The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) site has shed light on three interesting rumors. One involves Brosnan as Bond in the 21st installment, another about Love Actually star Colin Firth as a British Brosnan-replacement favorite, and a third rumor about pop singer Kylie Minogue showing up as a Bond girl.
Here are the complete texts of the rumors (which sometimes get lost on the IMDB site) that are/were on this page:
Bond Bosses at Loggerheads
James Bond star Pierce Brosnan will have to wait longer to find out if he's taking on the infamous role one more time - the film's bosses are at loggerheads over whether to cast a new actor in the role. The Irish actor recently revealed 007 producers were in "paralysis" over plans for Bond 21, and he is unsure if he will return for his fifth outing as the suave superspy. Now sources claim scriptwriters Andrew Neal and Robert Wade are in conflict with Eon Productions - who make the movies - over what direction the next film will take. An insider says, "The two scriptwriters want one kind of Bond, while Eon wants another. Neal and Wade want to go back to basics and concentrate on the plot and the characters, but Eon wants an even bigger special effects bonanza than Die Another Day, with loads of gadgets and computer wizardry. Obviously the issue affects the choice of who plays Bond."
Colin Firth Spies Bond Role
Love Actually hunk Colin Firth has emerged as the British public's first choice to take over from Pierce Brosnan as super spy James Bond. The 43-year-old actor, who wowed the ladies as sexy Jane Austen hero Mr. Darcy in Pride And Prejudice, piped hot tip Clive Owen to the top spot in a poll by video chain Choices Video. American Psycho star Christian Bale came in third, whilst British movie hunks Jude Law and Sean Bean were fourth and fifth respectively. Eon, the production company responsible for the James Bond franchise, have yet to announce who will play the next 007, leading to speculation that Pierce will be replaced.
Minogue to Woo Bond?
Pop star Kylie Minogue has emerged as the favorite to star opposite James Bond in the new 007 movie. The sexy singer is reportedly eager to launch a career on the big screen and insiders insist she's the number one choice for the traditionally sexy Bond girl role. A source says, "It's just a matter of whether she'll play the 'good' Bond girl or the 'evil' Bond girl." A spokesman for the Slow singer says no deal has been signed yet, but adds, "She is continually being sent film scripts." Yesterday current James Bond Pierce Brosnan revealed producers were still in "paralysis" over plans for the superspy's 21st outing on the big screen, and admitted he's unsure whether he'll be cast in the film.
