Diddy Spends $750,000 To Be James Bond

How much would you spend to be in with a chance to play James Bond? If you’re Diddy, you are willing to spend $750,000 in hopes to be the first black James Bond.

Diddy apparently flew by private jet to the South of France to film an audition tape, right beside the Casino Royale. In one of the scenes, Diddy is wearing a tuxedo and surrounded by his very own Bond girls … in a helicopter.

Speaking about the tape, he says “this is my audition tape for the next James Bond. There is a black President and it’s time for there to be a black Bond. God bless.”

He has already sent the tape to James Bond executives, but he apparently has competition from rapper Akon and Jamie Foxx who both want to be the new Bond once Daniel Craig leaves his role.

Diddy didn’t completely waste $750,000 on his James Bond audition though, he is also going to use the footage as part of the promotion for his new fragrance, I Am King.

It must be nice, but it sucks for upcoming actors who dreamed of being James Bond.

Gemma Arterton Steamy Scene with James Bond

When she won the chance to play the latest Bond girl, Gemma Arterton didn’t have to worry too much about costume fittings.

The 22-year-old actress wears nothing more than a linen sheet as 007 actor Daniel Craig kisses her bare back in the forthcoming Quantum of Solace. The film also gives Craig’s female fans another chance to admire his muscular torso.

Miss Arterton plays gorgeous MI6 operative-Agent Fields less than a year after graduating from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

The daughter of a welder and a cleaner from Gravesend in Kent, she has already had several movie roles including the head girl in the remake of St Trinian’s. Her latest character is said to be a tribute to the classic 1960s Bond girls.

Producers modeled her hair after Diana Rigg – who played the love interest in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

Here’s some more images of Gemma Arterton:

James Bond Quantum of Solace Preview

Quantum of Solace,” the next installment in the James Bond movie series, will pick up where “Casino Royale” left off. Quite literally.

James Bond Quantum of Solace Preview Photo

quote-picIt looks like the surface of Mars. The rust-colored rolling hills of the Atacama desert appear alien, devoid of life — just sand and dirt and rock baked into vast, barren slopes that stretch endlessly into the bruised horizon.

Against this unforgiving backdrop, Daniel Craig is exploring the merciless side of James Bond. Quantum of Solace is the 22nd film in the 007 franchise, Craig’s second after 2006′s blockbuster Casino Royale, and the first true sequel to a Bond film, picking up the story just minutes after the previous film ends.

Actually, that’s not right. I know it’s happened at least one: 1971′s “Diamonds Are Forever” which marked Sean Connery’s return to the role after a one film hiatus, picked up where George Lazenby’s “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” (1969) left off. Bond tracks down and kills Ernst Stavro Blofeld, who had killed Bond’s wife at the end of the previous film.

At any rate, it looks like it’s going to be an exciting film:

quote-picThe movie, opening Nov. 7, is about halfway through filming. They’ve been to Panama and Baja California, Mexico, with plans to shift next to Italy and Austria before returning to London’s famed Pinewood Studios for more stage shooting.

The action sequence shot in the Chilean desert last week is a turning point for the embittered superspy, his chance to discover whether his thirst for vengeance will turn him into the same kind of cold-blooded killer as the people he is fighting. “He has his heart broken,” says Craig, who turned 40 during the shoot. “The love of his life is killed, and he finds out she’s not who she said she was. … He’s out for revenge. But he’s also out to find — and this is what the title is about — a ‘quantum of solace.’ Something has been taken away from him, and he’s out to get that back.”

[...]

[I]n the thin air of the 8,700-foot elevation, where it’s easy to run out of breath doing take after take of sprinting and gunplay. Craig’s sprinting gunshot scene is literally breathless — his chest heaves hard after multiple takes, but he laughs matter-of-factly later when asked about the high-altitude challenges. “It’s (expletive) hard!”

The thin atmosphere has been hardest on the new Bond girl, Olga Kurylenko, 28, who plays a mysterious Bolivian-Russian rogue agent whose quest for revenge puts her in league with Bond. But even she prefers it to the marshy conditions of their last location. “It’s much easier to work here than in Panama, weather-wise,” she says. “It’s hot in both countries, but in Panama it’s humid, and we were working on the boat and I was sweating. Here it’s dry, it’s different, it’s much easier, but I’m out of breath a little bit.”

[...]

The last time the James Bond producers gambled on major alterations to the long-running formula, there was a huge outcry — and a huge payoff when Casino Royale finally came out. During filming, many die-hard fans of previous Bond star Pierce Brosnan jeered the choice of the blond, blue-eyed, rough-edged Craig for the traditionally suave and sophisticated British agent. But then Casino Royale became the highest-grossing Bond film in history, earning $595 million worldwide (about $150 million more than 2002′s Die Another Day), and many fans and critics praised Craig as the best Bond actor since Sean Connery originated the role.

More changes to the traditional formula are in store for Quantum of Solace, among them the notion of a true sequel. Bond has always been ageless, and the previous 21 movies stand largely independently of each other, but Quantum of Solace picks up where Casino Royale ended, with Bond working his way up the chain of command of the terrorists who blackmailed his lover, Vesper Lynd. “We set something up in motion in the last one that we need to keep in touch with in this one,” Craig says.

Producer Wilson, who is the stepson of the late founding 007 producer, Albert R. “Cubby” Broccoli, and has worked on every Bond film since 1979′s Moonraker, says filmmakers might go back to stand-alone plots the next time, but for now they wanted to continue with an evolving Bond. “He has the realization that there’s no place for him in the outside world,” Wilson says. “And also he’s tempted by revenge and tempted by becoming a cynic, by losing his humanity. He has to fight all of these things.”

