'Bond 24' News: Two Of The Hottest Models Battle It Out For The Bond Girl Role; Bond Villain Still Unknown; New 007 Flick To Have Major Scenes Filmed In Rome

Daniel Craig is set to return to play James Bond in the new 007 flick "Bond 24."

While the studio behind the new movie has only shared a few details to the fans, "Bond 24" news claim that the setting of the upcoming Bond flick will be in Rome, Italy.  While "Skyfall" took over the streets of London, "Bond 24" is inclined to have a more Mediterranean setting.

According to M16-HQ, Lazio film commissioner Luciano Sovena has confirmed that "Bond 24" producers have expressed their intent to film a scene in Rome, particularly a car chase in the Four Fountains intersection.

"I met the producers of the Bond series, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson, and we discussed the project," Sovena said.

"One of the key scenes will be a car chase in Via Quattro Fontane. I'm already excited."

He added: "I hope that the City streamlines the procedures for the granting of permits, it would be a shame to miss this great opportunity because of the bureaucracy."

Apart from the fact that "Bond 24" will continue where "Skyfall" has left off, there has been no official confirmation on the new movie's plot.  The same goes for the cast members.

But the real thrill is knowing who will finally play the Bond villain and the Bond girl in the new Bond movie.  Previous reports have already linked Daniel Radcliffe, Ron Perlman and Kevin Spacey to the movie as the next Bond villain.

Meanwhile, two of the hottest models of this time have already expressed their intent to play the Bond Girl role.  Kate Upton and Cara Delevingne are both up for the much coveted role.

A source told The Mirror, "Cara hinted she would love to be involved, but the makers of Bond had already started considering her as somebody they would be interested in. Obviously she's striking, she's well known and she's establishing herself as a talented actress. There would be a real buzz about getting her involved and the signs are all good. ­Everybody is excited."

While Upton in an interview shared her views about the role, saying:

"It's a very prestigious title, and it would be a very cool role. I would need to go through some intense training to learn all the Bond Girl moves."

"Bond 24" is slated for a November 2015 release.
