Ah, here's something possibly quite charming: FROM PRADA TO NADA is the whimsical tittle of the Latina version of Jane Austen's classic novel "Sense and Sensibility"
coming out this January. Starring Camila Belle and Alexa Vega it follows two spoiled sisters when they are left penniless after the sudden death of their father. Forced to move in with their estranged aunt in East Los Angeles, they end up in a fish-out-of-water story in which the girls will ultimately find romance, as well as love for their culture. Must admit I love the tittle :)
Now this is quite strange and not at all shocking as they told us it would be: the host of the 83rd Academy Awards next February will be Anne Hathaway and James Franco. They will co-host the ceremony as the refreshingly young stars in that role. I don't know what to think about this. Your impressions?
Warner has announced yesterday their new multiplatform series AIM HIGH about a young man (Jackson Rathbone) who is leading a double life - juggling his studies by day and serving as a government agent by night. He is one of the country's 64 highly trained teenage operatives. When he's not handling international spies, Nick is dreaming of Amanda Miles (Aimee Teegarden), the most popular girl in school who's cool, intelligent and very alluring.
Yesterday I showed you some new pictures from HBO's upcoming epic fantasy TV series GAME OF THRONES, and now here is the brand new trailer. Starring Sean Bean and Lena Headey, the series will follow the battles and intrigues of seven royal families fighting for the mystical land of Westeros.
WENTWORTH MILLER IN HISTORICAL DRAMA "MARY MOTHER OF CHRIST" AND IN HISTORICAL THRILLER "THE MOURNING PORTRAIT". 2 NEW PICS FROM HBO'S "GAME OF THRONES"
For all my dear ladies, here are great new pictures of Wentworth Miller (HOLLYWOOD SPY'S best TV hunk) in the television commercial for Chevrolet Cruze. Beside shooting adds, Wentworth Miller is active in the writing department as well. You already know that he has studied English language and literature at college, and currently one of his screenplays, STOKER, is in preproduction over at Fox. To be directed by Asian director Park Chan Wook (OLD BOY, SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGEANCE, THIRST) the film will follow a girl named India whose father mysteriously dies and then her estranged uncle comes to live with her and her mother, which is when people start to go missing in her hometown and India discovers that her uncle may be the cause.
Wentworth Miller might also appear in MARY MOTHER OF CHRIST, a historical drama in which he or Jonathan Rhys Meyers might portray the dual role of Gabriel and Lucifer beside Camila Belle as Mary, Al Pacino as Herod and Peter O'Toole as Symeon. It will be a dramatic rendering of the key events in Mary's life leading up to the birth of Jesus and the holy family's journey from Egypt to Nazareth following the death of King Herod. Julia Ormond and Jessica Langue are also among the possible cast members.
Next year, Wentworth Miller will also join Dermot Mulroney in a highly unusual historical thriller THE MOURNING PORTRAIT set in the 1920's in Appalachia, where a mysterious traveler rides into a small town advertising his services as a photographer of the dead. He immortalizes the recently deceased wife of a local bootlegger but the locals grow suspicious of the photographer’s macabre demeanor and other-worldly life force especially after the bootlegger's daughter disappears.
To end the boring Monday, here are two new pictures from next year's epic television series GAME OF THRONES which will premiere on HBO in spring. The first one shows Sansa played by Sophie Turner while the other one shows Ned played by Sean Bean. HOLLYWOOD SPY will show you the new TV spot for the epic show tomorrow.

