And the Bond 22 Villain Is...
Friedman calls Mathieu Amalric "a done deal."
It still doesn't have an official title, but if you believe Roger Friedman of FOXNews, the next Bond movie has found its villain.
In a column posted Friday, Friedman says Mathieu Amalric -- currently earning raves for his portrayal of Elle editor Jean-Dominique Bauby in The Diving Bell and the Butterfly -- will be facing off against Daniel Craig in Bond 22. Though no formal announcement has been made, Friedman calls it "a done deal," so take a look at 007's next archenemy:

on Nov 19 2007 08:34 AM Goldeneye, far and away...superior. i still wish it was more "bond" than "bourne" though. it just seems Craig isn't the protype for bond in my opinion. he's more regular action star, not a specific character... (Reply to this) |

on Nov 19 2007 08:51 AM I was hoping it was going to be Voldemort. (Reply to this) |
on Nov 19 2007 09:06 AM i was hoping it was going to be another forced love story, that was bond's greatest enemy in casino. (Reply to this) |
on Nov 19 2007 09:31 AM Goldeneye sucked, Casino Royale was by far the best bond with Goldfinger in second. Gimy you are a retard for thinking that Bronsons Bond was good. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 19 2007 10:14 AM that guy was the french dude in munich. seems like a solid actor. bring it on! (Reply to this) |

on Nov 19 2007 10:17 AM goldeneye sucked? first person i've EVER heard say that. its BROSNAN, ya frikkin dumbsh3t. BRONSON was the guy in the Death Wish movies. god really was drunk when he made you, phew...no looks AND no brain. double whammy. guess thats what happens when you're an inbred... (Reply to this) |
on Nov 19 2007 10:30 AM That guy will be a SOLID villian. Brosnan is just seemed too pretty and not hard enough for my tastes in Bond. He stacks up with Roger Moore, but Danial Craig is much more like Sean Connery in my opinion. Casino Royale might just be in my top two. The foot chase scene was awesome and they even mixed in the original car. How can you not like that? (Reply to this) |
on Nov 19 2007 10:32 AM Ok,first off Goldeneye didnt suck,and second Casino Royale is not the best Bond movie far and away.That said who the hell is this guy?You know what it doesnt matter because this movie is gonna be good anyways. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 19 2007 10:34 AM anyone else think we missed out on something great by not casting Brosnan in a Bond movie. Most violent Bond movie ever. (Reply to this) |
on Nov 19 2007 10:49 AM Who's the girl in that picture? And/or what movie is that still from? (Reply to this) |

on Nov 19 2007 11:03 AM RE BrianInSD: That's the problem with the 'scream like a girl when hearing foxnews in a sentence' crowd. Your lives ARE steered by the (mainstream) media. PS, Goldeneye was a great Bond movie - since it's been brought up... (Reply to this) |

on Nov 19 2007 11:03 AM In reply to this comment (#1288480) "BRONSON was the guy in the Death Wish movies" Charles Bronson and Pierce Bronson aren't the same person. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 19 2007 11:05 AM eek never mind my last comment. boy, I'm dumb. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 19 2007 11:06 AM Hey calm down people! Goldeneye and Casino Royale are both good movies, and both are at the higher end of the spectrum when it comes to Bond movies. Brosnan wasn't a bad Bond, it's just that every movie he was in after Goldeneye was horrible. Yeah Craigs Bond was much rougher around the edges than past Bonds, but that was kind of the point I thought. The new Bond series is kind of a reboot, and will showcase Bonds transition from a government thug to a sophisticated spy. Oh and the new bad guy looks short. Kinda looks like a European Bud Bundy.

Your lives ARE steered by the (mainstream) media." This is the most ignorant statement I've ever heard. FOX News is the leading cable news market in the US. If anything's mainstream, it's them. That said, Amalric is a terrific actor, and if he is indeed the villain in 22, it'll definitely be great. (Reply to this) |
