Hot on the polished heels of yesterday's casting announcement that
saw Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen chosen as villain Le Chiffre comes word
that Eva Green is officially the new Bond girl, Vesper Lynd.
In a statement by Sony Pictures chairman (chairperson, surely?) Amy
Pascal, Green was anointed as Vesper. "Vesper is a pivotal role in
Casino Royale and it takes much more than beauty to make this role
work," said Pascal. "When you think about the great James Bond
adventures, of course you think about action and espionage, but you
need to have palpable sexual tension in the movie and in casting
Vesper, we really needed to up the ante, because this character is very
much an equal to Bond and central to our story."
You'll likely remember Green as the woman who captured Orlando
Bloom's heart while breaking a million teenaged tickers in Kingdom Of
Heaven, and for spending large portions of Bernardo Bertolucci's The
Dreamers sans clobber.
More likely to keep his clothes on is Jeffrey Wright, recently seen
acting up a storm in Syriana and Broken Flowers. He'll play CIA agent
and old Bond friend Felix Leiter.
--- Well, I certainly hope that's not coming from Pascal's own genital
perspective. Just thought I'd beat everybody to that line.
