PENELOPE CRUZ IS
THE OLDEST EVER JAMES BOND GIRL
One of the hottest pieces of news at the beginning of this week was an info on Penelope Cruz taking a Bond girl role in the next JAMES BOND movie which will most probably again be directed by Sam Mendes who scored huge success with SKYFALL. It's interesting that Penelope is married to and has recently had a baby with Javier Bardem who played the villain in SKYFALL. The 24th film on agent 007 should start shooting next year which will give Penelope enough time to get in shape after her pregnancy. If she signs the contract she will be the oldest Bond girl in history being 40 years old. Pussy Gallore was the oldest so far with her 39 years of age.

NEW TRAILER FOR
FOR CW'S 'REIGN' EPIC SHOW
You can also check out the new, long, trailer for CW's new historical show REIGN which will hit the small screens this Autumn on Thursdays.
The trailer is confusing since the show looks extremely cheap at some moments and then luxurious and rich in others, with costumes that look mostly bad and with strange casting choices (the lead actress Adelaide Kane looks too modern teeny for this kind of genre), but we shall give it a benefit of the doubt. As you can read in HOLLYWOOD SPY's extensive spotlight on the show, the story will follow the teen days of Mary Queen of Scots when she arrives to French court where she falls into the world of intrigues surrounding
the king, the queen (Megan Follows), the lords and their mistresses, and two young princes Francis ( Toby Regbo) and Sebastian (Torrance Coombs)!

Couldn't care less who plays the next bond girl good news is another bond movie
ReplyDeleteLOL Daniel Craig has two more Bond films according to his contract, and after that they might switch him too :)
DeleteI don't mind I like Craig as bond. Skyfall was just excellent and return to the charm of the older films.
DeleteHaven;t seen it yet. I stopped watching Bond after they fired Brosnan :)
Deletewait i thought they were done making those bond flicks... did we get lied to again?
ReplyDeletebut they have to milk it now that the last one became biggest earning British flick of all times :)
Deleteit was a great lead up to the bond start... i would agree. give the people what they want... drones/puppets.
Deletelemmings...
Deleteand lazy sloths ....
Deletesee you agree.
Deletewho told you? I will beat him right away!
Delete'REIGN' Nice trailer , I love all these stories of the middle age .
ReplyDeleteCheers .
me too, Vincent! Love them epic!
DeleteI'm excited for the Outlander series, yet sort of dreading it too. I enjoy the books so much -- at least the version in my head. If they get the casting wrong it will be very painful to watch.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine. I hear most fans want Kate Winslet for the lead role, but I can't imagine her accepting a TV role. She did MILDRED PIERCE but this is a very long series.
DeleteNo problem with Cruz, she's a good actress.
ReplyDeleteboys do seem to like her :)
DeleteA Bond girl who can act... I can't take such a breath of fresh air. Hold me! Not to mention the fact that she's quite a woman. That shorty-what's-his-name should've had his brain checked.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Do the honors... be #100....
DeleteWho says she can act? :) She is pretty, but mostly whimpy in her acting. I'm not a fan, myself. I prefer Salmonela Hayek.
DeleteI prefer them together... Like in that cowchick flick... Just keep the salmonela if you don't mind.
Deletethey're actually best friends in real life :)
DeleteOne obstacle down. Two hundred more to go.
Deletetaking Javier Bardem down would be the next obstacle :)
DeleteThat's why I've asked you to come. Pun intended. ;)
Deletehow will me coming help you in this case. Pun continued? :P
DeleteCruz is hot so age is just a number
ReplyDeleteyep, she looks younger
DeleteI'd call her young. I wonder why that is.
DeleteI myself think that people are young till they're 50 and then between 50 and 70 they're mature people, and only after 70 or closer to 80 they're old :)
DeleteI'm afraid I'll never be mature, Dezz. I just hope that doesn't mean I'll kick the bucket before I turn 50.....
DeleteFor someone who just turned fifty, I find this exchange utterly depressing. :P
DeleteDANG, I'm hitting mature zone according to Dez this year. I suppose I can put all those cougar fantasies to rest.
Delete@Blue
Deleteyep, you probably never will be :P
@Luanne
imagine me a month ago when I turned 35 and read that official medical field considers you young only under 35 :((((
@Debs
DeleteWhy? Sweet sisters, cougar years start with age 50 :) You can now officially chase tomcats younger than 30 :)
Hahaha I thought a cougar started at 40 and was washed up by 50.
Deletethose are ancient standards, these are new Dezzy standards :) You have the official permission to play the market :)
DeleteLots of good stuff here though I must admit my heart went pitter pat when I saw Ian Somerhalder.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping the pic I've chosen had something to do with it :)
DeleteI've never thought of Penelope Cruz as old. She's younger than me. So what does that mean - I'm old? ;)
ReplyDeleteyou is fresh and young as a morning drop of dew on a daisy petal, Sherry :)
DeleteI don't find Penelope Cruz all that attractive. I guess I'm one of the few?
ReplyDeleteI'm among those few too, Damien
DeleteI've her asked to pay you a visit, Damian. Consider it a second opinion.... :D
Deleteisn't he Damien and not Damian? That is the question :)
DeleteI call him Damian. Grumpy Damian. Just like in that movie. Or was he Damien? Wait.. I'm not disklexick...
DeleteI called him Damian too, but then realized that he was actually Damien :)
DeletePenelope Cruz seems like too obvious a choice for a bond girl... if that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteagreed. For some reason they always chose the same type - brown haired, simple face, dark eyes.... maybe because they don't want those girls to overshadow Bond or they want Judi Dench to remain the prettiest lass in the film :)
DeleteGood point, Lynda. I don't even want 'my' Bond girls to be anyone famous. I've got a hard time believing James is Bond, so when I see Penelope, I'll keep saying to myself, 'That's Penelope.' Before you know it, I'll want my money back. Do you know what I mean?
Deleteand that is why your fave Bond girl was Isabela Scorupco, yes? :)
DeleteCruz's baby is going to have an awesome accent.
ReplyDeletemost probably
DeleteOoh! I just saw Noel somewhere...Into Darkness? I think that's it. I can't wait to see Ian on the big screen. Oomph, those eyes. :)
ReplyDeletelike two oceans :)
