According to the tabloid News of the world Naomie Harris is officially the next bond girl (apparently you need to be subscriber to be able to link up the News of the world article)

and here is what she looks like

She is attractive and we'll see if it's true or not Personally I like that at least we have a new name to talk about but I wish it was from a better source.

So what do you think Legit False Hot not Bond girl material?

    Again, I'd say not true.

    By the way, perhaps now is the time for a dedicated Bond girl rumour thread?

    Perhaps.

    Key phrase: 'News of the world says...'

    It's not her, at least not yet.

    Mèh, I hope not. I'm not crazy about her. Wish they'd get me a woman of some substance for the next Bond film.

    That is just a cheap trick to get more views on his blog. Zero chance in my book.

    For those who don't recognise her, Naomie Harris was the crazy sea goddess character with the bad teeth in the two pants, middle Pirates films.

    In my book, (outside those two flicks) she's certainly a looker and a decent actress, and so I wouldn't say no to her casting as a Bond girl. However, given its source and timing (long before production for Bond 23 gets underway, relatively speaking), I suspect this 'scoop' is probably bunkem. But you never know...

    News of the World is running with it: http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/notw/nol_showbiz/1314225/Naomie-Harris-is-new-Bond-girl.html

    Not that it counts as a credible source.

    in a blurb on google search I saw them mention Ralph Finnes Can you copy the story or at least Fiennes part. Does it say he has been offically cast to?

    The article says: "Ralph Fiennes is in the running for a role"... for what it is worth.

    True or not all will be revealed to us in time.
    As always though I would take anything from 'The News Of The World' or any British tabloid with a pinch of salt.

    Benny, I'd take anything from the British tabloids with the same amount of salt Bond knocked back after being poisoned in CR.

    All in good time though. Next month and August are when things should really get going if past Bond films are any indication.

    My anticipation is that by the end of the Summer they'll have released a (working) title and perhaps a few interesting names of people/characters. Maybe a minor few plot elements. Title theme performers are usually known a little after that. I'm sure that by the time we 'celebrate' new year's eve, we'll know a heluvalot of things concerning Bond 23.

    Update - she has apparently confirmed talks with Bond 23 production:

    Will these talks amount to anything I wonder? Often in the past they don't. Harris' character should be interesting considering the new route that the Bond films will apparently take.

    We'll see I wouldn't mind it. and I think Bond 23 is gonna go down as the film the tabloid were right about Mendes, Fiennes and now Harris all initially were rumored in not so credible sources and they are turning up to be mostly true we'll see what happens as I said before she is cute I'd be fine with it.

    I'm surprised we haven't had more official news already. What are they waiting on?

    Again, may be nothing but from this site's update they say someone has spoken to Naomie Harris today and she confirmed that she’d indeed been offered a role in the film. Could this story be gathering credibility?

    Around this time for previous films we've never really had any news, so why should this film be any different? Three months before filming begins the news should be coming in weekly - in this film's case, August.

    I hope it's not true! She will be another Rosie Carver!

    Eon just confirmed she is in talks is it possible that our first bit of Casting news might come out sooner then we thought? Pretty soon we might read Bond 23 starring Daniel Craig Judi Dench and Naomie Harris..

    I am hoping if the Announce Harris that we also get Fiennes announced as a few weeks ago a trusted source to the bond forum's claimed he has been officially cast pres release forth coming.

    I've seen her other works.

    I find her unimpressive, untalented, and annoying!

    Guess Broccoli and EON has learned nothing from their Halle Berry debacle!

    this is funny and so true too!

    Naomie Harris should be the next person to be put on this list!!

    I don't understand your statements at all, j7wild. You say that she will become another Rosie Carver...yet there's no indication what type of character she will play (or more accurately, has been in talks to play). How do you know that her character will be like a previous one? Unless you're meaning that Harris is somehow like the actress who played Rosie Carver...but they have had very different careers. Harris has been in some big films, in addition to some very well-received ones. Hendry had not. Where's the connection?

    Also - the "Halle Berry debacle". Again, I don't understand the connection. Berry had been in two very popular films (X-Men and Swordfish) and had given an Oscar-winning performance in Monster's Ball. How is that similar to Harris's career? I would imagine that most non-Brits wouldn't know who she was even if they had seen films she's been in (such as Miami Vice or Pirates of the Carribean). Berry was cast because she was very popular and well-known, especially with American audiences. If any actress should be equated with Berry's casting it should be Teri Hatcher. Both were cast based on percieved popularity with American audiences (one can make a further connection between Hatcher and Denise Richards, who were both alledgedly cast on how high up their names showed on lists of internet image searches).

    I've actually quite liked Harris in what I've seen her in. How is she annoying? I also thought she's given quite good performances in what I've seen her in - can you please provide details as to why you think she's untalented?

    @thelordflasheart - he would probably say that any potential Asian actress must be like Michelle Yeoh or Mie Hama. Pretty blinkered.
