Eva Green is the new Bond girl

It would seem the protracted search to find the Bond girl for Casino Royale is finally over.

It would seem the protracted search to find the Bond girl for Casino Royale is finally over.

Steve Gorman of Reuters reports that Eva Green will play Vesper Lynd opposite Daniel Craig in his first outing as 007. Green’s breakthrough performance was in Bertolucci’s The Dreamers in 2003 and she was also in Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven last year. With Paul Haggis writing the script, Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter, Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen as villain Le Chiffre and now Green cast, I’m intrigued as to how this one is going to turn out.