STUNNING PICS OF MICHELLE WILLIAMS AS MARILYN MONROE IN THE STAR STUDDED "MY WEEK WITH MARILYN"
Here's another great picture of ultra talented Michelle Williams in the lead role in the upcoming drama MY WEEK WITH MARILYN which describes the time when Hollywood's favourite blond escaped the shackles of her movie career and embraced British life.
Directed by young Simon Curtis the film features an almost breathtaking cast: Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe, Eddie Redmayne, Kenneth Branagh as sir Laurence Olivier, Judi Dench, Dougray Scott as Marilyn's husband Arthur Miller, Dominic Cooper, Emma Watson, Derek Jacobi, and Julia Ormond as Vivien Leigh.
In the early summer of 1956, 23-year-old Colin Clark, just down from Oxford and determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant on the set of The Prince and the Showgirl, the film that famously united Sir Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe who was also on honeymoon with her new husband, the playwright Arthur Miller. Nearly 40 years on, his diary account "The Prince, the Showgirl and Me" was published, but one week was missing, and this was published some years later as "My Week with Marilyn".
The film tells the story of that week. When Arthur Miller leaves England, the coast is clear for Colin to introduce Marilyn to some of the pleasures of British life: an idyllic week in which he escorted a Monroe desperate to get away from her retinue of Hollywood hangers-on and the pressures of work.
Michelle Williams told THE DAILY MAIL that she didn't want to accept the role in the beginning: But I knew I wouldn't be able to resist, eventually. Physically and vocally, everything about her is different from me. I've kind of gone to school and had teachers to help me understand Marilyn, so I could project an essence of her. When I first approached the part, I thought that there were three, even four parts to -Marilyn.
MY WEEK WITH MARILYN is out sometime in 2012.

ANNE HATHAWAY MIGHT BE LOIS LANE IN THE NEW "SUPERMAN". "TANGLED" BREAKS THANKSGIVING OPENING RECORDS! ANNA FARIS MIGHT GO HUNTING GHOSTS IN "GHOSTBUSTERS III"
HOLLYWOOD SPY informed you earlier this week that Matthew Goode is Zack Snyder's number one choice for the role of Clark Kent in his reboot of SUPERMAN according to rumors,and here's a rumor on the female lead: Anne Hathaway might get the role of Lois Lane according to "SlashFilm". Another piece of news that everybody is talking about is that Snyder and Warner Bross. want to make Superman's costume totally CGI like the one Ryan Reynolds will wear in GREEN LANTERN.
Dan Akroyd has apparently finished the script for GHOSTBUSTERS III which will see the original Ghostbusters team handing over the reins to younger replacements. Ivan Reitman is supposed to direct the sci-fi comedy,and according to first rumors Anna Faris has been offered the role of one of the young new Ghostbusters, but that might and might not happen since her representative said to "Entertainment Weekly" that the rumor isn't true. We shall see, we shall see.
TANGLED, which is currently in cinemas as Disney's 50th animated film, has managed to earn $11.5 million on its first day of release yesterday, which is the highest Thanksgiving holiday opening day gross ever according to "MovieWeb". Congrats to the record breaker, I'm sure many of you have taken your families to see it this week.
And you can check out the music video from the upcoming adventure THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE VOYAGE OF DAWN TREADER. Young Joe McElderry (the winner of THE X FACTOR) sings the main theme to the film "Someone Wake Me Up" and the video features some stunning images from the movie which premieres this December.

1ST POSTER FOR SPOOKY SF FILM "APOLLO 18". MARK WAHLBERG TAKES THE LEAD IN "UNCHARTED: DRAKE'S FORTUNE". CRAZY TRAILER FOR DISNEY'S "MARS NEEDS MOMS"
Here's the first poster for the new sf horror APOLLO 18 which is coming out next March. The spooky film will rely on found footage to tell its story.
The plot will revolve around recently discovered video shot by the crew of an abandoned moon mission from the early 70s. NASA claims that the mission never took place, but this new discovery reveals the existence of alien life and explains why NASA has hidden the footage for all of these years.
Ah, here's another film ruined by bad casting at the very beginning: Mark Wahlberg will take the lead role in UNCHARTED: DRAKE'S FORTUNE, the adaptation of the popular video game about a treasure hunter Nate Drake who believes he has learned the whereabouts of El Dorado, the fabled South American golden city, from a cursed golden statue. The search becomes competitive
when a rival hunter joins the fray, then mutated descendants of Spaniards and Nazis begin attacking those hoping to learn the treasure's true secrets. Wahlberg might be joined by Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci in this action adventure. The whole film would've been so much different if they took Nathan Fillion for the lead role :(
You can also check out the crazy trailer for Disney's MARS NEED MOMS animated film in which nine-year-old Milo finds out just how much he needs his mom when she's nabbed by Martians who plan to steal her mom-ness for their own young. Milo embarks on a quest to save his mom - a wild adventure that involves stowing away on a spaceship, navigating an elaborate, multi-level planet and taking on the alien nation and their leader. With the help of a tech-savvy, underground earthman named Gribble and a rebel Martian girl called Ki, Milo just might find his way back to his mom - in more ways than one. The film is out next Spring.
And HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all my dear readers, visitors and friends over in U.S.A. HOLLYWOOD SPY is thankful for having you :)

