4 hours ago | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Gemma Arterton has revealed that she dislikes the media's criticism of successful actresses. The Quantum Of Solace star, who will appear in the upcoming blockbuster Prince Of Persia, told The Times that famous women are unfairly targeted by news outlets. "When you put yourself in these huge popcorn movies you get out there, in the public arena, more than anyone else.

Bond girl Gemma Arterton believes that attractive and successful women are not well-liked by the British public. The 23-year-old beauty starred as agent Strawberry Fields in 007 flick Quantum Of Solace and said the way Britain views successful women needs to change. She said: 'For some reason, if you're successful in Britain, people tend not to like you. But if you are a successful woman, and beautiful, in Britain, you are even more disliked.' She added: 'When you put yourself in these huge popcorn movies, you get out there, in the public arena, more than anyone else.

Sam Mendes tipped to direct next Bond film
6 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The director best known for taut relationship dramas such as American Beauty and Revolutionary Road is in talks to take the reins on the 23rd 007 adventure
The Oscar-winning British film-maker Sam Mendes is in talks to direct the next instalment in the James Bond series, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The 23rd 007 film may go into production as early as June, with the aim of a 2011 release.
The project would be Mendes's first proper action film – the director is best known for taut relationship dramas such as his 1999 debut American Beauty, for which he won the Oscars for best film and best director, and last year's Revolutionary Road. However, he has dabbled in more high-octane fare before: on the 2005 Gulf war tale Jarhead, as well as the 2002 gangster flick Road to Perdition.
That last film starred the incumbent Bond, Daniel Craig, in a pivotal role. Craig will return for his »

Mendes, Sam Mendes In Talks To Direct Next Bond Movie
7 hours ago | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
It's a surpirse turn of events, but then no-one saw Marc Forster for Quantum Of Solace coming either. Sam Mendes is in negotiations to direct the next James Bond movie, so far titled Bond 23 because no-one has come up with anything better yet.
This would be the first full-on action movie for the talented helmer, who is best known for more cerebral fare with the likes of American Beauty, A Road To Perdition and the recent beautiful indie flick, Away We Go. However, there was a fair amount of gun-toting and blow-'em-up action in his 2005 Kuwait War drama Jarhead, so it seems he definitely has some of the Bond directorial qualities under his belt.
If the proposed employment goes ahead, Mendes will be working from a script written by Bond regulars Neal Purvisand Robert Wade, along with Frost/Nixon scribe Peter Morgan, and will of course be directing Daniel Craig, »

While Nick Jonas is busy with his side project Nick Jonas and The Administration and Kevin Jonas is embracing his marriage life, Joe Jonas puts his eyes on "Bond 23". The 20-year-old recently told Scotland's Daily Record newspaper that he will do whatever it takes to get a part in the next feature installment of the super spy agent, even if that means playing a baddie.
"I'm willing to read for anything," the former boyfriend of country singer Taylor Swift opened up when talking about his desire to star in the follow-up to "Quantum of Solace". He further explained, "Acting is something I love and I want to do it all. It would be an awesome dream to get a part in a James Bond movie."
As for the reason why he is so keen on to act in the movie, Joe confessed that he and his brothers are fans of the latest 007 depicter, »

Sam Mendes Signed For Bond 23?

Sam Mendes is in negotiations to direct the 23rd installment in the popular James Bond franchise, according to The Hollywood Reporter. News broke just hours ago that the British director was in discussions to direct the pic with Eon heads, Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, despite the well publicized financial troubles of Bond’s parent company, MGM.
According to THR’s sources, production is being fast tracked for the pic, expected to be the third outing for latest Bond, Daniel Craig, with production starting as early as June aiming for a 2011 release date. Sony co-produced and distributed The Quantum of Solace, the most recent Bond film and so are likely contenders to pick up the rights when they come up for sale.
Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are penning the script along with “Frost/Nixon” scribe, Peter Morgan and Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli will reprise production duties.

