One actress denies her involvement in the film while another is rumored for a role
Despite the rumors, I have no plans to do Bond, but the internet may be confused as I am doing Cowboys & Aliens with Daniel Craig. fun!
Original Story: We're still not quite sure when the latest James Bond film will start production, although that hasn't stopped casting rumors from flying. Yahoo! UK originally reported that Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto was set for a role in James Bond 23, but now Ace Showbiz is reporting that she is not involved in the film.
"I would like to confirm that as of today, Freida Pinto has not been approached to be part of the next Bond film," the spokesperson tells India's site NDTV. "It is of course very flattering to even be rumoured to be part of a Bond film but she has certainly not been approached for the role of the next Bond girl opposite Daniel Craig as yet."
Ace Showbiz is also reporting that Olivia Wilde (Tron Legacy) is rumored for a part in the film. It was said that Wilde would play, "a double-crossing UN worker based in Afghanistan." It wasn't clear if this was the same role that Pinto was rumored to have landed.
Sam Mendes is set to direct James Bond 23 from a script by Peter Morgan, Neil Purvis and Robert Wade. No production schedule has been set for the film as of yet.
Cowboys & Aliens was released July 29th, 2011 and stars Daniel Craig, Abigail Spencer, Buck Taylor, Matthew Taylor, Cooper Taylor, Clancy Brown, Paul Dano, Chris Browning. The film is directed by Jon Favreau.
Skyfall comes to theaters November 9th, 2012 and stars Ralph Fiennes, Daniel Craig, Helen McCrory, Javier Bardem, Tonia Sotiropoulou, Bérénice Marlohe, Judi Dench, Naomie Harris. The film is directed by Sam Mendes.

Err
isn't being a bond girl like career suicide?
i'm not super up on bond statistics, but i looked at a list of past bond girls, and most it seems like most of their careers took a dive afterward.

She's great (physically and acting wise) in House, and looks good in Tron Legacy, so I say hell yes!

They should be able to get some sort of financing for the film. The last 2 were very successful.

They shouldn't cast this until they know when they can finance it.
Mmm_mmm: Your pun would have been better if you said "I'd let Olivia go wild on me." And I agree with that statement.
