'Royale' pain: New Bond girl, villain missing
By Tatiana Siegel and Borys Kit
Sony's "Casino Royale" kicked off its long-anticipated production in
Prague on Friday. Although the globe-spanning shoot has locked down
exotic locales and an intrigue-laden script, at least two things are
still missing: a leading lady and a worthy opponent for Agent 007.
Although it isn't unprecedented for a studio to begin principal
photography on a film with two major cast elements unsettled, it is
unusual for a project of this budget and scope. However, a source
familiar with the Martin Campbell-helmed production said scenes
involving James Bond's love interest don't begin for more than a month,
and the studio still has some breathing room before compromising the
film's schedule.
"They're talking to three to four girls right now," "Royale" scribe
Paul Haggis said. "Every week I read there's a new Bond girl, and I
call them and they say, No, you idiot."
Daniel Craig was cast as Bond in October, leaving the remainder of the
cast a mystery. In recent days, Rachel McAdams and Thandie Newton have
emerged as possible Bond girls. An insider said casting of the villain
is much further along than that of the female star.

Rachel Stirling, Vera Farmiga and Thandie Newton all screentested at
Pinewood a month or so back. Doubtless it'll be one of them, and I predict
Vera Farmiga purely on the grounds that I've never bloody heard of her
before.

It's interesting that Haggis gives that quote, too. I wonder if he's
still rewriting. They must be paying him a FORTUNE!

She was the female lead in the US version of Robson Green's
TOUCHING EVIL and is in Martin Scorsese's very interesting
remake of INFERNAL AFFAIRS. She's done the the old Eastern
European accent thing in 15 MINUTES

If that's what it takes to create a good script, then pay the man !!

Strange how Rose Byrne has disappeared off the radar and all the leaks seem
to be about the girl, with no actors touted for the casting of Le Chiffre...