Another curious twist is the hint that there may be less romance this time for the notorious ladies’ man. “We felt Bond could not immediately fall into another relationship. And we needed someone who had her own agenda and probably could not form a relationship either because of her situation,” Wilson says. Kurylenko says her vengeful rogue agent, Camille, is so focused on “what she’s doing, she doesn’t care about meeting a boyfriend or something.”

Daniel Craig and Gemma Arterton in Quantum of Solace Bond does bed another MI6 agent, played by British actress Gemma Arterton, 22, a relative newcomer. “He has one relationship in this movie, a kind of fling. It’s mutually beneficial,” Craig says. “I think both parties enjoy it.”

Then there’s the title, a moniker some fans ridicule. Quantum of Solace comes from a short story by 007 author Ian Fleming, and it’s not a spy story but a tale told to Bond about another couple’s tragic romance. The short story has nothing else to do with the movie. Wilson explains: “The title we thought was appropriate for a couple of reasons. The villainous organization is called Quantum, and what Bond is looking for in his life is a measure of comfort, and that’s what a ‘quantum of solace’ is. He’s just trying to find a little bit of comfort because his life is in turmoil.”

[...]

When Quantum of Solace makes its debut, the squabbles during filming will no doubt largely be forgotten, and 007 fans will now be wondering: How will the film further change the iconic superspy?

The Bond of the past was calculating and in control, rarely caught off guard and more bemused than tortured by the havoc he confronts. Quantum of Solace transforms him into damaged goods. Craig says he prefers to explore the weak spots of a previously invulnerable hero. “It’s a simplistic story that has been around for a long, long time: There’s one lone hero going after the bad guys. It has been around forever. But you have to apply morals to it, and within that you show somebody’s flaws. That’s what makes them interesting, the mistakes they make along the way and how they adjust. “The fact is he’s hurt. He’s damaged and he wants revenge. And that’s another facet of somebody, and it’s not a good emotion to have. You’ve got to see how he deals with it. Last time around, it was just duty and duty alone. This time around, there’s a sense of revenge. That’s how he’s going to screw up. Because he will — but then he gets up and gets it right.”

The Bond formula had gotten very tired. Casino Royale was the best Bond flick in years and it sounds like this will continue that tradition.

Gemma Arterton Newest Bond Girl

Gemma Arteton, New Bond Girl on the Block

Daniel Craig will once again be putting on the suit of 007 for the (currently titled) “Bond 22” film. This time he will have an up-and-coming actress to work along side him. Gemma Arterton has scored the role of the next Bond girl and will be aptly wooed by Craig in the next movie.

Eon Productions, the masterminds behind the current Bond films, is after a more modern look combined with a slight vulnerability. After graduating from the RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art) this year, she worked behind a beauty counter to pay the rent. Gemma was then picked up for the role of a lifetime. Beating out Sienna Miller for a part in the film “St. Trinian’s,” she shared the screen with Rupert Everett and Colin Firth. She played a young seductress who uses sex appeal to get her way. (Complete with school girl outfit.)

Gemma Arteton, New Bond Girl on the Block

Arterton is the next “big name” according to the buzz across the pond. She beat out over 1500 hopeful ladies for the role of Bond girl. Filming starts in January with an expected release date of November 7, 2008.

Adam Sandler Is Packing

Who knew Adam Sandler looked like that in all those goofy movies? Here is Adam Sandler rocking the baby blue James bond trunks, and good grief are they stuffed! That can’t be real, especially considering he’s pictured walking around between takes of his latest movie, ‘You Don’t Mess with the Zohan’. Yep, not with a package like that. It makes for a good laugh though.

In the film, Adam stars as a secret agent who leaves Israel’s intelligence ageny to become a hairdresser in New York. Sounds like hilarity to me. You’ll also see Rob Schneider and Heny Winkler. Yeah, not sure I’ll be seeing this one.

Tennis Star Maria Sharapova – The New Bond Girl

6ft 2in, blonde tennis star Maria Sharapova is currently playing at Wimbledon, but she also dreams of playing along side Daniel Craig in the next Bond movie.

Sharapova seems to have been preparing for the role of “Bond Girl” while becoming one of the greatest women tennis stars of all-time.
She said, “I’m really good at manipulating people. And I’m great at spying. I should have been Sherlock Holmes.” A friend also said,

quote-pic“… her biggest dream is to be a Bond girl. She’s always talking about it. Maria loves the James Bond films. And with her Russian blood, she thinks she would be a perfect.”

I don’t know if it’s her “Russian blood” or her “Russian legs” that make her the perfect fit.

quote-picBritish singer Amy Winehouse will reportedly get up close and personal with hunky actor Daniel Craig in the next installment of the James Bond movie series. Bond producer Barbara Broccoli has offered Winehouse a part in the Casino Royale sequel after falling in love with the Rehab star’s hit album Back to Black.

A source tells British newspaper News Of The World, “She’s perfect for the role because she’s the embodiment of the retro glamor of the original movies.”

The latest film in the superspy franchise is set for release next year.

But, aren’t Bond girls supposed to be, like, hot or something? Maybe if they did something about those ugly tattoos?

Celebrity Men Featured in “Crying Men” Gallery

Hollywood Hunks including Jude Law, Robert Downey, Jr. and Laurence Fishburne amazed artist Sam Taylor-Wood with their heart-felt sobs for her bizarre new exhibition, Crying Men.

She is particularly proud of pictures of the Cold Mountain hunk weeping in a fetal position and a portrait of Reservoir Dogs star Michael Madsen betraying his hard-man image by crying hysterically.

Taylor-Wood explains, “Some of the men cried before I even finished loading the camera, but others found it really difficult. People can decide for themselves which they think are the authentic tears and which they think are fake. It’s about the idea of taking these big, masculine men and showing a different side
