Bamigboye suggests Bellucci is in Bond 24

Baz Bamigboye of the U.K. Daily Mail put out a Tweet suggesting actress Monica Bellucci is in the cast of Bond 24.

Here’s the Tweet:

The possible casting of Bellucci was raised in a story on Dec. 2 on the DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD website. That story wasn’t definitive. Writer Nancy Tartaglione wrote, “I’ve also heard that Monica Bellucci may be in the mix” for the cast. That was the only mention of the actress in the story, which mostly centered on how the Bond 24 and cast is to be announced on Dec. 4.

Bamigboye has had a number of scoops about Skyfall and Bond 24 proven correct. But his Tweet is vague and doesn’t plainly say Bellucci is in Bond 24.

Pierce Brosnan has said Bellucci was screen tested for the part of Paris Carver in 1997’s Tomorrow Never Dies. The part, a woman from Bond’s past, went to Teri Hatcher.
