Abbie Cornish's agent has come out and publicly refuted the story that's been circulating that Cornish has sewn up the leading lady role in the next Bond film. This sounds like a complete non-story to me, since we pretty much knew that already. Last time I checked, major casting deals aren't usually announced through the Rose Byrne Tribune. "I can tell you that information is not accurate," agent Belinda Maxwell told the Sydney Morning Herald, clearly speaking to the idea a deal is completely locked up. The only other quote from Maxwell is a reiteration of that first, careful statement: "Well, I can reiterate that that's not accurate information." In other words, she's choosing to stay within the bounds of the obvious -- that her client hasn't signed on any dotted line. I'm a van Houtenite, not a Cornite, so any news that puts distance between Cornish and this part is good news to me.
In other Bond news, Commanderbond.net is linking to some details on the upcoming fourth Young Bond novel, which will be titled Hurricane Gold. This one is set in and around Mexico, and has the young hero finding himself on an island that's a "safe haven for criminals." The name of the Bond Girl in this one will be Precious Stone, which sounds kind of lame to me. Couldn't they have come up with something better? Anyway, the book is set to be published in September of this year, but I'm not sure if that's U.K. or worldwide. Stay tuned to Cinematical as we continue to report on all things Bond-related.

To answer your question about the Hurricane Gold release... September 6, 2007 is the UK release. At the moment, the Young Bond books are a year ahead in the UK. Double or Die, which precedes Hurricane Gold, isn't due in the U.S. until April of '08. No word on the U.S. release of Hurricane Gold.
And I kinda like the name Precious Stone. :)

I'm dissapointed That Abbie Cornish didn't or maybe not going Bond girl in Bond 22. I will always hope she'll changer her mind getting the role. If not her some another girl. She would had been good. I hope not in the last minute.
