Turns out the British tabloids aren’t always wrong. EW has confirmed reports in Rupert Murdoch’s News of the World earlier today that actress Naomie Harris (Pirates of the Caribbean, 28 Days Later) is being considered to star as a Bond girl in Bond 23, the stand-in title for the long-delayed, soon-to-shoot 007 movie. A spokesperson for Eon Productions, Bond’s home, tells EW that Harris has indeed met with the filmmakers, although no deals have yet been struck. Beyond that, all we know about the film is that Sam Mendes will direct, Daniel Craig will return as Bond for the third time, and Judi Dench will be back as M. Although EW has not confirmed it, the British tabs have also reported that offers to play the villain have gone out to Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes. Who knows? Maybe they’re right about that too.

Naomie is beautiful and a great actress. I hope this is true.
Hopefully they find a MUCH hotter actress. Good Lord.
true!! pick me!! tee-hee!
IF ever she’ll be a bond girl/villain hope she dies quickly in the first few scenes like the one who got twisted around the hammock! TEE-HEE!
a very good choice if chosen.
good on her!
she’s done so well since she appeared in 28 days later.
this is a great choice…it’s always nice to have a bond girl/villain who isn’t the stereotypical pretty white face
Aw come on, we all know Denise Richards was the best bond girl ever, right? … right? *gag*
Great choice Bond producers! Naomie Harris is a fine actress and I hope she gets more exposure in the U.S. from this film (not just the 2nd & 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean movies)!
she was also in Street Kings.a good role,plus you got to see how beautiful she is without nudity.
She is beautiful but just don’t let her be a crazy one. All the previous black females that have been Bond girls have all been on the bad side and have all been a little crazy(May Day). Just let her be normal and strong. Not a crazy damsel in distress that the audience hates!!!
Halle Berry as Jinx from DIE ANOTHER DAY….I don’t remember her being crazy…just sexy and beautiful. But I do hope they don’t create a asexual but sassy sidekick type.
Yeah but Berry was annoying as hell. She helped make the movie awful.
I’m not paying to see that crap.
Why is Hugo Weaving never in the running for a Bond villain? He was born for it!
Agreed! Love that man. He might be trying to avoid being typecast though (The Matrix, Captain America etc).
Because any Bond villain he would play would always be compared to Agent Smith.
@ Ruby… Boo, he was Lord Elrond. He could never be type cast as villain after playing Elf-kind…
Because the various vagrants that are the vain critics would viciously and vapidly and victoriously vex him.
What about the girl from Quantum of Solace? Is her story finished? I’ve always thought that Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and the next one were meant as a trilogy of sorts.
Is it supposed to be a trilogy? If so, and as much as I love love love Daniel Craig as Bond, Michael Fassbender should take over the role.
Fassbender is my favorite actor, no joke. He would truly be great as Bond. Good suggestion!
Why should he take over now if it is supposed to be a trilogy? That doesn’t make any sense.
That story is over, no trilogy arc intended for these. Though there are rumors this could be the last time Craig plays Bond. Craig and one of the producers have stated before that the next one will be a new story and have nothing to do with the previous two movies.
Yes!
Really impressed with Naomie in “The First Grader,” now in select theaters. Check it out if it’s in your town.
………a lil strange
Oh my gosh please please please let this be true and go through! Naomi would be magnificent. I’ve loved all her roles so far, especially loving the lesser-known films, and she’s terrific. And stunningly beautiful. She should be getting more A-list parts. For example, they chose Amy Adams to be Lois Lane in the new Superman movies. WTF? Why not Naomi? Terrible.
Don’t try and advocate for people that you can’t even spell their names. It’s insipid. Spare us your obnoxious insecure ill-informed opinions, bozo.
We got another troll ladies and gentlemen: introducing Melania.
Because it was truly obnoxious and ridiculous to post such a belligerent, disproportionately reactionary reply.
“Don’t try and advocate for people that you can’t even spell their names.”
What is truly insipid is your complete lack of understanding of how to form a coherent sentence. Think hard before you hit “post comment,” moron.
please not a black girl again.
Why not Terry? Go to England (this might scare you) but there are black people there & guess what? They sound just like the white people.
Dammit Summer Bay! Why did u reply to Terry? Commenters like that are only trolls, purposely trying to stir the pot for some petty little satisfaction.
Ribbit ribbit.
As long as she is the scary bad evil spector inc. lady, then ok.
Yawn!
Yeah its not its a white girl every film though.
No it isn’t. You are delusional.
Isn’t divesity a travesty? How dare they cast her. Maybe you can sit this one out and wait for the next one with white girl. May take a few years though.
She’s kind of a homely thing. She does nothing for me.
Even you could hit that. Amazing.
The picture used in this article doesn’t do her justice.
Reading above, it says she is being considered for A Bond girl, not THE Bond girl. There have been multiple female interests in each of Daniel Craig’s films.
Two words: Miss Moneypenny.
Too bad Eva Green can’t come back.
Seriously. Love her. I was so mad when Vesper (SPOILER, I guess?) died. She and Daniel were great together.
As long as Danny is playing Bond the series is on my banned list.
So no Olivia Wilde/Freida Pinto? I was really excited about them.
I was excited about Frieda Pinto too. She would have been great. I would love Rose Byrne too. Just because I love her and her work. Not sure if she could pull it off though.
It’s about time they used a nice looking woman for a change, so tired of all those pasty goons.
