This year will bring along a brand new 007 movie, Casino Royale.

A new James Bond movie with a new James Bond face, British actor Daniel Craig, less of a tough guy than Sean Connery and less charismatic than Pierce Brosnan. Also, the first blonde actor to play Bond.

According to Killer Movies, previous rumors have indicated the presence in the movie of Bollywood's "bad man" Gulshan Grover as Le Chiffre, Bond's Nemesis but eventually the part was attributed to Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen.

On the female department, many actresses turned down the offer to play femme fatale Vesper Lynd, opposite Daniel Craig. One of them was Charlize Theron, probably still savoring the intriguing image conferred by her recent movie Aeon Flux. Angelina Jolie was another candidate but we can believe that she has had enough action on the set of Lara Croft. Scarlett Johanssen was also offered the part but declined the proposal.

Finally, the part was attributed to French actress Eva Green. The producers of the movie have commented on their choice: "after an extensive search we found the perfect actress. She brings to the complex role of Vesper an exciting combination of enigmatic and seductive beauty".
Judi Dench has also confirmed her re - involvement in the Bond project, taking on once again the part of M.
Other actors to take part in the action movie are Giancarlo Giannini as Mathis, Caterina Morino as Solonge, Simon Abkarian as Dimitrios and Tobias Menzies as Villiers.

The filming began earlier this year in Prague, Czech Republic, and the producers expect the movie to be completed at the beginning of the fall.
