Jeffrey Wright returns for 'Bond 22'

Thu 03 Jan 9:35 AM

OK, so not really Earth-shattering news this but anything remotely "Bond"-themed is worth a mention. "Syriana" star Jeffrey Wright, who played CIA agent Felix Leiter opposite Daniel Craig in last year's "Casino Royale", will flesh out the role once more in "Bond 22".

Of course, very little is known of the plot with shooting commencing behind some firmly closed doors (literally as you read this) at Pinewood Studios. "Bond 22" though has some considerable talent behind it what with Craig and Wright returning alongside Mathieu Amalric ("The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly"), Giancarlo Giannini (reprising his shady role from "Casino Royale") and Anatole Taubmann.

Set for a November 7 release, "Bond 22" will be directed by acclaimed helmer Marc Forster hot off the critical success of "The Kite Runner".
