Blofeld rumoured to be returning in Bond 24, played by Christoph Waltz - Polidicks

The two-time Oscar-winner is expected to be named as Daniel Craig's latest opponent next month. Previous reports suggested Waltz would initially portray a conflicted role - neither "friend" nor "foe" - in the new Bond movie. However the Mail, which initially reported the Waltz casting scoop, now suggests the Austrian actor is set to play Blofeld for the first time on the big screen in more than three decades. The Bond movies have been free to incorporate classic elements of the 007 mythos such as Blofeld and nefarious organisation SPECTRE once again after a long-running legal case with the estate of Blofeld co-creator Kevin McClory was settled in November last year. McClory's family sold its remaining stake in 007 to Danjaq, maker of the Bond films via its better known subsidiary Eon, and distributor MGM. The move allowed for rights to characters introduced in 1965's Thunderball, a collaboration between Ian Fleming and McClory, to be used in future instalments.[/quote]

I can see this working. Christopher Waltz is a damn good actor and he has so much fun playing whatever role he is in.

Waltz was practically unheard of until a few years back.

If Blofeld returns, then ridiculous volcano lairs and ninja armies also better do.

[QUOTE=download;46570694]Waltz was practically unheard of until a few years back.[/QUOTE] Col. Landa was literally his first major role in an English language film. Seriously, check his filmography. It's the first one.

[QUOTE=download;46570694]Waltz was practically unheard of until a few years back.[/QUOTE] You can't deny Tarantino really helped put him in the spotlight with Inglorious Basterds and Django.

[QUOTE=download;46570694]Waltz was practically unheard of until a few years back.[/QUOTE] In the international scene, that is. From what I recall he was actually very popular in his home country, or at the least played in a shitload of movies prior to Inglorious Basterds.

[QUOTE=Da Big Man;46571015]You can't deny Tarantino really helped put him in the spotlight with Inglorious Basterds and Django.[/QUOTE] And thank god for that, he is fucking brilliant. Makes one think how many other brilliant actors there are that just didn't happen to get lucky.

didn't they dance around the loss of the use of Blofeld by dumping a suspiciously bald unnamed Bond villain into a chimney nevertheless, good for Waltz. He's a damn good actor.

[QUOTE=GÃ©za!;46570750]If Blofeld returns, then ridiculous volcano lairs and ninja armies also better do.[/QUOTE] As long as he doesn't move to Las Vegas and try to build a diamond encrusted Laser Satellite, then fine by me as well. Seriously, fuck Diamonds Are Forever.

Maybe they'll even bring Tracy Bond back.

Not even kidding, I was just thinking the other day that it would be neat if Blofeld came back. Uncanny.

I just hope he isnt killed off straight away - Blofeld was a long-term nemesis and I would like to see him appearing over a number of separate new Bond films, as he did in the old ones.
