After seeing that MrMurdock has done fancats for
Diamonds Are Forever,
Moonraker, and
Live and Let Die, I've decided to make one myself. I chose
Goldfinger since it's one of my favorite James Bond films. This version of the movie would be more in line of today's Bond films.
Anyway, I would like to see Matthew Vaughn to direct this. I'm a big fan of his work and would like to see what he could make out of this.
Anyway, here's the cast:
Heroes
Tom Hardy as James Bond: An MI6 who goes under the codename of 007. He is sent by the MI6 to investigate Auric Goldfinger. He also has a fondness for vodka martinis "shaken, not stirred".
Reason for Casting: To me, Hardy would make an excellent Bond. In
Inception, he played very charismatic character and in
Bronson, he played a very tough and edgy character. If he can combine certain elements of these two, he would own the role.
Bill Nighy as M: The strict head of MI6 and Bond's boss.
Reason for Casting: After seeing some of Nighy's work, I decided that he would be great as M.
Hugh Laurie as Q: The head of Q-Branch, who supplies Bond with a specially modified Aston Martin DB5. He has a somewhat antagonistic relationship with Bond, due to the fact that he has a playful lack of respect for the technology that Q develops.
Reason for Casting: I decided to cast Laurie after I seen his work in
House.
Billie Piper as Miss Moneypenny: M's secretary and personal assistant, whom Bond usually flirts with.
Reason for Casting: I like her work on
Doctor Who and
Secret Diary of a Call Girl.
Edward Norton as Felix Leiter: A CIA Agent and Bond's liaison in the United States.
Reason for Casting: Norton is an awesome actor. I loved his performances in
American History X and
25th Hour
Bond Girls:
Rosie Huntngton-Whiteley as Jill Masterson: Goldfinger's aide-de-camp, who Bond finds helping him cheat at a game of Gin Rummy. Bond later seduces her, but for her betrayal, Goldfinger has her entire body painted in gold paint, suffocating her skin and killing her.
Reason for Casting: I have a feeling that everyone is going to hate me for casting her. But first off, the role of Jill Masterson is a small part and Whiteley has somewhat average acting skills. So I decided to cast her based on a gut feeling.
Sienna Miller as Tilly Masterson: Jill's sister, who is on a Vendetta to kill Goldfinger and avenge her sister's death.
Reason for Casting: Miller was good in
Layer Cake and
Factory Girl
Villains:
Ray Winstone as Auric Goldfinger: A man obsessed with gold. He plans on planting a dirty bomb composed of cobalt and iodine in Fort Knox, rendering all gold useless for 58 years and thus increasing the value of his gold.
Reason fro Casting: He was excellent in
Cold Mountain,
The Departed, and
The Proposition.
Daniel Dae Kim as OddJob: Goldfinger's Korean manservant and assassin. His main weapon is a bowler hat with a razor sharp metal rim, which can be thrown like a disc.
Reason for Casting: He's excellent on
Lost and
Hawaii 5-0.
Tricia Helfer as Pussy Galore: Goldfinger's personal pilot and the leader of an all-female flight team known as The Flying Circus. Although initially "Immune" to Bond's charms, she later falls for him and secretly turns against Goldfinger.
Reason for Casting: I think she's brilliant on
Battlestar Galactica and
Burn Notice.
