    Release seven minutes ago and Annanova and you get it here now on Bond 20 @ Blue Haze Movies.



    Sorry about the plug above, just had to do it!! Well I doubt many of you would haev heard about Darcey Bussel. She’s a ballerina / actress and has previously appeared in the film True Blue and auditioned for the remake of Sabrina, though she didn’t get the role.

    Interestingly enough this report reveals a little more about the Bond film (presuming it’s true). Apparently other members of the Royal Ballet will also appear in the film which will include a specially choreographed ballet by Ashley Page.

    So if true could we see the main femfatale as a balet dancer much like Myram D’Abo’s character of Kara in The Living Daylights was a chello player? Who knows! But we’ll endeavour to find out for you.

    Until then, read the whole report below and discuss this in the Bond 20 Forums. Also, we’re trying to find more pictures. If you find any yourself please e-mail them to [email protected].

    Darcey Bussell is to star in the new James Bond film alongside Pierce Brosnan.

    The ballerina has previously appeared in the film True Blue and auditioned for the remake of Sabrina.

    Filming is due to start at the end of August with the title sequence being filmed at the Royal Opera House.

    Other members of the Royal Ballet will also appear in the film which will include a specially choreographed ballet by Ashley Page.

    Bussell said: “I adore James Bond films with Sean Connery being my favourite Bond of all time. But I am really looking forward to working with Pierce Brosnan who I had met a few times at the Opera House before I auditioned with him.”

    Bussell is preparing to wear an all-over rubber catsuit for the title sequence.

    With the filming starting just six weeks after the expected birth of her first child, Bussell is keeping up her schedule of daily ballet class.
