An excerpt from my latest newsletter! Read more at patreon.com/andtherunnerupis

• Saoirse Ronan really wants to be a Bond villain. Why won't they let her be a bloody Bond villain?! The 4-time Oscar nominee
has been banging the drum to play a villainess in the 007 franchise for years now, and is once again putting out feelers to see if producers will bite. With the casting of the new James Bond underway, Ronan is shooting her shot at the right time.

• "I want to go dark," she tells Empire in a new interview. "I said that I wanted to be a Bond villain and I'm dead serious.
I think it would be really interesting, having a young female villain. Especially for girls and women, to see someone who can just take all that pent-up anger and direct it somewhere, there's something interesting in that dramatically. So l would love to do more of that."

• Really hope this works out for her. We need to give Saoirse Ronan a gun. She can channel the energy she had in that Graham Norton interview where she got all those men to shut up. What's the worst that could happen?