CHRIS BALE IS HOLLYWOOD SPY'S FAVOURITE CHRIS :) NEW POLL - WHO SHOULD BE THE NEW CATWOMAN?
The time has come to pronounce HOLLYWOOD SPY'S FAVOURITE CHRIS among the actors, and as expected it's Christian Bale (34%), who stole the victory by just three votes more from Chris Evans (32%). Young Chris Colfer took the third place with 16% of your votes.
I'm sure you will agree with me that Christian Bale is one of those actors who have both charisma and the profound acting talent. He's one of the few actors who can do a breathtaking, groundbreaking dramatic performance (THE MACHINIST, I'M NOT THERE, THE NEW WORLD), and then show of his muscles in some action packed blockbuster (REIGN OF FIRE, EQUILIBRIUM, THE DARK KNIGHT, TERMINATOR SALVATION) without ruining his integrity. Most people still remember him as AMERICAN PSYCHO but his bestachievement probably is his first role, played when he was yet a small small kid in Steven Spielberg's legendary war drama EMPIRE OF THE SUN. People often forget that he is actually British, which just explains his acting talent :) Did you know that he was supposed to play Leo De Caprio's role in TITANIC but didn't get it because the producers didn't want a British actor beside Kate Winslet? Believe it or not, he was never, I repeat NEVER, nominated for an Oscar nor for a Golden Globe!!! Not even for THE MACHINIST in which he lost 63 pounds giving the most tremendous performance.
Chris Evans is officially the most attractive man in Hollywood. He is always charming and likable in his roles. Having the flawless body sometimes really is a burden for him since people tend to forget he's a good actor as well (LONDON, THE LOSS OF A TEARDROP DIAMOND, THE NANNY DIARIES). But action films really are his trade mark (THE FANTASTIC FOUR, PUSH, CELLULAR, SUNSHINE), and he's the new CAPTAIN AMERICA (did you know that he will get just $300,000 for that role?). He played together with Jessica Biel two times (CELLULAR, LONDON) and she was his real girlfriend as well before she left him for Justin Timberlake. He's the worlds hunkiest vegetarian :)
Now, since we've voted out our favourite Chris, let's see who would be your favourite Cat :) Since Catwoman might and might not appear in the DARK KNIGHT RISES and since she might or might not get her new separate film, whom would you like to see in the role? Who would be THE BEST CATWOMAN? Here are some purrrrrfect actresses which posses some feline magic about them: Salma Hayek, Nicole Scherzinger, Charlize Theron, Blake Lively, Ashley Judd, Eva Longoria, Vanessa Marcil and Olivia Wilde. And don't tell me some of them are too old for the role because the years just make them more purrrfect. You can vote as much as you like next two weeks. This is just part one, part two will come in December ;)

