    Re the video, hopefully it's something from the Pre-Boyle-era. Not another Bond movie with the personal vendetta angle for Bond. "Taken with Bond." Naaaaaaah...

    Just been having a few more thoughts on the villain role. One actor who played 'Evil Russian' recently was the great Gary Oldman in The Hitman's Bodyguard. Now that film was wholly disposal and unremarkable in every single way.

    However, the thought of Oldman playing an evil Russkie was enough to convince me to sit through it. To be perfectly honest, the concept is more fun than the execution in Hitman's Bodyguard as Oldman is hardly in that film and all his scenes are very generic. I suspect Boyle would get the best out of him.

    However, his recent Oscar clout (not to mention his already legendary status) surely put him in contention for any older male villanous role in the Bond franchise.

    It's beyond criminal that Oldman hasn't been cast in a Bond film. This needs to happen now.

    Agreed wholeheartedly!

    Didn't Oldman already turn down a Bond role a few films back?

    I hope the next bit of news is filming locations.
    Location scouting is no doubt the next phase of news we can expect. The UK is a given, and Russia is likely in the cards as well. Exciting times.

    The character being described as ‘Cosmopolitan’ suggests to me he is a world traveller - so I’m not necessarily sure it points to Russia as a definite ‘location’. I could easily be wrong, though.
    Most Bond villains have been cosmopolitan though, and the fact that they're scouting Russian actresses for the female lead does hint that Russia will have some presence in the film (whether they actually shoot there is anyone's guess, however).


    Anyway, here's a great podcast from @JamesBondRadio regarding potential casting for B25:



    Some really great suggestions here. I've picked out what I think are the best candidates.

    Villain:

    Viggo Mortensen
    Viggo_Mortensen_2012.jpg

    Female Lead:

    Yuliya Snigir
    174.jpg

    Henchman:

    Antonio Te Maioha
    latest?cb=20111220194121

    Also, they mention something we seem to have overlooked - Corbould's "think the Olympics" comment. Could this be hinting at a royal angle for B25? How would we feel about Bond saving the Queen? It's undoubtedly a bold idea, but something tells me it won't work.

    Funny, once I heard the news drop my mind immediately thought of Viggo. He'd be fantastic - he's great in everything.

    Another one they brought up was Lars Mikkelsen. He's a great choice, but he looks a lot like his brother Mads.

    He's solid too, I wouldn't mind him as a selection, either. I doubt them looking so similar will be all that jarring or confusing.

    Oh hell yes please to both Viggo and Yulyia from me. she was the most (only?) memorable thing from A Good day to Die Hard.
    The last dude looks alright.

    Another option for the henchman that was brought up was Mannu Bennett. He might be a better fit but slightly too Hinx-looking.

    Regarding Yuliya, she certainly has the looks but I wonder if she can act. A Good Day to Die Hard is the only thing I've seen her in but my memory is a bit vague.

    Another name thrown around was Georgian actress Elena Satine. She's got a fantastic look, but she'd only be 30 by the time filming begins:

    Tell me that's not an instant classic Bond girl.

    Well she could, I just don't think anyone would want to see it.

    @jake24, she's gorgeous, she'd make an incredible addition to the cast, albeit one better saved for the next actor and era, I think.

    I wouldn’t say that’s necessarily true, it’s not a phrase that immediately strikes me as being a general characteristic of Bond villains (although there are those that it’s applicable to), which is why it particularly stood out. It’s quite specific. Particularly so because Russia is quite an insular, relatively conservative place and projecting a character as ‘cosmopolitan’ on home turf seems slightly peculiar to me. An Oligarch in London, or Berlin, or HK however....

    I’m sure Russia will definitely have some presence, I just wonder whether it’ll be a soundstage/replacement location job. Again, I might be barking up the wrong tree completely.

    Good point. I guess time will tell. Things are beginning to get interesting.

    I do wonder if some elements (particularly action/VFX sequences) will carry over from the Purvis & Wade script. Last time, despite rewrites, they ended up being stuck with the Westminster Bridge sequence as they had already begun constructing the set at Pinewood.

    If they don't mind the possibility of casting a Scandinavian actor, they could also look towards Mikael Persbrandt. Great actor, who has played a spy himself - Carl Hamilton - a role that Peter Stormare and Stellan Skarsgård have played before him. I think Persbrandt trained with American Special Forces or similar in preparation for that role, as well.

    She played in Magic City, a TV series featuring Olga Kurylenko. Worth checking out!

    Viggo Mortensen would be terrific. I put him in the same category as Mads Mikkelsen. Very underrated.
