News

From the slums to the bed of James Bond?

According to rumors, spread by Great Britain's The Sun, Freida Pinto has been invited to a screen test for the next James Bond movie, tentatively titled Bond 23.

“Freida came to the attention of the Bond team when they were casting Quantum of Solace," said a source. "She was too young at the time to have a part as a love interest for a secret agent.”

Added the insider:

“[Slumdog Millionaire director] Danny Boyle is favorite to take the helm of the next movie, which would increase Freida’s chances of a starring role.”

From Slumdog Millionaire to a Woody Allen movie, life is good for Freida Pinto.

The actress will follow her role in this year's Best Picture with a part in Allen's next movie. As is always the case with this director's films, details of the project aren't widely known.

We can report, however, that Pinto will join a cast that includes Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin and Anthony Hopkins. Not shabby company.
