Commander Bond reports that director Martin Campbell was in Paris this the past week promoting "The Legend of Zorro" and the helmer cleared up a lot of the speculation swirling about the next James Bond film "Casino Royale" during interviews he conducted with both Club 007 France and Allocine.
First up heconfirmed that Goran Visnjic, Henry Cavill, Daniel Craig, and Sam Worthington had indeed all screen-tested for the role of James Bond and that the announcement will be made in "less than three weeks."
Campbell also added that Pierce Brosnan, who has recently been touted as being back in contention, will NOT be 007 in the new film. Campbell is searching for a James Bond "between 28 and 32" years of age, confirming reports that the film will feature a 'young' 007.
Campbell then revealed that he's still looking for an actor to play the main villain, Le Chiffre, and that he is considering French actors for the part. The director refuted screenwriter Paul Haggis' recent comments about how Casino Royale would feature "no gadgets". "There will be some gadgets in the film" said Campbell.
Thanks to 'Ben'.
