Megan Fox is No Bond Girl
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Columbia Pictures, MGM, Action, Sequels, Casting, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors, Upcoming Releases
Megan Fox might not be interested in becoming the next Lara Croft, but she wouldn’t be silly enough to overlook a 007 film. At least not yet.
Despite reports that the Terminator star had turned down a chance to play a Bond girl, her rep denies ever getting an opportunity. While it’s quite possible the 23-year-old would “rather be a more central part of the movie,” the actress is currently not a part of any sequel.
“The report about Megan Fox turning down a Bond movie is completely not true. There have been no discussions nor any offers. Megan is a fan of the Bond movies,” the rep stated.
But seriously—wouldn’t we rather see Freida Pinto as the new Bond girl anyway?

Is Freida Pinto the Next Bond Girl?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Columbia Pictures, MGM, Action, Sequels, Casting, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors
Hollywood definitely recognizes a hot gem when it sees one.
Although her Oscar-winning film is still charting in the Top Ten, Slumdog Millionaire’s Freida Pinto is already moving on to the next phase of her career. Just weeks ago, the former model was cast alongside Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin and Anthony Hopkins in an untitled Woody Allen project. Now she is being rumored for something with an even higher profile.
According to a British newspaper, the 24-year-old is now being considered for the next Bond film. A source for The Sun claims Pinto’s name was actually known to them prior to her recent success. “Freida came to the attention of the Bond team when they were casting Quantum of Solace. 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,” the insider stated.
If the reports are true, it’s possible Freida could be reuniting with her Slumdog director for the 007 flick. The same paper also claims Danny Boyle has been asked to helm the latest installment.

Up until now, the 22nd installment in the Bond franchise had simply been known as Bond 22. Now the latest Daniel Craig outing officially has a name: Quantum of Solace.
Solace, which is scheduled for a Nov. 7th release, will pick up where Casino Royale left off. British actress Gemma Arterton joins Craig on this latest mission as Agent Fields while Mathieu Amalric (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) will assume the role of the nemesis. Meanwhile, Olga Kurylenko has the honor of replacing Eva Green as the latest Bond girl.
Now’s your time to vote. Which 2008 sequel currently has the worst title: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull or Quantum of Solace?
