Daniel Craig will once again be putting on the suit of 007 for the (currently titled) “Bond 22” film. This time he will have an up-and-coming actress to work along side him. Gemma Arterton has scored the role of the next Bond girl and will be aptly wooed by Craig in the next movie.

Eon Productions, the masterminds behind the current Bond films, is after a more modern look combined with a slight vulnerability. After graduating from the RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art ) this year, she worked behind a beauty counter to pay the rent. Gemma was then picked up for the role of a lifetime. Beating out Sienna Miller for a part in the film “St. Trinian’s,” she shared the screen with Rupert Everett and Colin Firth. She played a young seductress who uses sex appeal to get her way. (Complete with school girl outfit.)

Arterton is the next “big name” according to the buzz across the pond. She beat out over 1500 hopeful ladies for the role of Bond girl. Filming starts in January with an expected release date of November 7, 2008.
