Freida Pinto has apparently signed up to be Daniel Craig's next Bond girl
Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto is set to follow in the footsteps of Eva Green and Gemma Arterton by becoming Daniel Craig's Bong girl - let's hope her boyfriend Dev Patel isn't the jealous type!
Due to be directed by Sam Mendes, who's obviously keeping busy following his split from Kate Winslet, the film will apparently be set in Afghanistan, with a source telling the Daily Mirror:
"Sam (Mendes) 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. Peter Morgan, who wrote The Queen, has penned the first draft of the script and it promises to be visually stunning.
"It will be a typically glamorous and raunchy role and Dev has been joking to friends he is cool with seeing Freida rolling around with 007."
Meanwhile, Penelope Cruz has reportedly just signed up to play Johnny Depp's love interest in the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film. We hope that after seeing her partner role around with Angelina Jolie in upcoming flick The Tourist, Vanessa Paradise is as chilled as Dev!
