Gillian Anderson On Bond Rumours: ‘It's Bond. Jane Bond.’

Gillian Anderson has rather gamely responded to fan chat suggesting that she’d make the perfect replacement for current 007 Daniel Craig.

And it seems that she might well be up for it.

After a fan knocked up a poster with the ‘X Files’ star front and centre on the Skyfall poster, she gleefully tweeted it to her near 500,000 followers.

“It’s Bond. Jane Bond,” she wrote.

“Thanks for all the votes! (And sorry, don’t know who made poster but I love it!) #NextBond.”

You have to admit, that if the next Bond were to be a lady, she’d be an excellent choice, and thus far, the message has 18,000 likes and nearly 8000 retweets.

There’s long been talk of a female Bond, but whether it would actually come to fruition is very much open to debate.

But it does sound like the job is soon to be vacant.

Reports emerged last week that Daniel Craig has turned down a £68 million offer to make more two movies in the 007 series.

“Daniel is done – pure and simple – he told top brass at MGM after Spectre,” a source told the Daily Mail.

“They threw huge amounts of money at him, but it just wasn’t what he wanted.

“He had told people after shooting that this would be his final outing, but the film company still felt he could come around after Spectre if he was offered a money deal.”

It was also reported last week that certain bookies had suspended betting on Tom Hiddleston becoming the next 007 after a flurry of high-value punts.

So far neither MGM nor Bond production company Eon has commented on whether the search for a new Bond is on or not.

    The arrival of the US M1A1 Abrams tanks in Ukraine was hailed as a turning point in the war.

But tactics evolve quickly in warfare, and Russia’s use of surveillance and hunter-killer drones has led to heavy casualties for Ukraine’s tank fleets. This is alarming for NATO. If Russia has found critical vulnerabilities in our armour, our borders are beginni

  • How the 'Bengaluru dream' turned into a nightmare

    STORY: Nineteen-year-old Kkavya landed in Bengaluru with dreams of getting a degree in English literature and an exciting job at a tech firm.During a job interview, Khavya, who hails from Kashmir, was told she would have amazing job opportunities in India's Silicon Valley.She was sold the "Bengaluru dream.""What was promised to me when I came to work, they were like, 'Listen, the weather is going to be amazing, you're going to get paid, come work for us for seven hours, go home, take a beer, chill, sleep."After three years in the city, the dream is falling apart, and fast.One problem is the traffic."Do you see the horn? Did you hear it? This is my nightmare."As it was transformed into India's tech hub, the city has struggled to keep up with the massive population influx.Kkavya now spends up to five or six hours on her daily commutes.In the 1990s, Bengaluru rapidly became India's answer to Silicon Valley.It attracted millions of workers and the regional headquarters of some of the world's biggest IT companies.But unrestrained urban expansion has affected Bengaluru's character as a liveable city.With the city poised to vote in the second phase of India's national election on Friday (April 26), Kkavya said she felt frustrated to see that these issues are rarely addressed by local politicians and candidates."We are that sad now, we don't even think that this is something politicians can fix, because they never talk about it. Traffic is our problem, roads are our problem, hospital is your problem. So when I tell my boss that I can't reach on time, it's my problem, not the people who made the roads, not the people who are responsible for the traffic."And she struggles every morning to get water for her daily use. Weak southwest monsoon rains last year failed to replenish depleted groundwater causing shortages.This forced residents to ration water use and pay a much higher price.Water rates at her apartment have gone up by almost four times from about $8.40 per month to more than $27. "Water is expensive as it gets. It is something like we fight for, cause I remember, two days back, this building and the next building had a war over one tank. Because there was only one tank available, and we both wanted it, so basically they paid more and they got it."
