Not what to expect from the movie, but what to expect from the media. I’ve been writing about Bond films for a few years now, and this sort of thing is predictable.
There will be innumerable Bond girl rumors, but almost all of them will be either mega-stars or American, or both (Angelina Jolie). Remember that there are very few of either who have been cast.
There will also be Bond girl and Bond villain rumors coming out of India fast and furious. Think about it: Richard Gere was publicly excoriated for kissing Shilpa Shetty ever so politely—do you really think an Indian woman can take this kind of role? As for the villain, it’s never from any source but the actor’s own PR people. Ignore it.
Amy Winehouse will be rumored to return as the musician. I think You can’t dismiss every music rumor, but you can safely dismiss any rumors about a musician starring in the film. The farthest that will go is a Madonna-style cameo.
Icebreaker will be rumored as the title. It always is.

I would like to clear some issues over here on this context. Every Nation Has it’s Own set of Cultural Keepers & some who want to be in the limelight by pretending to be so.
So, when such a issue happens over in India, They take this opportunity to get back to limelight in the Media by creating a Roar on such issues.
The Shilpa Shetty-Richard Gere Issue was blown out of proportion and also one more thing that need to be considered. There were some prominent respected people who were attending the Function and Kissing in Public is still Not a common thing in India. Hence the Uproar, which i believe is quite justifiable.
However, when it comes to Commercial Films, There are no such restrictions as in real life incidents. There were some REAL Steamy scenes in films of late. Hence, the question of Indian woman taking such role is negated.
P.S: On this context, there is a Funny one liner which differentiates India from the rest of the World. The Comment is, “In India, we can Piss in Public but cannot Kiss on Public, whereas in Western countries, you can Kiss in Public, but cannot piss in public”.
I just hope the female lead is’nt a mega star,I would like to see Bond in Asia or Europe,we have not seen him in Ireland….
I wouldn’t mind seeing him in Africa.
I know that the alp’s was rumored for QoS. I kind of got excited about that. I know we’ve seen it before but I think that would be great
How many times has Icebreaker been rumored to be a Bond film title? We should just start that rumor now, and see how long it takes to trend on Twitter….
Doesn’t help – well, okay, it DOES if you’re working for the Hollywood rumor mills – that production’s been put off until late next year. That gives us plenty of time for people to say “Blofeld’s coming back!” or “It’s gonna be the Spangled Mob”, based only on the fact that they were neglected (ironically, for Blofeld) in Diamonds Are Forever.
Oh, well. Time to just be patient.
