Bardem: Bond Or Tower?

I don't think Javier Bardem will be standing in any unemployment lines this year. Deadline has posted that Bardem was offered a starring role in the upcoming James Bond film recently set for a November 9, 2012, release. Deadline notes that the role being offered Bardem is probably the villain.

Deadline writes, "Bardem received his Best Actor nomination for Biutiful and another high-profile offer of a lead role, that of gunslinger Roland Deschain in the Ron Howard-directed trilogy based on Stephen King's novel series The Dark Tower."
