IMDB updated Rachel´s profile on their website and added the upcoming movie “Bond 23” to her filmography. It seems like she is really going to be part of the movie and it wasn´t just gossip. Co-stars are of course Daniel Craig and Judie Dench and it also seems that Sam Mendes, Rachel´s ex fiance, will be the director of the movie. It´s in pre-prodution status and release date is set for 2011. These are the latest updates on IMDB. I will keep you updated in the future.

Everything at MGM is pretty much on hold until the company gets sold, but that doesn’t mean movies like James Bond and The Hobbit won’t happen. They just may take a little longer to get done. And while actual production may be on hold, that doesn’t mean these films’ producers aren’t planning their next step, so that once things are go, they’ll be off and running. Our sources say in the case of the 23rd James Bond movie, they may even be thinking about casting, which would explain the flurry of Bond girl rumors which have been flying around. While this rumor involves a girl, it’s definitely not another Bond girl rumor.

We’ve heard that Rachel Weisz could be involved in Bond 23. In the past she’s joked about becoming a Bond girl, and though she’s certainly beautiful, casting an actress of her caliber as yet another Bond nookie babe seems like kind of a waste. But Weisz is actually friends with Daniel Craig (in fact they’re working together on the upcoming movie Dream House) and in the past she had a personal relationship with would-be Bond 23 director Sam Mendes. All Bond girl kidding aside, she has before expressed real interest in doing a Bond movie with Craig. So why not give her something substantive in the movie, something that won’t reduce her to being 007’s latest conquest? Why not let her play the villain?

Our source says that’s exactly what they’re discussing behind the scenes of Bond 23. In fact, they’re considering Weisz to play the head of Quantum, the secret organization responsible for all the bad guy activity in the last two films. More than just another Bond babe, she’d be the mastermind pulling the strings behind everything that’s happened in Daniel Craig’s Bond movies so far, and the architect of James Bond’s suffering.

While the Bond franchise has had female villains before, they’ve never been much more than henchmen. Famke Janseen is fantastic as Xenia Onatopp in GoldenEye, but she’s a follower, not a criminal mastermind. Weisz would be the first woman to take on such a role in the Bond universe, and I’d say it’s about time.

Fans of Rachel Weisz, the English actress who won an Oscar in 2006 for her role in “The Constant Gardener,” will be pleased to know she is looking for more theater projects.

Talking to Speakeasy on Sunday after winning the best-actress prize at London’s Laurence Olivier theater awards for her role in “A Streetcar Named Desire,” Weisz said: “I am waiting to be offered a role in plays.”

She recalled how she started off in theater when she was in college going around trying to get people to come and see her show. “We were really happy if five people showed up,” she said speaking to reporters at London’s iconic Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane. “So this [theater] is where I began.”

The actress’s portrayal of Blanche DuBois in the Tennessee Williams play has been praised by critics. She also said she is working with Daniel Craig in Toronto in the Jim Sheridan thriller “Dream House”.