MATTHEW GOODE MIGHT BE THE NEW "SUPERMAN"! MALIN AKERMAN TO PLAY THE PORN STAR IN "INFERNO". 1ST POSTER AND TEASER FOR "SPARTACUS GODS OF THE ARENA"
Now, everybody who's been a longer time with HOLLYWOOD SPY knows how much I love Matthew Goode (LEAP YEAR, A SINGLE MAN, MATCH POINT, he was even proclaimed HOLLYWOOD SPY'S BEST BRITISH LAD ), so these are some great news to me: in the current mania around the casting for Zack Snyder's reboot of SUPERMAN, the talented and super charming British actor is apparently the new contender for the role of Clark Kent according to "Movienewz".
As you remember, Matthew already worked with Snyder, giving an amazing performance in WATCHMEN. In that film he portrayed a similar hero (Ozymandias) with the dual identity and plus is tall enough and has stunning acting talent. This could continue the trend of British talents getting the super hero roles after Andrew Garfield got the role of Spider-man.
And here's the part when I post a story on some unpromising film just as an excuse to thrill you with some hot pics - this time the pics of lovely Malin Akerman who starred with the above mentioned Matthew Goode in WATCHMEN as the beautiful Silk Spectre. She will now replace the infamous Lindsay Lohan in INFERNO, the biopic on the famous porn star Linda Lovelace. Well, we've seen that gorgeous Malin doesn't have a problem with sexy scenes and that she also possesses a certain dramatic potential, so lets believe in her, lets believe that she will bring a stunning portrayal of the disturbing life and work of Lovelace.
And here's the first poster for the upcoming prequel SPARTACUS GODS OF THE ARENA, which is coming to Starz next January. The short TV series will have Dustin Clare in the lead role of the original Champion of the House of Batiatus - Gannicus who lived in a more ruthless time before Spartacus' arrival where honor was just finding its way into the arena. Filling up the space before the second season of SPARTACUS BLOOD AND SAND, this show will also star John Hannah as Quintus Batiatus and Lucy Lawless as his wife alongside Peter Mensah as Doctore and Manu Bennett as Crixus. Check out the new teaser for SPARTACUS GODS OF THE ARENA.

WILL TERESA PALMER BE TALIA AL GHUL IN "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES"? ABC MAKING A CIVIL WAR TV SERIES.SUPER EXCITING TRAILER FOR TIME TRAVELLING FILM "SOURCE CODE"
Ultra gorgeous Australian actress Teresa Palmer was set to play the role of Talia al Ghul (the mother of Batman's son, Damien, and the daughter of his archenemy, Ra's al Ghul) in JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA movie which is on indefinite hold now, but new rumors state that since there will be a female villain in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, it could be Talia and Teresa could get the role which was meant for her. Speaking to "MovieWeb", Teresa admitted that she did let the producers know that she's interested, but that they are probably searching for a more popular actress. If she gets the role she said she would do it with a Russian accent :)) Mmm, super sexy!
Remember the hugely popular NORTH AND SOUTH TV series? Well, it seems ABC is planning a new TV series set in the similar period - the Civil War.
According to "Variety", Carlton Cuse, the producer of LOST, and Randall Wallace (SECRETARIAT) will make a pilot for this "event" series which will take place in Virginia during the CIVIL WAR. So, lots of drama, action, battles, and stunning costumes.
And here's a poster for the film which will cheer up spring 2011 for us. HOP is the upcoming film about "the world's worst houseguest" in which Russell Brand plays an Easter Bunny who is accidentally hit by the car of an unemployed slacker played by dashing James Marsden (X-MEN, 27 DRESSES) who is then forced to take the holiday creature in until he recovers. Coming from the creators of DESPICABLE ME, HOP will also star Hugh Laurie :)
You can also check out the first trailer for SOURCE CODE, the new sf action flick in which Jake Gyllenhaal wakes up in the body of an unknown man and discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In an assignment unlike any he's ever known, he learns he's part of a government experiment called the SOURCE CODE, a program that enables him to cross over into another man's identity in the last 8 minutes of his life. With a second, much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, he re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack. Premiering next April, the film also stars Michelle Monaghan and Vera Farmiga.

