Everybody loves a bond girl; gentlemen are able to develop friendships that are initially established with small talk based firstly on their favorite bond girls and later films. From knockouts such as Ursula Andress in DR. NO to the bewitching appearance of Halle Berry in DIE ANOTHER DIE each new female edition to the franchise is always a much anticipated announcement.

If you were wondering which beauty will grace the screen as the next femme fatal in the currently untitled 23rd bond film, then you’re in luck. It would seem that Sam Mendes (American Beauty) has snagged Berenice Marlohe to act alongside Daniel Craig in the film that is currently in production.

The young French actress who has previously worked on a variety of TV movies and shows will get her first role on the big screen which could give her career quite a bump. Although Bond’s heart truly belongs to Miss Money Penny his busy fingers simply can’t keep from meddling with the bond girls, let’s just hope Marlohe messes 007 around as much as the previous ladies.
