Lea Seydoux Reportedly Cast as Female Lead for BOND 24!
French actress Lea Seydoux (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol) has reportedly landed the Bond Girl role in James Bond 24, according to a scoop by The Daily Mail.
The aforementioned site claims that the 29-year old actress will be undergoing a series of costume, makeup, and screen tests so that director Sam Mendes, together with the producers, would be able to determine her final look for the yet untitled Bond film.
“The Bond 24 storyline originally called for an actress of Scandinavian origin, but that idea was dropped for one with French ooh-la-la,” the site reports. Furthermore, they add that the initial phase for the film’s production stage will occur at November.
Aside from Ghost Protocol, Seydoux’s filmography include Inglourious Basterds, Blue is the Warmest Color, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Midnight in Paris, and Robin Hood.
Bond 24 will begin filming this December under the supervision of Sam Mendes. No dates were given still regarding its premiere.
