Bond's New Heroine

Actress Gemma Arterton of the show 'St Trinian' will be the next Bond girl. It will be her second film.

One website reports that the 22-year old beat 1,500 other women to co-star with Daniel Craig in the movie tentatively titled Bond 22. Filming starts in January.

According to the Daily Mail, Gemma learned of her success only this week and has been sworn to secrecy until the complete cast is revealed later this month. The Sun claims that Gemma sent her mother Sally a text saying: "I got Bond!" Interestingly enough, Mother Craig also broke the news of her son being cast as James Bond.

What makes the story doubtful is the fact that the last information Bond fans got was that producers are looking for a South-American Bond girl and that auditions had taken place in Brazil and Panama.
