Bond Girl Rumour #5&6 - OIsen twins linked to `good girl` roles (tabloid silly season begins)

18-May-2007 • Quantum Of Solace

Bond fans beware - tabloid silly season for 007 rumours has officially opened today.

According to self proclaimed Hollywood gossip columnist Janet Charlton, the Olsen twins are being eyed for roles in Daniel Craig's second adventure as 007 in Bond 22 (due out November 7th 2008).

MEDIA RUMOUR
Introducing the new Bond Girls: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen! One of the producers (who happens to be a female) of Daniel Craig's next James Bond movie is very impressed with Ashley and Mary-Kate and really wants them in the 22nd 007 movie scheduled to start filming in 2008. The Olsens would be the first set of Bond twins. The producer is making the offer as appealing to the girls as possible - there will be no nudity or sex scenes. And the twins will play good girls - not villains. The Olsens are seriously considering the offer.

Back on planet earth, regular scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade recently handed in their draft screenplay for the film, with hints to possible Ian Fleming short story elements.

Produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli (Eon Productions), BOND 22 (title to be announced) is scheduled for release November 7th 2008. Principal photography will start in Q1 2008, at locations to be announced. It will be British actor Daniel Craig’s second outing as James Bond, following his debut film "Casino Royale" released November 16th 2006.

Thanks to `Balje` for the alert.
