James Bond screen tests reportedly happening in London this weekend
Diamonds are forever, but James Bond actors come and go — and the time has come to pick the next 007. Screen tests to choose the star of Amazon MGM's upcoming Bond film are reportedly occurring in London this weekend. Two of the rumoured finalists are Callum Turner and Jack Lowden.
James Bond screen tests are reportedly imminent, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter. Borys Kit, THR's correspondent, is particularly elated by this news after months of casting rumors and support from actors like Gary Oldman and Saoirse Ronan. The tests are set to begin in London this weekend, with early reports suggesting they may start as early as Friday.
The competition appears to have thinned out, with only three to five actors being tested for "stunts, camera presence, and dialogue." While Jack Lowden and Callum Turner are reportedly in the mix, sources suggest that Elordi and O'Connell are less likely to fit the role. Amazon has confirmed that the search for the next James Bond is underway, but they have declined to comment on specific details during the casting process.
