Amazing stuff, that about sures it up casting wise.
Jeffrey Wright seems like an interesting choice. Not against a black felix by any means, but still didn't see it comming. Here he is:  Edit: I stumbled upon his wikipedia page while seaching for photos and updated his filmography to include Casino Royale. I always wanted to do that. I hope he thanks me

I like that choice for Felix. Wright is a very good actor, and I think will definately bring something new to the character. As for Eva Green, I'll just have to wait and see. I've never seen her in anything.

Both good choices. Eva Green is gorgeous and has the Vesper look as Rose Bryne does and Jeffrey Wright as Felix is a nice surprise.
Here's a poster I just finished of Eva Green as Vesper Lynd, before I read this official news.

Well if Eva Green has been cast as Vesper for real, then I guess that is somewhat good news. At least it isn't Thandie Newton or Rachel Stirling, and not some other big name actress either like Zeta Jones or Charlize Theron. I would've preferred Rose Byrne, but I think Green will be fine, provided she does look great all the time.
Wright I'm not so sure about. I haven't seen him at all before, but from his photo he gives me the vibe of one of these bumbling Felixes again, like in Goldfinger or DAF. I was hoping for a stronger, Jack Lord type - real FBI/CIA man. Surely there must've been even a black actor who looked like that if they're making Felix black like in NSNA? He just seems too much like Bond's bumbling sidekick. The new spy thriller by Peter Strongbear |

Ha! OK, assuming this is all official, Wright is a pretty good choice. A fine, and sometimes fun (e.g. in SHAFT) actor. I can see him being a good Buddy for Bond. Thumbs up. Any idea if Wright has been signed for sequels?
Just noticed on his imdb page that Wright has a role in the upcoming The Visiting, starring...Daniel Craig. Is the Craigster responsible for this casting?

I am not racist, but I am upset with the casting of Felix Leiter. If the character is white with blonde hair, he should be white with blonde hair. I was also a little upset about the casting of le chiffre. It shouldve been, a chubbier actor. Although Mads looks like a villian he is no le chiffre. I think eva green will do well in the role. I feel as though she is the only character that looks like the characters description from the book. Craig in my book is no bond(lookswise) but I do believe he has the acting talent to pull it off.

He won't be a bumbling, comedy Felix (unless that's what the script calls for). |

It doesnt matter if his acting is the best in the world unless his acting makes us believe he is a white guy with blonde hair. He just doesnt look the part. Tom hanks is a wonderful actor, should he be james bond?

Hey, Agent76, you missed a vital paragraph at the end with YET MORE casting :
The producers are delighted that the cast is rounded out by talented international actors in feature roles, including; Giancarlo Giannini as Mathis, Caterina Murino as Solonge, Simon Abkarian as Dimitrios, Tobias Menzies as Villiers, Ivana Milicevic as Valenka, Clemens Schik as Kratt, Ludger Pistor as Mendel, and Claudio Santamaria as Carlos. Gaaah...casting overload...can't cope. Giancarlo Giannini is a good pick though. This post has been edited by dinovelvet: 16 February 2006 - 23:57 |

Love it! Two very inspired choices. I've already talked about Eva Green at length.
Jeffrey Wright is another guy who's won a lot of awards (Golden Globe, Tony, and an Emmy) and is a very strong actor. Also in the same age range as Craig, so they nailed that. I definitely can see him capturing the spirit of Leiter from the novels. I'm fine with African-American actor as Felix, even though he's obviously not going to match the exact physical description of Leiter in Fleming's book. In fact, I quite like the call as he's going to really stick out (can't remember many meaningful African-American characters in the Bond films outside of some villains in Live and Let Die). I really hope he's going to be back in the next two films with Craig. This post has been edited by Fro: 16 February 2006 - 23:59 |

Green was fabulous in THE DREAMERS, she had real presence in it, and (apart from the nudity) was the most memorable thing in the movie.
 Robert Brown was Admiral Hargreaves in TSWLM, OP, AVTAK, TLD and LTK damnit Enforcer, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Roger Moore Proud defender of Barbara Bach, Carole Bouquet, Barbara Carrera, Maryam D'Abo, A View to a Kill, Never Say Never Again and The Spy Who Loved Me. |
