Bond 22 Girl Found And First pre-production Pic!
The folk over Empire Online alerted us that St Trinian’s actress Gemma Arterton will be the next Bond girl for “Bond 22″
The site is not absolutely certain whether Arterton will be the main Bond girl, like Eva Green in Casino Royale, or one of the peripheral lovelies like Caterina Murino and that other one.
Also MI6 has posted the first images from UK pre-production of the 22nd James Bond film.

Is This the New Bond Title?
007 was never very good at keeping secrets seeing as how he’d almost always, no matter what his mission or cover was, announce himself as “Bond, James Bond.” So it’s fitting that the latest actor to play the iconic secret agent may have unwittingly revealed what the title of Bond 22 will be during a TV interview.
Ain’t It Cool News points out that Craig appeared on the U.K. television program This Morning where he was, naturally, asked about Bond 22, which begins filming next month. A scooper for the site who saw the show claims that, when asked about the sequel’s title, Craig revealed that since Casino Royale dealt with Bond attaining his 00 status the new film would chronicle his first actual mission as 007. Craig then strongly hinted that the title for the film could quite simply be 007.
AICN emphasized that this is just a rumor, but such a title would definitely be in keeping with the franchise’s new reboot approach.
In other big Bond news, several British newspapers — The Sun, The Guardian and The Daily Mail — report that British actress Gemma Arterton, 22, has been cast in the film’s coveted Bond Girl role. The papers attribute the news to MarieClaire.com, the official site of the popular women’s magazine, but a search of the site turned up no such report.
An alleged insider at EON Prods., the producers of the Bond series, advised the Daily Mail, “Gemma has the modern look and fits perfectly with the new vulnerable image of Bond.” Arterton reportedly sent her mother a text message saying, “I got Bond!”
