Berenice Marlohe Named Bond Girl As James Bond Title Confirmed
Producers revealed details of the 23rd film in the franchise at a London event on Thursday. "I'm incredibly excited to be doing it and it has," said director Sam Mendes. "I think, all the elements of a classic Bond movie including a lot of action and many other things too. There's lots of surprises." "I've always been a huge fan of Bond movies as a child and of course every English schoolboy grows up with them. In a sense they're part of my life. This is an enormous challenge and one I'm extremely pleased I've taken." Some critics have questioned the selection of Mendes, who is known for directing dramas such as 'Revolutionary Road' and 'The Road to Perdition' and not action. Along with Daniel Craig as Bond for the third time, the cast will include Ralph Fiennes, Judi Dench, Javier Bardem as the villain and French actress Berenice Marlohe as the female lead alongside Naomie Harris. Marlohe will play an "enigmatic beauty" by the name of Sabrine while British actress Harris will play field agent Eve. It's rumored that her character will be the new Miss Moneypenny. "Being lucky enough to get the chance to do a third one, it is my intention to make the best Bond movie we possibly could - and Bond with a capital B - and I'm just incredibly proud to be part of this group of people," said Craig. 'Skyfall' will begin production soon. The film has a release date of October 2012 in the UK and worldwide on November 9, 2012. In fact, next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the first Bond movie, 1962's 'Dr No'.
As we speculated last month, 'Skyfall' has been confirmed as the official title for the upcoming James Bond film.
