Henchman and car for Bond 22
007 fan site Commanderbond.com reports that Swiss actor Anatole Taubmann has been cast as a henchman in Bond 22. Apparently the actor revealed the casting on a Swiss TV show, saying, “‘James Bond - that’s like playing the Champions League. For a European actor, this is like a gold ticket. There’s nothing better. I’m very happy." Taubmann has appeared in Taken, Aeon Flux and band of Brothers. Commanderbond.com reckons that his role is a fairly major one.
The same site has also a posted a press release from Aston Martin announcing that 007 will once again be behind the wheel of one of their cars – the DBS – in the next Bond movie.
End of the Journeyman
Struggling US TV show Journeyman has effectively been axed, according to Hollywood Reporter . The site reports that NBC had until Tuesday to give a full-season pickup to the time-travel drama but let that option lapse. The show slipped to its lowest ratings (5.26 million) this past Monday without the benefit of Heroes as a lead-in. There are two episodes left to air.