According to "Variety", Carlton Cuse, the producer of LOST, and Randall Wallace (SECRETARIAT) will make a pilot for this "event" series which will take place in Virginia during the CIVIL WAR. So, lots of drama, action, battles, and stunning costumes.
And here's a poster for the film which will cheer up spring 2011 for us. HOP is the upcoming film about "the world's worst houseguest" in which Russell Brand plays an Easter Bunny who is accidentally hit by the car of an unemployed slacker played by dashing James Marsden (X-MEN, 27 DRESSES) who is then forced to take the holiday creature in until he recovers. Coming from the creators of DESPICABLE ME, HOP will also star Hugh Laurie :)
You can also check out the first trailer for SOURCE CODE, the new sf action flick in which Jake Gyllenhaal wakes up in the body of an unknown man and discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In an assignment unlike any he's ever known, he learns he's part of a government experiment called the SOURCE CODE, a program that enables him to cross over into another man's identity in the last 8 minutes of his life. With a second, much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, he re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack. Premiering next April, the film also stars Michelle Monaghan and Vera Farmiga.
SPECTACULAR TRAILER FOR MEDIEVAL EPIC "SEASON OF THE WITCH". SPOOKY TRAILER FOR "THE RITE" WITH ANTHONY HOPKINS
Last week I presented you a cool poster for SEASON OF THE WITCH, and now you can view the breathtaking and spectacular trailer for this action packed epic.
In the film, Nicolas Cage stars as a 14th century Crusader who returns with his comrade (Ron Perlman) to a homeland devastated by the Black Plague. A beleaguered church, deeming sorcery the culprit of the plague, commands the two knights to transport an accused witch (Claire Foy) to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the pestilence. A priest, a grieving knight, an itinerant swindler and a headstrong youth who can only dream of becoming a knight join the mission troubled by mythically hostile wilderness and fierce contention over the fate of the girl.
When the embattled party arrives at the abbey, a horrific discovery jeopardizes the knight’s pledge to ensure the girl fair treatment, and pits them against an inexplicably powerful and destructive force. The film is out next January.
You can also check out the spooky poster and trailer for the new religious thriller THE RITE which comes out next January and stars Anthony Hopkins.
The film will follow skeptical seminary student Michael Kovak (Colin O’Donoghue), who reluctantly attends exorcism school at the Vatican. While in Rome, he meets an unorthodox priest, Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins), who introduces him to the darker side of his faith. This supernatural thriller will uncover the devil’s reach to even one of the holiest places on Earth.The film also has other amazing mature actors in its cast: CiarĂ¡n Hinds, Rutger Hauer, Franco Nero ... The tag line of the film says - you can only defeat it when you believe!
And a big congrats to our Michael Malone from MAY CONTAIN NUTS who has just signed a publishing contract for his debut crime novel "Blood Tears"!!!

LOTS OF GREAT NEW PICTURES FROM HBO'S EPIC TV SERIES "GAME OF THRONES" BASED ON GEORGE R.R. MARTIN'S FANTASY SAGA
"Entertainment Weekly" has just published a lot of new pictures from next year's most anticipated epic TV series GAME OF THRONES. Based on the famous fantasy saga by George R.R. Martin, this new TV series will depict a stunning mythical land of Westeros in which seven noble families fight for power. The primary families are the Stark, Lannister, and Baratheon families. Robert Baratheon, King of Westeros, asks his old friend Eddard Stark to serve as his chief advisor. Eddard, suspecting that his predecessor had been murdered, accepts so that he can investigate further. It turns out more than one family is plotting to take the throne. The Queen's family, the Lannisters, may be hatching an incestuous plot to take control.
Across the sea, the last surviving members of the previously deposed ruling family, the Targaryens, are also plotting a return to power. The conflict between these families and others, including the Greyjoys, the Tullys, the Arryns, and the Tyrells, leads to war. Meanwhile, in the north, an ancient evil awakens. Amidst war and the political confusion, a brotherhood of misfits, The Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and the horrors beyond. The cast is lead by Sean Bean, Jason Momoa, Mark Addy and Lena Headey.
Earlier this year we've heard rumors that the producers were absolutely amazed by the pilot episodes, and that the programme will be full of action, epic battles, stunning sets, thrilling costumes and that there will also be a lot of steamy erotic scenes :) You can also remind yourselves of the GAME OF THRONES teaser trailer I've posted back in September.

