James Bond
Appearing on Canada’s The Morning Show, Gary Oldman has cheered on his “Slow Horses” co-star Jack Lowden as the next potential 007, adding that he hears they’ve already cast the role with someone:

Oldman reportedly said: “It’s been rumored that [Lowden] is on the shortlist. We’re going to find out pretty soon, aren’t we? Because they have picked him. They have made their choice, but they have not announced it yet. So my fingers are crossed for Jack.” [Source: THR]

Antarctica
Following a recent resurgence in work with “28 Years Later” and the upcoming “Ink,” Danny Boyle says that “Antarctica” at Searchlight Pictures is looking to be his possible next film.

The film reportedly deals with two men in a race to cross Antarctica alone, unsupported and unaided across 930 miles of dangerous terrain. John Hodge penned the script. [Source: Indiewire]
