The Dragon's News Update

Ladies and gents, our favorite coin-tossing villain is slated to have a starring role in BOND 23.  No, not Harvey/Two-Face.  All right, our second favorite coin-tossing villain.  Mr. Anton Chigurh himself, Javier Bardem!

Deadline posted the news yesterday that Bardem was offered a high profile role in the upcoming Bond flick.  He hasn't accepted yet, so nothing is official, but let me just say that this news makes me more excited than Michael Jackson in Toys 'R Us.

I'm sure Bardem is pretty stoked with how busy he has become.  Hell, he was offered a high-profile role in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, and he turned it down.  How awesome do you have to be to have a role like that offered to you and you say: "Nah, I've got better things to do."?

However, I have to wonder...with the news that Rachel Weisz was wanted for this movie as well, have they scrapped that idea and replaced her with Bardem?  Or are both of them going to be in the fray.  Hmm...something to think about.
