Django Unchained actor Christoph Waltz might be taking on the role of iconic Bond bad guy Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the upcoming 007 movie, James Bond 24, which is poised to begin shooting next month.

The two-time Oscar-winning actor was supposedly set to play an "extremely cunning" character, and that it wasn't "immediately evident whether the part’s friend, or foe, or a bit of both." Now, Daily Mail is reporting that Waltz will play Blofeld, famous for his white cat and devious undertakings.

"Christoph Waltz is playing Blofeld in the next Bond film," am unnamed source told Daily Mail. "The tone of the 007 films has changed significantly in recent years and the producers have changed the character to fit in with the new-look 007."

Sources also say that "the new Blofeld will be just as sinister as earlier incarnations but will be more sophisticated and less ‘campy'."

Waltz's involvement in the film will be confirmed in a press conference early next month, but the site says that Eon Productions will announce his role as ski instructor Franz Oberhauser to cover up Waltz's actual role.

If the news proves to be true, this will be the first time since 1981 that Blofeld appeared in an official Bond film. Donald Pleasence and Charles Gray previously portrayed the character, who has become one of cinema's greatest villains.

Waltz joins co-stars Lea Seydoux, Naomie Harris, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw and, of course, Daniel Craig. Bond 24 will be directed by Skyfall's Sam Mendes and be released in 2015

Stabbing Westward was an American industrial rock band formed in 1989 by Christopher Hall (lead singer) and Walter Flakus (keyboards, programming). The band went through several different lineups during their thirteen year career. Christopher and Walter are the only original members. The pair was renowned as the song writing team behind most of Stabbing Westward's radio hits including "Save Yourself", "Shame", "So Far Away Nothing", "Lies" and "Violent Mood Swings". After four albums that included two gold records and eight years of touring with such music greats as Depeche Mode, the Sex Pistols, Kiss, Killing Joke, Front 242, Placebo and the Cult; Stabbing Westward formally broke up February 9, 2002. The Dreaming is a reunion of Stabbing Westward's founding members. The songwriting team is back with singer, Christopher Hall and keyboardist Walter Flakus, along with the one-time Stabbing Westward drummer Johnny Haro. The band is rounded out with Deadsy / Orgy guitarist Carlton Bost and bassist Brent Ashley from Static X. The Dreaming's previous releases include the single Every Trace, from their second record "PUPPET" which climbed the U.S. rock charts in 2012. "Ugly" was released in 2007 and "Etched in Blood" was featured on the Electra soundtrack. The band toured with acts such as Trust Company, Flaw and Trapt. The new album titled Rise Again was Chris Hall's choice. He wanted to deliver an album that brought back the early Stabbing Westward sound that fans have been asking for.

Although the name Stabbing Westward is now dead and buried, the founders of the band are pleased to "Rise Again" as The Dreaming with the intense and haunting music that made them a multi-platinum band.

Out by early January is a brand new cover album by Leaether Strip. "Aeppreciation" is a tribute to some of Claus Larsen's favorite artists including PJ Harvey, Soft Cell, Siouxsie and the banshees, The Normal, Twice a man, Bronski Beat, Depeche Mode, Dead or alive, David Bowie, Cher, Judas Priest, Fad Gadget - Frank Tovey, Yazoo, DEVO, The Cure, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Kurt Grünewald Hansen, Roland Danielzig, Pia & Buster and Rest in peace Mother.
