We're just about seven weeks away from the opening of the next Bond film, Skyfall, and it looks like Sony and EON are wasting no time getting the 24th film rolling. So much so in fact that they may have already snagged their next villain.
According to "The Express," producers are looking at none other than Benedict Cumberbatch. I have to say I love the pick. Not only has Cumberbatch proven he's a great actor (check out his performance in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy--simply phenomenal) but he's got some bonafide hits coming your way next year. Cumberbatch plays the main villain in May's Star Trek Into the Darkness and will voice one of the most famous dragons in literary history, Smaug, in next year's The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
A dragon and a "Star Trek" villain? How could this guy not make a good Bond villain? I'm sold.
Sony and EON want to start production on another Bond film next year with a projected release date of 2014. Nothing like making up for the four long years between Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.
