Casting News: Rosamund Pike to star in Johnny English 2

Image
While Rosamund Pike is still circling and yet to be confirmed to play the role as Moira MacTaggert for the reboot of X-Men: First Class movie with James McAvoy , one thing that's just been reported and is at least for certain and not a rumor is Rosamund starring in a sequel to Rowan Atkinson (aka Mr. Bean)'s comedy spy James Bond spoof film, Johnny English Reborn . I think RP will be great on this one...and it's comedy, so she gets to be funny here like she did with An Education . Also, Rosamund 's other and now completed film, Varney's Version will premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival in September . Here's the article from Press Association (and UK's The Daily Mail here ... you can also read another possible casting news for Judi Dench there as well): Rosamund Pike for Johnny English 2 Former Bond girl Rosamund Pike is to star as a sexy secret agent once again in Johnny English 2.

Previously rumored, but now looks like Carey Mulligan will, indeed star in On Chesil Beach , according to The Film Stage article below: The Daily Mail has confirmed Carey Mulligan’s involvement in Sam Mendes’ adaptation of Ian McEwan’s best selling book On Chesil Beach, reporting that she will undergo some pre-production training for her starring role as Florence Ponting : Carey Mulligan will be taking violin lessons so she can be note perfect to play the heroine in the film of Ian McEwan’s story of sex in England before the sexual revolution. The story will follow the honeymoon, specifically the wedding night of a young, educated couple, both virgins and living ‘in a time when a conversation about sexual difficulties was plainly impossible’.
