The newest James Bond movie, "Skyfall," naturally comes with a new Bond girl - Sévérine, played by French actress Berenice Marlohe. In the flick, Marlohe says her Bond girl is "glamorous and enigmatic" and she drew inspiration from Famke Janssen's "GoldenEye" villainess Xenia Onatopp.
Marlohe was recently spotted at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, shining brightly in her gorgeous dresses. In the above picture, left, Marlohe attends the premiere of "Amour" in a black evening gown. In the middle, she poses during a photoshoot at the Hotel Martinez. And right, Marlohe sparkles in gold for the premiere of "Vous N'avez Encore Rien Vu."
The actress has previously done several movies in France, but "Skyfall," the 23rd Bond film, will be the 33-year-old actress' first onscreen foray onto this side of the pond. Are you excited for "Skyfall"? It opens Nov. 9, 2012.

On top of the two new images you see in this post we also have word on the film's plot in which Neeson will return as Bryan Mills.

So I suggest she and my daughter come over for a few days and hang out with me in this amazing city. And then... [laughs] all this sh*t happens, of course."

Neeson Takes Aim In First Shot From Taken 2!
17 May 2012 12:15 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
It’s been four years since Liam Neeson traveled to France, in an attempt to save his annoying kidnapped daughter Maggie Grace from a perverse sex-slave ring. The 2008 Luc Besson produced action-thriller, in which the Irish acting legend was swiftly turned into an action hero, saw Neeson star as retired C.I.A. operative Bryan Mills. Taken was huge enjoyable hit and there can’t be many people who didn’t enjoy the Schindler’S List Acadamy Award-nominee, taking out a room full Parisian villains with such ass-kicking skill.
Transporter 3 director Oliver Megaton takes over Pierre Morel for sequel Taken 2. Thn has the first image of Neeson’s Mills, taking aim with a pistol while traveling on a train. The film hits cinemas 5th October and co-stars the returning Grace, Famke Janssen and Leland Orser. Snatch’s Rade Serbedzija will play the films main villain, a father to »

All you need to do is tell us Liam Neeson is in a movie to have us immediately be interested in it. But add guns and some intrigue to that mix? We're sold. So it shouldn't be much of a surprise to find out that we're pretty thrilled about his upcoming flick "Taken 2."

Liam Neeson will soon have made major appearances in three films released this year (The Grey, Wrath of the Titans and this week’s Battleship). However, the fan-fave Irishman’s most-anticipated vehicle, Taken 2, has yet to hit the scene.
Taken co-writers Luc Beeson and Robert Mark Kamen joined forces yet again on the script for Taken 2; directorial duties on the sequel were handed over to Olivier Megaton, another alum of House Besson – who previously helmed Transporter 3 and Colombiana. Also returning alongside Neeson as members of the Taken 2 cast are Famke Janssen and Maggie Grace, plus new additions like popular character actor Rade Sherbedgia.
In an interview with EW, Neeson shed light on where Bryan Mills is at in life (following the events of Taken):

With Olivier Megaton (Colombiana) taking over the helm from Pierre Morel, Taken 2 sees the return of Liam Neeson after the mammoth success of 2008’s Taken, which turned a $26m. budget into almost ten times that at the box office.

In 2008’s Taken, Liam Neeson’s turn as a retired special-ops agent trying to rescue his kidnapped daughter from sex traffickers in Paris did a lot more than scare teens away from ever wanting to visit Europe.
It was also a surprise blockbuster, collecting $226 million worldwide and reestablishing the Schindler’s List Oscar-nominee as a major action star.

First Look At Scarlett Johansson In Under The Skin!
14 May 2012 2:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
After Avengers Assemble, Scarlet Johansson is making an art of playing sexy-but-deadly killing machines. And she’ll be turning on the charms once again for Jonathan Glazer’s Under The Skin, in which she’ll play an alien disguised as a right nice dolly bird, who uses her sexuality to lure unsuspecting human prey. But, as these things usually turn out, she soon discovers humanity, leading to a clash with her own race.
Johansson will join a list of deadly ladies, who would be totally worth dying for. Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, Famke Janssen in Goldeneye, Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns. Phwoar etc.
Check out the first official image below – it looks like the Sexy Beast director Glazer is taking his cue from film noir, a genre famous for its lethal female characters.

Bond Girls of the Past 50 Years Infographic
9 May 2012 4:30 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Over the past 50 years James Bond has had no shortage of lovely ladies. Shortage of good scripts or directors... maybe. But of babes? Never. Here's a very well-made infographic of all the Bond girls put together by CableTV.Com celebrating the Golden Anniversary of 007. My vote for the hottest Bond girl since I've been born has to be Famke Janssen. Her look is totally dated now, unlike the timeless bond girls of the now cool again 60's, but she had my full attention in Goldeneye. Cutest has to be Gemma Arterton in Quantum of Solace. Stupidest... Halle Berry. She was the icing on the "this movie is terrible" cake. Who are your favorite Bond girls??? »

CinemaCon: First Footage From Taken 2 Screened
26 April 2012 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
We're still catching up on the Fox presentation we watched earlier, but since they were covering the entire year, it would only be expected that they'd have some new footage from Luc Besson's anticipated action-thriller Taken 2 , returning Liam Neeson to the role of ex-cia agent Bryan Mills, who had to save his daughter from the Armenian sex trade in the 2008 Fox hit Taken . There isn't a lot to say about the footage they showed except that it opens with Neeson's Bryan being greeted by his wife (Famke Janssen) and daughter (Maggie Grace), saying "We wanted to surprise you!" They all seem happy so clearly the family issues from the first movie have been resolved. Although there's another family who isn't as happy and that's the large group of men standing around »
