Al Pacino rumored to be the villain in Bond 22

This could be very cool. Pacino is a fantastic actor under the right direction, not that scenery chewing would necessarily be out of place in a Bond film.

Ain’t It Cool News has the scoop on a casting rumor for the upcoming Bond film Quantum of Solace. Check out the details after the jump.

From the site:

Hi Harry

I met with a friend of mine recently, who is currently working on dismantling the sets of the new Bond movie at Pinewood, and will start soon on building the new sets when the crew return later in the year.

Anyway he mentioned that Anatole Taubman and Daniel Craig have filmed a huge fight scene in an art gallery under renovation at the stage.

But the big news that he leaked was that Al Pacino would be taking part in filming. I was a little shocked as the cast has been revealed aready, but he said Pacino would play the head of the terrorist group introduced in CASINO ROYALE and QUANTUM OF SOLACE. Al is said to come to Pinewood in April-May to film what is said to be a brief cameo.

Thanks love the site, if you use this call me Mamlet

1. As long as he's not in "hoo-hah!" ultra hammy mode....

then, yes, it could be cool. Pacino is a fine actor...in "Godfather I and II" "Dog Day Afternoon" "Serpico"...but, he can be quite hammy at times.
