New Bond Film Gets It's Bond Girl; Director Still Unconfirmed

I've got a gun. Your argument is invalid.

This week has been big for the 24th James Bond film. Early this week, we had rumours of directors like Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive), Ang Lee (Life of Pi) and Shane Black (Iron Man 3) were being considered. Then, Skyfall director Sam Mendes, who previously stated he wouldn't come back, was in talks to come back for the new Bond film, and even the one after (maybe). I think Mendes is a great choice, Skyfall was by far the best Bond film, so bringing him back would be best for Bond.

Now that's out of the way, earlier today we got news of the next Bond girl. Yahoo! reports that Oscar-winning actress Penélope Cruz (Vicky Christina Barcelona, Pirates of the Carribean 4) will be the Bond girl in the next film. For those who don't know what a Bond girl is, it's basically the lead actress/actresses in each Bond film. 

With filming on the new Bond film beginning next year, we should expect it to be out by 2015, 2016 at the most.
