There are a couple of news sources I really do take with a healthy scattering of salt, mainly daily UK tabloids. That’s because they post gossip rather than rumour and fact, there’s also been many a case of lies. However the story that Angelina Jolie is considering a Bond role has now come through the Guardian, which is definitely more trustable.
Angelina Jolie is considering a part as a Bond girl in the new 007 movie if the role is toughened up, according to the Sun.
Oh dear. Maybe it’s not that good after all, still, let’s go with it. Apparently she’s saying no so far as the role isn’t meaty enough for her. Seems she doesn’t want to play a role that’s too lightweight. Mmm…Lara Croft? Mrs Smith? Sway in Sixty? Of course the other thing to consider is that Bond movies are deep intellectual films looking at rich, well developed characters with interesting and complex personalities.
Ach come on, it’s a Bond movie! You’d look great in it! Now I’m excited about Bond casting! However the news might not be so good.
An “insider” told the newspaper: “Angelina would rather play a baddie than eye candy.”
What do you think? Bad news for the guys? Bad news for Bond..again?
