St Trinian's star 'to be next Bond girl'

One of the stars of the forthcoming St Trinian's film is set to feature in the next James Bond film, it was reported yesterday.

Gemma Arterton, who plays Kelly in the cheeky school-themed remake, will appear opposite Daniel Craig in the 22nd Bond movie, according to Empire Online.

Although no information was given on the role she might play in the film, the website reported that "what we're hearing suggests that she'll be in a fairly major role".

Arterton is a relative beginner in the movie industry, having debuted in Stephen Poliakoff's television drama Capturing Mary and then moving on to St Trinian's.

She is also set to appear in Guy Ritchie's next effort - RocknRolla - alongside Entourage actor Jeremy Piven, Thandie Newton and Gerard Butler.

RocknRolla is set for release sometime next year, while St Trinian's is due to hit the big screen this Friday.