Sam Mendes To Direct James Bond 23
14 hours ago | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Out of the negative news of MGM financial issues and production delays for the 23rd installment of the James Bond film franchise in recent months, comes a ray of light in the form of what may be very talented Oscar-winning director helming the next Bond movie, tentatively titled Bond 23.
The Heat Vision blog is reporting that British-born director Sam Mendes is in negotiations to direct the next James Bond film and sequel to last year’s Quantum of Solace.
Sam Mendes has a very impressive resume which includes critically-acclaimed hits such as American Beauty, Road to Perdition and Revolutionary Road. Rotten Tomatoes isn’t always the most accurate way to judge movies or those involved in creating them, but I think it’s absolutely noteworthy that Mendes sits with a 100% fresh rating.
While Martin Campbell’s Casino Royale – the essential reboot of the franchise – was widely praised for being »

Sam Mendes To Put The Bland In Bond
14 hours ago | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Well, this isn't very exciting news. Apparently San Mendes is in talks to direct the next James Bond film. I have nothing against sam, but his movies bore me to death. Away We Go is an exercise in patience, nothing happened in Jarhead, and everything else he's done has been nowhere near the action genre. Does that make him the perfect candidate then? Or the worst? The trades has more: It's Mendes. Sam Mendes. The British helmer is in negotiations to direct the 23rd installment of the venerable James Bond franchise. Production is being fast-tracked and could begin as early as June with an eye toward a 2011 release. Plans for the film are moving forward despite a possible sale of MGM. Sony co-produced and distributed the most recent installment of the 007 series with MGM. Bond regulars Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are writing, along with "Frost/Nixon" scribe Peter Morgan. »
Exclusive: Sam Mendes About To Be Hired As "Consultant" On Bond #23
15 hours ago | Deadline Hollywood | See recent Deadline Hollywood news »
As you know, the James Bond filmmaker Eon Productions operates with great autonomy and secrecy. I've just learned that producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson are in final negotiations with CAA for director Sam Mendes to come on as a consultant to the 23rd James Bond film (as yet untitled). That's right -- not as the director, yet. This is for the film now in pre-production for release in 2011 whose story begins after Quantum Of Solace and again stars Daniel Craig. The actor has been telling folks that filming begins in late 2010. I hear Craig is "insisting" on Mendes' hiring because the actor [...] »

Scoop This: 'Bond Director', 'Dune' Director, and Producers' Awards Go Heavy on Sci-Fi
15 hours ago | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
Sam Mendes to Direct Next James Bond Film? Shortly after word hit yesterday that the next James Bond film was possibly being delayed due to financial problems, The Hollywood Reporter now tells us that Sam Mendes is in talks to helm the 23rd James Bond film. Mendes, of course, is known for directing American Beauty, Revolutionary Road and this past summer's Away We Go, so obviously this is a little bit of a departure for the guy. In fact, aside from Jarhead, we really haven't gotten to see Mendes unleash some balls-to-the-wall action… and even though I should be reluctant, part of me really digs this choice. Mendes could help put back the subtle nuance that was missing from Quantum of Solace – perhaps give us a story where we feel something (like Casino Royale), instead of...

Dune remake reportedly gets new director
17 hours ago | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
A New director is reported to have signed on for the planned remake of Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel Dune, following the departure of Peter Berg in October.
Berg became involved with the project in March 2008. His exit came as a surprise because a month beforehand he had confirmed he was still on board, amid speculation that Twilight star Robert Pattinson was in line for the lead role of Paul Atreides.
Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Doomsday) and District 9 filmmaker Neill Blomkamp were rumoured to be the contenders to step into the hotseat, although the latter has made clear his aversion to big-budget spectacles.
Now, according to Entertainment Weekly, Paramount has hired Taken director Pierre Morel to get things moving again on the new Dune film.
The French filmmaker apparently wants to make a very faithful adaptation of Herbert's sprawling epic. Paramount production chief Adam Goodman has »

