MI6.co.uk, a James Bond fan site, states: "Pires was amongst the final group of actresses competing for the part. If reports hold true, the other finalists from Brazil are Guilhermina Guinle, Rita Guedes and the much-tipped Juliana Paes. It is understood that another round of tests is to take place in the coming days.

Israeli model and actress Moran Atias is reportedly the only non-South American actress left in the running."
