Page Six says a little-known performer has come out as the unexpected favorite to portray the next James Bond. He is now in the lead. A group of six candidates will sit for camera tests in September. Jack Barton is among the names. Callum Turner is another. Jack Lowden and Jacob Elordi are on that list too.

Youth is a big priority in Amazon MGM's search for the new 007. They are after a young actor. The talent search ran into delays more than once. September tests point to real progress. The company has stayed quiet on the record.
