Director Marc Forster spoke with Swiss newspaper Sonntags Zeitung over the weekend and confirmed that principal photography on the new James Bond film begins this Thursday.
Forster revealed that he would have liked to cast Swiss actor Bruno Ganz (acclaimed for his portrayal of Hitler in Downfall) as the film’s villain, but couldn’t as French thesp Mathieu Almaric had already signed on for the role.
Of the film’s tone, Forster said: ‘When Bond began in the Connery days, travel was a luxury not everyone could afford. Today, the world has become smaller. If Bond goes to a beach with palm trees it’s almost banal now. The only interesting trip remains the journey inwards, deep in to the psyche.’
