Rumor Of The Day: Olivia Wilde And Freida Pinto For Bond 23

Olivia Wilde, meanwhile, I rumored to be courting an appearance as “a double-crossing UN worker based in Afghanistan,” but there is no substantiation to that one, either.

This all seems like foolish talk because Bond 23 is in nascent stages. While we’ve heard that Sam Mendes has been tapped to direct the film, as we understand it there is no real movement at this point, thanks to the financial trouble currently clouding MGM’s future. Granted, we should be hearing about the results of the MGM asset auction literally any minute now, after which a flood of actual Bond news may follow. But until we get anything official out of the MGM sale and ensuing news about Bond, treat any rumors with extreme skepticism.
