Rev up that Aston Martin, because the rumors are going full throttle in Episode 14 of The Words are Not Enough!

In this episode Griffin (@griffschiller) and Brody (@brodyserravalli) discuss the following:

Tomorrow Never Lies
* Reddit thinks it knows Bond
* A rumour comes from Reddit user CashleyPersia who claims to have an inside scoop on some behind the scenes developments on Bond 25: “I work in the film industry and know people tangentially connected to the world of Bond. Boyle is said to have a female villain at the centre of his Bond film and he is actively casting the role now.”
* Additionally, CashleyPersia alleges that Angelina Jolie is set to play the villain, while Lily James and Dua Lipa, among others, are in the running for Daniel Craig’s co-lead. “I’ve heard that Boyle has committed to a script and casting is underway.” They continued: “Supposedly, the big roles in the script are the female villain and Bond's understudy (another female role). “I hear Sophie Rundle, Lily James, Ella Purnell and Antonia Thomas have auditioned/met with Boyle (though this list is not exhaustive). The role is not a love interest however, [it’s] the co-lead of the film. I’ve also heard that Boyle isn't adverse to discovering a new name and possibly someone who isn't an actress. Though it sounds like a moronic suggestion, I've heard the singer Dua Lipa is high on the list.” The leaker added: “Finally, the main villain has been written with Angelina Jolie in mind. I’ve heard this name for a very long while. I never quite trusted it but Boyle has wanted her since day one and it looks as though she's keen. They are now actively courting her and the script is being adjusted accordingly.”
* The rumours of Bond's death may be greatly exaggerated:
* Another rumour making the rounds in Hollywood right is that of Bond's apparent death in Bond 25. An apparent source has said the following: “It is written as Craig's final Bond film and I hear Logan being used as a comparison often still.”
* MCU-style shared universe for Bond?
* Is James Bond about to evolve further into the modern world of shared movie universes ala Marvel and Star Wars? It certainly looks that way and there’s evidence that Craig’s final 007 movie will be the catalyst that sets up the Bond expanded universe. The first whiff of this arrived in June 2017 when The Tracking Board’s Jeff Sneider claimed he’d heard Bond producers were exploring the idea. Sneider, a writer for the Hollywood Insider, tweeted: “I’ve heard the Broccolis have caught Universe Fever and would love to explore other corners of the Bond franchise... simultaneously.”
* Bond's got new rules, Danny Boyle counts 'em
* Bookmakers have reduced the odds of Dua being named as the Bond theme singer, now making her the favourite, with Ed Sheeran and Jessie J also being strongly touted as potential artists to get involved.
* Michael Shannon Bond villain?
* Michael Shannon was recently a guest on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Fallon brought up the potential for Shannon to take on the role of the villain in the upcoming Bond film. Shannon replied with the following: “I think this might have something to do with the fact that out of all the people I’ve been said I resemble – and there’s a rather long list – but the only one that’s probably at the top is a Mr Richard Kiel, who played the fellow Jaws in old timey James Bond movies. Yeah that’s who people say I look like most often. You’d know who’d make a good Bond villain? My cat.”
* Deadpool 2's Morena Baccarin weighs in on becoming Bond
* While doing an interview with CinePop for the upcoming Deadpool 2, Morena Baccain, who plays Vanessa in the film, was asked who she thought should play Bond next: “I think...
