play a Bond girl in the the next 007 movie.*
Now, according to a report by the Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye, we hear
she's set to play M's secretary (and James Bond's flirt-object)
Moneypenny.
The iconic character has been played by five actresses since _Dr No_
in 1962, if you include appearances in unofficial Bond movies _Casino
Royale_ (1967) and _Never Say Never Again_.
Lois Maxwell played the character across 14 movies, before Caroline
Bliss took over for the Timothy Dalton films. Samantha Bond was the
Brosnan-era Moneypenny
The character hasn't appeared in the Bond movies during Craig's
tenure, but that looks set to change.
Harris would be a smart choice for Moneypenny, with the kind of
understated good looks and quiet intelligence that should provide more
than a match for the swaggering secret agent.
Bamigboye also confirms that Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes, who have
both been rumoured to be attached, are locked in.
Surely it can't be too long before we get some official casting
announcements (and a proper title) for this one.
If these reports are accurate, then this Sam Mendes-directed
instalment is shaping up to be one of the classiest blockbusters in
production, and should easily make audiences forget the messy _Quantum
Of Solace_.
_Bond 23_ will open on 26 October 2012.
