Freida Pinto Could Be the Next Bond Girl

http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00022751.html

There is a chance that "Slumdog Millionaire" beauty, Freida Pinto, ends up being the new Bond girl in "Bond 23". The Sun recently broke out that executive producer Barbara Broccoli is eager to have the 24-year-old joining the cast of the next installment for the 007 agent movie series, and that Pinto has been invited to a screen test.

Giving more info on the matter, the trade quoted a source who explained that the actress has caught the producers' attention since "Quantum of Solace" casting. "Freida came to the attention of the Bond team when they were casting Quantum of Solace," the source noted. "She was too young at the time to have a part as a love interest for a secret agent. But she has blossomed into an incredibly stunning young woman and would look perfect on Daniel Craig's arm."

Speculations on Pinto's possible involvement with the super agent movie came not long after "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Boyle was reported to have been offered the opportunity to direct the next James Bond movie, a rumor which was quickly denied by Boyle himself. Nonetheless, The Sun's source claimed, "Danny Boyle is favourite to take the helm of the next movie, which would increase Freida's chances of a starring role."

Making her big break with her Latika role in "Slumdog Millionaire", Freida Pinto is an Indian actress and professional model. For her performance as the girl whom Dev Patel's Jamal is in love with, she received a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the 62nd BAFTA Awards. Next, Pinto will be seen starring alongside Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas, and Naomi Watts for a Woody Allen movie, "Untitled Woody Allen Project".

"She was too young at the time to have a part as a love interest for a secret agent. But she has blossomed into an incredibly stunning young woman and would look perfect on Daniel Craig's arm"

that sounds like such a made-up reason, it's like they'd never have even thought twice about her but now shes flavour of the month they're all for it. Like a year and half makes an integral difference.

^My thougts exactly!

The Chanel tote is beyond ridiculous. However I'm sure it was a freebie.

And I personally love her candid style. She's yet to really let me down in the style department. Her acting talent on the other hand is a whole different ball game. She has quite a minor role in Slumdog so I'm surprised that she's being given all these great movie roles when she really hasn't shown what she can do. But I guess you can look at it as what a better way to show off your acting chops than jumping right in .

She's getting these opportunities because she's beautiful, just "exotic enough" and was in one of last year's best films. Where's the dilemma? I've seen white actresses get roles based on far less.

Yeah I went there.

Well, that's not always true . Gemma Arterton, the Bond girl in Quantum of Solace, was 21 at the time of filming the movie. Freida has a couple of years on her.

 

[Rebel Yell]

She's gorgeous! Seems like her popularity is really on the rise..

 

[scriptgirl]

I hope she doesn't take the Bond role. Very few actresses have had long careers after being in one of those films.

The casting for Bond girls always comes out after the movie is already set into production so I'm sure it's not going to be her next project.

Eh, it's true.

Good lord must every indian actress go through the bond girl routine? Aishwarya, Sushmita, Diana Hayden and now Freida. Although I would love for her to get it, she will look awful next to daniel craig, he looks about 55 and she looks about 17.

I agree in a way, if Freida were darker I don't think she'd get this much hype (which is beyond sad). I'm happy for her though.

I agree with you honeyisle.

Funny what you said tew/stroke. To her people she's not that light. I've read things that have been said about her on Indian based websites, and brutal is an understatement at some of the comments.

I hope she gets it. I think she can look her age. In some of these photos, she does to me.

Not really she is not wat Traditionally/ideally considred beautiful or light she is not very "bollywood" for them people pick Aishwarya or Karishma,kareena over someone like Freida Pinto,Lakshmi menon or Nandita Das

Btw the bond girl turned out to be a rumour

In my opinion, I think Freida was the one with the crush on Dev.

 

[Sugarmama]

She looks so small in those photos.

 

[scriptgirl]

Not sure how I feel about the dress. The shoes make her feet look humongous!
I don't think there was anything between either Dev or Freida.
