Javier Bardem Confirmed For Sam Mendes’ ‘Bond 23′
Oct 11th
After months of speculation, Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem has confirmed to ABC’s Nightline that he will be playing the villain in the 23rd James Bond movie: ”I am very excited, my parents took me to watch the movies, and I saw all of them, so to play that is going to be fun. They chose me to play this man, but I cannot give you many details.”
With filming on the 23rd James Bond film set to commence in November, we should expect a confirmation on the films title and casting soon. The film will see Daniel Craig and Judi Dench continue their roles, with Naomie Harris on board to portray Miss Moneypenny and Sam Mendes directing. Ralph Fiennes has reportedly been offered a “darkly complex” role, while French actress Berenice Marlohe is on board to play the next Bond girl opposite Daniel Craig.
Bardem’s casting is without doubt a great addition to ‘Bond 23′, Bardem portrayed one of the most fascinating and sinister villains of recent memory in ‘No Country For Old Men.’ I’ve got high hopes for this film, I’m a huge fan of Daniel Craig’s incarnation of James Bond. The UK release date for the 23rd James Bond film has been pencilled in for Friday, 26th October, 2012, while the film will open in the United States November 9th, 2012. Source: MI6-HQ.

In related ‘Bond 23′ news, MI6-HQ.com reports that the opening scenes for ‘Bond 23′ will be shot in Istanbul, Turkey. ‘Bond 23′ producers Michael G.

“The opening scenes are planned to be filmed in Istanbul, but some other places will also be used outside Istanbul for the film,” Günay confirmed. “Such is the appeal of the series that many of the locations where Bond films have been filmed in the past have continued to attract Bond fans to visit many years down the line. The fact that the opening scene of the film will be made in Turkey will contribute to Turkish tourism. The ministry has been providing big support to the film sector for five years.
