Jamie Bell For Role In New Bond Movie?

    Jamie Bell is apparently being eyed for a role as a rival agent in the next instalment of the James Bond franchise.

    Daniel Craig wants producers to meet the Billy Elliot star after the pair worked together on last year's Defiance, according to The Sun.

    In the plot the young rookie will be seen by M16 bosses as the natural sucessor to 007 (Craig). The new agent will apparently be given one of Bond's assignments in a deliberate attempt to create rivalry.

    A source said: "The idea behind the character of a new double-0 agent is that he would be like a younger version of Bond. The scriptwriters hope a bit of competition between Bond and a new, sexy young spy who is keen to impress his bosses would be a great sub-plot in the movie.

    "For the first time, Bond's position as golden boy of the double-0 agents is in danger, and this threat to his ego will bring out his ruthless streak. It would definitely be a great place to take the character."

    The insider cautioned that the film is still in the early stages of development.

    The next James Bond instalment has reportedly been put on hold for an indefinite period of time by MGM.
    The studio was apparently forced to postpone the release, tentatively called Bond 23, due to its ongoing financial troubles.
    EON Productions executives Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli announced the delay in a statement released to Variety.
    "Due to the continuing uncertainty surrounding the future of MGM and the failure to close a sale of the studio, we have suspended development on Bond 23 indefinitely," the two explained.
    "We do not know when development will resume and do not have a date for the release of Bond 23."
    Earlier this month, MGM dismissed rumours that screenwriter Peter Morgan had quit the Sam Mendes-directed project. In October, star Daniel Craig claimed that the picture would start shooting at the end of this year.
