Hold the bus!...I Am Rogue has news on Bond 23

This news is the most exciting piece of news I have heard today...and thank goodness I heard this today as everything on the Bond front had gone very quiet, and I was thinking that MGM was still having financial problems...but not so apparently.

I Am Rogue thankfully has the exciting news that Bond 23 will start filming this November and that Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson (the producers) will film a 10-15 minuite segment of the film in Istanbul, Turkey.

Broccoli and Wilson have already chosen the location of Sultanahmet Square,-Turkey's historical city-, as one of the several other Turkish locations to use in order to film this segment of the film. Other locations that the producers have in mind to use for this particular segment of Bond 23 are as Turkey's Minister of Culture and Tourism has been reported as saying:

'....there are, however, a number of locations, including the waterside and shores of the Bosporus, in consideration for the 10-15 minutes of the movie that is to be filmed in Turkey'.


Also Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes who have been rumoured to appear in this film have now been confirmed to be in this new Bond...but unfortunatly there is no news as yet as to what character Ralph Fiennes will play in the film but true to form Javier Bardem will play a villain...and if his track record so far of playing baddies is anything to go by, (I'm thinking 'No Country For Old Men' then this villian will be one hell of villian as in this he got an oscar and terrified the hell out of everyone who saw that film as he really was a proper badass!)

Anyhew...Sam Medes who has already to his name 'Road To Perdition', 'Away We Go' and 'American Beauty' to name just a few of the other films on his CV is going to direct this new bond. The screen play has had contributions from Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan.

But the most important and the one everyone wants to know about apart from knowing who the new bond is, is who is the bond girl, at the moment this is rumoured to be the French television/film actress Berenice Marlohe.

If your like me and are unfamiliar to who this actress then don't worry, here is a picture of her:





If this does turn out to be true then she definitly looks the part of a bond girl or as I've just thought she could be a villain as I read on MI6 HQ a couple of months ago that there was a suggested whisper that the film would focus on the mysterious Quantum group and it was said that Rachel Weisz was to be head of the group but thanks to leaking this on Twitter she was either recast as something smaller or booted out sooo I was thinking that this actress could be a good replacement for her as a villain.

And I have heard on this site that Tom Ford has been working with Daniel Craig on designing a new look and feel suite to Bond and that Tom Ford has been working alongside the costume designer Louise Frogley when he started doing the Bond suites on Quantum of Solace but now Louise Frogley looks set to be replaced by the costume designer of the Harry Potter series Jani Temime.

Also if your wondering when we over here in the UK get to see this then you can see Bond 23 on 26th October 2012, but over the pond you'll have to wait till 9th November 2012.
