Last but not least: New Swiss star in the movie sky

 
Anatole Taubman is our new man in the realm of movie stars. The 36-year-old, who was born and raised in Zurich, told the Tuesday edition of "Glanz&Gloria" that he had landed the role of co-villain in the next James Bond film. "For a European, a role in a James Bond film is like a golden ticket," he said happily. "There's nothing better, I'm over the moon." Filming is due to start in Bregenz in January 2008. He wants his family to ride the Bond wave, regardless of whether he is in his penthouse suite in London or in South America, he said in the celebrity and star show. Everything is contractually regulated: "I am allowed to fly my family in first class to all places in the world". The father of two daughters has lived in Berlin with his partner for several years.
Taubman has already appeared in several international productions, including the Hollywood thriller "Taken" with Liam Neeson, the US TV series "The Tudors" and the BBC production "Waking the Dead". The fact that he is now starring in "Bond 22", directed by Marc Forster, who is also Swiss, is almost a major event for Switzerland. The rest of the world probably doesn't care, and Ursi National will have a few nostalgic moments.
