Goran Visnjic confirmed in `final four` for James Bond #6 role

TV Guide's Ausiello has confirmed rumors that ER star Goran Visnjic is one of the contenders for the role of 007 in Casino Royale, the 21st James Bond film which Sony is planning on releasing October 19, 2006.

He told ComingSoon, "Yes, it's true. But should he get the role, it wouldn't mean the end of Kovac. "We have a contingency plan," says exec producer David Zabel. "We would film a bunch of stuff [with Kovac] at one time for later episodes. Or, depending on where the Bond film was shooting, he might be able to work on both at the same time. That's what [George] Clooney did. He was shooting Batman & Robin for part of the day and ER the other part."

No James Bond actor has ever shot other projects during a 007 production.

Thanks to `Paddy` for the alert.
