Gemma Arterton is the Next 007 Bond Girl

Tuesday December 18, 2007
Gemma Arterton has been cast as the next 007 Bond girl and she'll star in Bond 22: Quantum of Solace. It looks like Gemma would be working alongside hunky actor Daniel Craig. IMDb adds that she beat out 1,500 other starlets for the coveted spot because of her "modern look."

When she was only 21 and just out of drama school, Gemma managed to land the lead role in St. Trinian's, a film that Sienna Miller was up for. Will Gemma be good enough to compete with the gorgeous Bond girls who came before her? I’d be intimidated if I were being compared to Halle Berry, wouldn't you?

We love her here in London and I hope the rumours are real! Gemma is lovely and would be so terrific for that part!
