Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire) has signed up to be
Bond girl in the
23rd James Bond movie, according to UK's
Daily Mirror.
The 24-year-old actress will be seen alongside
Daniel Craig in the upcoming 007 movie, which is to be directed by
Sam Mendes and will be set in Afghanistan.
It will be a typically glamorous and raunchy role and Dev Patel (her offscreen lover) has been joking to friends he is cool with seeing Freida rolling around with 007.
Meanwhile,
Olivia Wilde (Tron: Legacy, House) is reportedly in talks to star as the second Bond girl in the 23rd outing of the spy franchise.
Sam has been talking about Bond for months now and is so excited about it. The project has been in the pipeline for months and Freida was always the dream Bond girl, but initially she was nervous about accepting it. This is going to be the most ambitious 007 yet. Sam plans to reinvent the genre
said a source.
Peter Morgan, who wrote The Queen, has penned the first draft of the script and it promises to be visually stunning.
