Naomie Harris to Play Miss Moneypenny In Bond 23?
James Bond fans will be thrilled to learn that director Sam Mendes is re-introducing Miss Moneypenny to the franchise after a ten-year absence, with Naomie Harris vying for the part.
The Daily Mail reports that Harris, who rose to fame in 28 Days Later and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, is in the final stages of signing for the role.
She will be the fourth actress to play the quick-witted secretary, made famous by Lois Maxwell in fourteen films from 1962 to 1985. Caroline Bliss stepped in to star alongside Timothy Dalton in the late 1980s, before Samantha Bond took over for the Pierce Brosnan era from 1995 to 2002.
Craig has already signed up to make his third appearance as the popular agent, while Judi Dench will make her seventh appearance as boss M.
Producers have also finally confirmed the signings of Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes as the film's villains after months of speculation.
Mendes, best known for directing American Beauty and Road To Perdition, is expected to start shooting the 23rd Bond film later this year, in time for an October 2012 release.
