I am not familiar with this guy, but then again I wasn't familiar with the guy who played the villian in Casino Royale, and he did a great job, so I have total faith. As far as the music, I think the should get Iron Maiden to do the theme.....lol,,,would never happen, but would be cool. At least they had Chis Cornell do the last one. If not Maiden, I am hoping for Axl Rose, Scott Weilend, Amy Lee, etc....they always seem to go with the pop sensation of the moment, so i am curious.

I was kinda hoping Goran Visnijc was going to be the next Bond villain, but I'm willing to give this guy a chance.

Apparently this time around Bond is fighting Gollum from LOTR! HAHAHA HE UGLY!

And here I thought that the title was Bond 22, seems catchy enough for me.

I just watched Casino Royal again last night. I can't wait for the next one.

It would be interestng if they got Pierce Brosnan to play the villain.

Or Dalton. I liked him as a villain in Hot Fuzz.

They should bring a former Bond as a rogue agent, ala Golden Eye and 006. Not for the whole movie but maybe as anng mission or something.

Anyway, is the script finished or is the film being pushed back cause of the strike??

Can't wait for this film, Casino Royale was awesome.

This guy was in Munich too, don't think he had any scenes with Craig though.

He's great with a wide range of performance styles; I've seen him do dramatic roles and an eccentric comedic one as a mental patient. He's a French actor and I've seen quite a few of his French films in indie cinemas. Nice to finally know his name. I hope it gets him more exposure outside French media.

He deserves it compared to all the crap American actors who are terrible like Wynona Ryder, Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves (though the last 2 both pick great films to star in!) and unforgiveably attrotious people like Jennifer Garner.

I should think the script is finished hanso. It won't have taken long to write since it says above that the movie only lasts twenty seconds...
