Gael Garcia Bernal Could Be Next "Bourne" Villain
First we hear that David Strathairn has joined the cast of "The Bourne Ultimatum," and now comes word that international star Gael Garcia Bernal is on the top of the producers' list for the role of Head Baddie.
From The Hollywood Reporter: ""The Bourne Ultimatum," the third installment of Universal Pictures' successful action series, began shooting this week in Tangier, but it is still without a worthy nemesis for its amnesiac spy hero, Jason Bourne. With the clock ticking, an offer has gone out to Gael Garcia Bernal to take on the role, though negotiations have not yet begun. Matt Damon is back as Bourne, and Joan Allen and Julia Stiles are back as well. David Strathairn also has joined the cast."

He is such a talented actor and he doesnt get the recognition he deserves. At least this will net him a few quid and put him in the spotlight so more roles will be open to him. Loved him in The King (Reply to this) |

Mikeal420 writes: on Oct 03 2006 09:35 AM [b]awesome[/b] Gael Garcia Bernal is definetly on level with acotrs like Edward Norton or Dicaprio as one of the greatest young actors around. He has appeared in probably more films than the other two combined but still has not broken into the American mainstream-- oh wait, I forgot we hate subtitles and can no longer stand dubbing, foreign films don't stand a chance (Reply to this) |

Besides all this unless Gael has changed his mind for the allmighty dollar or any other reason, he was quoted that at the moment he was not interested in appearing in hollywood films, that he was quite content with what he was doing.
