Semper Occultus Casting
4th October 2003
MI6 can bring you exciting exclusive news
on the latest spy film currently under development - "Semper
Occultus".
MI6 has been informed that Sir Roger Moore, the third
and longest running 007, will be receiving the screenplay
next week.
Writer/Producer Ben Trebilcook and Director
Michael Hurst [Baby Juice Express, New Blood] told us they
sought the Bond legend as the perfect fit for the "C" role
- the MI6 Director General - "once an agent, now he
controls them".
"Semper Occultus" puts a new twist on the usual
spy movie formula as the central character - an MI6 spy
like 007 - will be female.
The film title is the Latin
motto for the British Secret Intelligence Service meaning "always
secret", and the potential for a franchise sporting
a female Bond type character has sparked huge developments. |

Sought to play MI6 Director
'C' |
Former model and ex-"Big Breakfast" UK television
presenter turned Hollywood actress Kelly Brook [The Italian Job,
Smallville], is lined up to play the central character MI6 Agent
Daisy Norton-Hall.
British born action star Jason Statham [The Italian Job, The
Transporter, Snatch] will play the villain. The former professional
diver turned action star performed almost all of his own stunts
and fight sequences on his first main picture The Transporter.
Brook and Statham, currently dating, will be adversaries on
screen as the MI6 agent hunts down the renegade ex-SAS operative.
Danny Glover [Lethal Weapon 1-4, Predator 2, The Royal Tenenbaums],
famous for his buddy role with Mel Gibson in the Lethal Weapon
series, is being sought to play the Director of the FBI.
