Older than Bond23.net herself, this rumor has legs… if not foundation.

According to the Toronto Sun Pinto, famed for Slumdog Millionaire, is keeping her options open and is ‘coy’ about any role in Bond 23:

“As Bond?” she responds, smiling. “I don’t know — I haven’t read anything, I haven’t seen anything yet, so I’m not sure about that. I’m not predicting anything. I cannot see the future.”

“If the character’s interesting and not just a cardboard cut-out — because I have a problem doing that. But I’d like to be Bond.”

We’ve heard them all before… but they’re back. French website www.terrafemina.com is reporting Freida Pinto and Olivia Wilde as hot Bond girl candidates, along with the appointment of Sam Mendes.

Followers of the rocky Bond 23 pre-production will recall that both these names have emerged before.

Pinto has admitted she sees herself as “too young” for a James Bond girl role in the upcoming film, but the internet is persistent and in March 2010 the UK paper The Mirror trotted out the rumor once more.

Wilde – cast in the upcoming extravaganza, Cowboys and Aliens – emphatically denied any links to 007 and Bond 23 via twitter the same month as the Pinto rumours recirculated.

The old Freida Pinto + James Bond 23 rumor hits the tabloids… again

She’s back in the spotlight again!

This time the English paper the Mirror has an “insider” source that tells us that Freida Pinto, Slumdog Millionaire star has won a role in James Bond 23. Not even Pinto and her agent can deter the presses from “confirming” her as a James Bond girl. An insider reportedly says:

“Sam has been talking about Bond for months now and is so excited about it.

“The project has been in the pipeline for months and Freida was always the dream Bond girl, but initially she was nervous about accepting it. This is going to be the most ambitious 007 yet. Sam plans to reinvent the genre.

“Peter Morgan, who wrote The Queen, has penned the first draft of the script and it promises to be visually stunning.

“It will be a typically glamorous and raunchy role and Dev has been joking to friends he is cool with seeing Freida rolling around with 007.”

Bond23.net can’t find a second source to corroborate.

Would Pinto take the James Bong girl anyway? Readers will recall her voicing her thoughts about being ‘too young’ for any Bond girl role.

The article in question also says that the new James Bond movie is likely to shoot in “the Afghan capital Kabul” – at least the rumors are consistent.

This week the Times of India talked to Freida Pinto, who the press had previously been touting as a Bond girl contender.

The new Indian actress on the Hollywood scene says that she had “no idea where that came from,” when quizzed about the Bond rumors.

“Even my LA agents were curious. But this is a Bond thing, it happens with a lot of actresses, or with those in the news. It was very flattering, I must say, and I don’t know if I would have done it. I’m too young to be a Bond girl.

“There’s not much of a role, though some of them have become iconic, and you need somebody more mature and beautiful than me.”