BREATHTAKING 1ST TRAILER FOR "RED RIDING HOOD". CHARMING 1ST TRAILER FOR "YOUR HIGHNESS" AND STUNNING 1ST TRAILER FOR "COWBOYS AND ALIENS"
Hollywood is crazy, but we knew that already, didn't we? I mean for months they give us just a few good trailers and then they release a mass of new ones in just one day: yesterday you've seen the GREEN LANTERN trailer, and now prepare for three new ones:
I've written before about the upcoming fantasy horror RED RIDING HOOD, in which Amanda Seyfried plays a beautiful young girl who decides to run away from her village with a boy she loves because her parents want her to marry someone else. But there's a little problem: a werewolf prowls the dark forest surrounding their village. The people of the village have to seek help from a famed werewolf hunter (Gary Oldman) , and he warns them that the wolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them. As the death toll rises with each moon, the girl begins to suspect that the werewolf could be someone she loves. The film also stars Virginia Madsen and Julie Christie, and you can check out the first breathtaking trailer:
Earlier this week HOLLYWOOD SPY wrote about the upcoming COWBOYS AND ALIENS film set in the Wild West in which the cowboys have to join Apache warriors and outlaws in order to fight against aliens who came right from the sky and started abducting innocent people from their desert town. Coming out next summer, this unusual mix of cowboy and alien movies stars Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Keith Caradine ...
I've also written about YOUR HIGHNESS before, and you seemed to like the medieval comedy which will be released next April starring: James Franco, Damian Lewis, Justin Theroux, Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel and Danny McBride. You can now check out the first fun and naughty trailer.

WARNER BROS. WANTS KARL URBAN AS BRUCE WAYNE IN THEIR NEW AND SECRET "BATMAN" TV SHOW. GERARD BUTLER TO GO ON A SF ADVENTURE IN "AFTERBURN". THE FIRST "GREEN LANTERN" TRAILER
Here's a great piece of news for all the Butlermaniacs among my readers (and I know there are thousands of you): HOLLYWOOD SPY's best British gent, Gerard Butler is negotiating to take the lead role in AFTERBURN, the sf adventure based on Red5 Comics graphic novels which are set against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic Earth whose Eastern Hemisphere was destroyed by a massive solar flare. The story centers on treasure hunters aiming to extract such items as the Mona Lisa amid competition from rival hunters, mutants and pirates. Methinks, Gerry Berry is the right man for this kind of business!
One of the hottest rumors yesterday says that after the finish of THE DARK KNIGHT saga in cinemas, Warner Bros. is planning to move Batman onto the small screen in a new weekly BATMAN TV SHOW which would revolve around billionaire Bruce Wayne
and his further adventures in Gotham City as The Dark Knight. The show would also see Joker's return to Gotham. Now, the hottest news is that Warner Bros. apparently wants Karl Urban (HOLLYWOOD SPY'S most underrated actor) or a similar type of actor in the role of Bruce Wayne. The show, off course, won't happen before the THE DARK KNIGHT RISES premieres in 2012.
And it's finally here, the treat of the day - GREEN LANTERN trailer has been officially released yesterday. Tell me what you think about it. I adore the costume :)

COOL NEW POSTER FOR DANIEL CRAIG'S AND HARRISON FORD'S "COWBOYS AND ALIENS". WILL DAVID HAYE, WORLD BOXING CHAMPION, BE THE NEW AND BLACK JAMES BOND?
Check out the first poster for next summer's fantasy western COWBOYS AND ALIENS. Starring Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde, Jon Favreau and Keith Carradine, the film follows a stranger (David Craig) who stumbles into a desert town called Absolution which doesn't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on
its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford). It's a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force.
With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents-townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors-all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.
And since we've mentioned Daniel Craig, it's interesting that he might not be in a new JAMES BOND film. Due to his busy schedule already filled with new projects, MGM is currently considering a replacement since they want to start production next year. The latest one to actively and loudly pursue the lead role is no one else but David Haye, a famous boxer and a world heavyweight champion, who wants to become the first black JAMES BOND. According to "MovieWeb" this is a similar situation with the one from this summer when Donald Glover wanted to become the first black SPIDERMAN, but he lost the role to Andrew Garfield. I'm not sure about you, but somehow I think Haye as Bond would announce the total downfall of the whole franchise. No elegance, no acting skills, no dashing charms - he's just nowhere near 007.
