] performance in the raunchy bedroom scene test." (I know - it sounds like he wants to date her, not act opposite her. But remember, this is The Sun we're talking about.)
No matter which damn woman it is, they better hurry up: shooting is due to being in just a few days.

Kind of a lame choice. Bond gets Ethan Hunt's ex? Eww...

I'd much prefer Rose Byrne got the role to be honest so obviously i'm hoping the Sun is, as usual, talking a load of chuff.

Thandie is GORGEOUS! Even if I am white, I still know beautiful when I see it. And Bryne is pretty, but Newton is true Babe material.
