This story started circulating an hour ago about rumours that Stan fav Ben Whishaw is going to be in the new James Bond film, directed by Sam Mendes.
If it is true I really hope he plays a villain. I've bored anyone who cares to listen, and probably even written about it on this blog before too, about how I'd love to see him play a baddie. I think he would have a lot of fun with it, and after all he likes cats which is kind of essential for a Bond villain ;0)
The filming is set to begin in November which would fit in with his current known work schedule ie Cloud Atlas which is due to start filming next month.
Naturally I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for news
Its now confirmed: Ben will be in the next James Bond movie !!!!

I think also that Ben could be genious in a baddie role. A new source of exploration to this wonderful adventurer, undoubtedly! On the other hand, why not refreshing Q, by rejuvenating him and bringing him more presence and power against James Bond ? I think there is also something to exploit. Obviously, we shall let Ben make his own choice.
