US showbiz news reheats Angelina Jolie casting rumour

MEDIA RUMOUR
It must be a quiet day at The Insider, a nationally syndicated Showbiz news program in the US, as they have stoked the Angelina Jolie/Bond Girl fire again. But the difference that this daily fluff piece may have over the other clone-shows is that The Insider was invited to the location shooting of "Quantum of Solace" a couple of times to interview the cast and crew.

Putting that sliver of credibility aside, The Insider reports that Angelina Jolie is being considered for a role in the James Bond film - the 23rd in the series - despite being rumoured for every 007 movie since 2000.

The sites says, "Angelina Jolie has been interested in being involved with Bond, James Bond, for quite some time. She came THIS CLOSE to signing on to Casino Royale with Daniel Craig — but dropped out of negotiations due to scheduling and her pregnancy at the time. Our source tells us Mrs. Pitt met with Bond producers over the weekend, expressing her interest in joining the franchise. The only hitch, Angelina would be a reoccurring character, instead of just appearing in one movie. With her Tomb Raider franchise dead, and being killed off in Wanted — Angie seeks a solid financial property to revisit every few years. An easy payday indeed! Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are very eager to have Angie on board. But, will they pay what she’s asking?"