Updated: Sam Mendes to Direct Bond 23
17 hours ago | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
In a surprise move by MGM, Sam Mendes is in discussions to direct the next untitled James Bond movie currently being referred to as simply Bond 23.
The announcement, via THR’s Heat Vision Blog, refutes claims that the 23rd James Bond movie is on hold due to the sale of MGM. In fact, production is on the “fast track” and could begin as soon as June 2010 for release sometime in 2011 (my guess is November, where they’ve had recent success).
Update: Nikki Finke learned that MGM’s financial situation is playing a factor in officially signing Mendes. Hiring a director to Bond would “trigger a payment from MGM,” which is nearly bankrupt at the moment, so he’s being brought in as a “consultant” for now with the first shot at directing once the script is complete.
Daniel Craig had previously agreed to return as Bond. Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are writing, »

Sam Mendes To Direct Bond 23

File under ‘whoa – did Not see that one coming’. The Hollywood Reporter is saying that Sam Mendes is the surprise choice to helm the as yet-untitled Bond 23.Mendes is currently in negotiations with Eon big cheeses, Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, to direct the movie, which is ploughing ahead despite uncertainty over the sale of MGM, Bond’s parent company.If he signs on the line that is dotted, production could well begin as early as June, for a release in 2011.Mendes, of course, would mark a return to a British director after Eon plumped for the first ‘foreign’ Bond director, the German-born Swiss, Marc Forster, for Quantum Of Solace. While that movie became the second most successful Bond movie ever, with a worldwide gross of $586 million, it wasn’t warmly received by critics and hardcore Bond fans, making a return for Forster unlikely.But we still didn’t see Mendes coming. »

"Taken" director Pierre Morel is set to take over the directing reigns of the "Dune" remake at Paramount Pictures reports Entertainment Weekly. Peter Berg ("Hancock") was originally attached to direct but dropped off the project in October. A new scribe will now be hired to incorporate Morel's vision of the project into the current script by Josh Zetumer ("Quantum Of Solace") which is expected to be a very faithful adaptation of Frank Herbert's 1965 sci-fi novel classic. Kevin Misher and Richard Rubinstein are producing. »
Next James Bond movie hit by sale of debt-ridden studio
18 hours ago | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Anyone wondering what might happen in the next James Bond adventure, in particular what writer Peter Morgan meant when he said the next storyline was "shocking", may be in for a long wait.
All bets are off for Daniel Craig's 007 with the news from producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli that Bond 23 - as it's known at present - is on ice until the sale of stricken studio MGM is completed.
MGM is the distributor of the Bond franchise for Eon productions and so the odds of another movie anytime soon are unclear until its financial woes are resolved.
Pre-production on the next Bond outing has now been halted while the studio's future is secured, with takeover bids due in the next few weeks.
Asked about the next movie, Wilson told Total Film: "Our timeline's a little up in the air what with the situation at MGM, »

Sam Mendes to Direct the 23rd James Bond Film
18 hours ago | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
I guess MGM wasn't bluffing when they set out to dispel the rumors that the next James Bond film would be delayed due to the studio's rather public financial woes. The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision blog is now indicating that American Beauty and Away We Go director Sam Mendes is in negotiations to bring the legendary spy to the big screen for a 23rd outing. THR's assertion is that production will move forward on the untitled Bond film regardless of their current For Sale status as a studio.
Writing duties currently lay in the hands of Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, both of whom were behind the word processor for Martin Campbell's Casino Royale and Marc Forster's Quantum of Solace, along with British screenwriter Peter Morgan, a man best-known for penning political dramas along the lines of The Queen and Frost/Nixon. Aside from Morgan and the now 'in talks' Sam Mendes, »

Sam Mendes To Direct Bond 23?
19 hours ago | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
The received wisdom within the James Bond camp has always been to avoid 'name" directors, whose previous form and the attendant expectations might overshadow the basic nuts and bolts business of the guy with the Walther Ppk and the dry martinis. But that rule may be about to be bent, as reports are coming in that Sam Mendes is in talks to direct the 23rd Bond movie.Mendes, you'll need no reminding, is the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind the dramatic likes of American Beauty, Revolutionary Road and last year's thoroughly wonderful Away We Go, and is not known for his action chops. Even Jarhead is about the boring bits of the Gulf War rather than the fighting, although Road to Perdition has some significant moments. Is this an indication that part three of the rebooted series is reigning back from the balls-to-the-wall mayhem of Quantum of Solace? Or, as has often »
