The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed the rumor that British newcomer Gemma Arterton has been cast as the new Bond girl in Bond 22, currently filming in London for Columbia Pictures and MGM.
Arterton will play "Fields" in the Marc Forster-directed movie , which again stars Daniel Craig as Agent 007.
On Friday, Eon Prods. in London and Santa Monica-based Danjaq Prods., as well as Arterton's agent, ICM in London, confirmed the casting . Details of her character were not available, but a Danjaq rep said "it's a nice-sized role."
OK... I'm a bit freaked out now. I've seen the pics of Daniel on Bond 22 set in London and I went up to London yesterday (not Central - I was on the outskirts visiting a friend.) Had I been in the West End, I might have seen him!!!!! I was also thinking about him all day, hating not being at home where I can see him (dvd's, pics etc...) This is the downside of being in love with a man who spends most of his time living and working in the same country as you.... Too near and yet too far!!
