James Bond 24 News, Update: Official Bond 24 Announcement Livestream Today, Bond Villain to Be Revealed
The team behind the upcoming 24th 007 film will be revealing the final title and cast online via a live stream from the 007 Stage at Pinewood Studios Thursday.
"The live stream will be hosted at http://www.007.com from 11 a.m. GMT (3 a.m. PST) on Thursday. The event is being staged by Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for Eon Prods., MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment," the site reported.
As stated, the "traditional press conference" would unveil the key details for Bond 24's production including the title, the cast and characters, and "all the bedrock details" about the forthcoming installment.
Initial reports however indicated that production for the still untitled sequel will begin on Dec. 8 with the confirmed reprisal of actor Daniel Craig as the agent James Bond. Alongside with him are Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw and Ralph Fiennes who are expected to once again play as Miss Moneypenny, agent Q, and agent M, respectively.
Further cast rumors that came out earlier this week suggested that Andrew Scott, known as the supervillain Moriarty in popular detective drama "Sherlock," could be in the film as well.
According to Mirror.co.uk, the 38-year-old actor will play "another baddie" in the highly anticipated 007 flick alongside another would-be villain to be starred by Christoph Waltz.
"Andrew was hand-picked for a role in the new Bond movie after film bosses loved his star turn in Sherlock," an insider for the publication was quoted as saying. "Casting directors thought he was perfect to play a baddie and they wanted to use his existing Sherlock profile -- and amp it up to the next level."
"James Bond" 24 will be made under the direction of Sam Mendes and is set to hit the theaters on October 2015.
