Naomie Harris: New Bond Girl In 'Bond 23'?

Naomie Harris

First Posted: 06/ 7/11 07:01 AM ET Updated: 06/ 7/11 07:23 AM ET

The name's Harris. Naomie Harris.

With the next James Bond film, for now titled "Bond 23," getting its pre-production wheels in motion, word is breaking that Harris, the actress best known for her roles in the second two "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, is leading the field of hopefuls vying for the much coveted Bond Girl role.

Entertainment Weekly late Monday confirmed an earlier report from the British tabloid News of the World that Harris is in contention for the part, receiving word from an Eon Productions spokesperson that she has met with producers about taking on the role. 
If Harris does nail down the part, she'll take over as the lady co-lead for reigning James Bond Daniel Craig, who was joined by Olga Kurylenko in 2008's "Quantum of Solace" and "Eva Green" in his first Bond film, 2006's hit "Casino Royale."

Already, rumor has it that Javier Bardem has been offered the part of one of the villains in the film.

Meanwhile, Craig's next immediate onscreen lady will be Olivia Wilde in next month's "Cowboys and Aliens." And after that, he'll appear on screen with girlfriend Rachel Weisz in "Dream House."

Big fan of Quantum. Casino Royale was also solid. I like Harris and think she'd be great. Her character is pretty dumb in the Pirates movies but she's superb in Miami Vice and 28 Days Later.

I hope she gets the part and Bardem and Fiennes sign on as well.

I've seen Naomie Harris in British and other films and my British friends and acquaintan­ces think I look like her (I can't see it, but they think so)---perh­aps the nose and jawline, but that's all. More importantl­y, Ms. Harris is a fine actress.

Way too thin. Bond girls should be either athletic-s­exy or glamour-se­xy.

I like Naomie's style, she's quite an actor. If true this would be a good role for her.

Calypso was my FAVORITE PotC character. This actress is a VIXEN, through and through.

Her, and Daniel Craig.....­oh, man. It wouldn't just be good casting. It would be REASON.

Oprah should check this girl out, cause she definitely looks like her baby sister.
Same eyes, nose - wow!!!!

Just like O when she got down to 150 & brought the red wagon of lard on the stage.
Gail, call O & tell her to check out girlie.

Unless you've seen her in a number of films, the only thing you know about her looks is what's pictured above and that doesn't do her justice.
