Der Mexikaner Joaquin Cosio!
Ein Vertragsbrecher, oder ein Schwindler?
Spoiler Gefahr!
Da stimmt irgendetwas nicht. Wir wissen, das die Darsteller nichts über ihre Rolle veraten dürfen und vorallem nicht den Namen!It seems as if James Bond will be facing more than one enemy in Bond 22. After the confirmed castings of French Mathieu Amalric and Swiss Anatole Taubman, Mexican actor Jaquin Cosio claims to have landed the role of a Latin American General called "General Medrano". Mexican newspaper El Diario runs a big story on the casting in today’s issue.
"There are various enemies, and I’m one of them. I’m General Medrano, Bond’s enemy in Latin America, but there are other enemies waiting in Europe for Bond", he told El Diario while phoning from Mexico City. According to the actor, he was chosen from a list of about 500 Latin American actors, among them stars such as Daniel Jimenez Cach (Y tu Mama Tambien).
"I’m really pleased to be chosen to participate in such a huge film, it’s a great achievement that the film will feature a Mexican actor" the 45-year old told the newspaper. Shooting will start for him in early February 2008. "I still don’t know much of the script, I don’t really know what my scenes will be like, but I know that I’m going to film in Panama, Bolivia and London", the actor said. Related to this, CBn has just learned that Anatole Taubman is also scheduled for a Bolivia shoot, which makes Bolivia the fifth official location for Bond 22. Other locations include Italy, Austria, Panama and England.
Cosio also confirmed what has been rumoured long before: Italian actor Giancarlo Giannini will reprise his role as Rene Mathis from Casino Royale. "I’m very delighted to be in one film with Giannini and Judi Dench", the Mexican said. Still, "so far I’m not thinking about leaving for Hollywood after Bond 22. I’m very pleased with how my latest projects are going here in Mexcio."
