Ok... usually whenever a rumor concerns Bond, you need to take spoonfuls of salt, why? Because them evil SPECTRE bastards are out to subvert the entire process of news gathering... how rude... ya know? Yeah... Ok, well here's what this guy sent in, it is not confirmed, hopefully some singing cowboy will fill me in...
Posted on usenet, but this guy knows his shit:
BOND SET FOR CHRISTMAS AND TURKEY: Superspy JAMES BOND will be heading off to Turkey for his 19th movie adventure - to spend a little time with CHRISTMAS. The festive name belongs to the latest Bond Girl in the new movie, tentatively titled THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH. Casting director DEBBIE McWILLIAMS is currently looking for the girl in question, who will play a wise-cracking nuclear weapons expert hired to de-activate warheads. In the new film, which will start shooting in Britain and Istanbul in 1999, 007's adversary will be kidnapper and international terrorist RENARD, who has his sights set on taking over a late British tycoon's oil empire by evil means.
Apart from PIERCE BROSNAN and Bond regulars, there are no new details of cast choices, but producers are keen to offer roles to veritable newcomers. A casting source says, "The leading roles will be ELEKTRA, the daughter of a dead tycoon, [as well as] Bond, Renard, Christmas, Chechnyan army commanding officer AKAKIEVICH, and Elektra's Turkish bodyguard GABOR.
