Take a look at her in this ITN report, especially in the end interview without the slap and dodgy hair.



Looks good to me. She seems a bit too young and attractive for Moneypenny. The girl on the left is Talulah Riley. They can sign her up too while they're at it.

My guess is she'll be playing a minor character in the Panama scenes, and that all her footage will be shot at Pinewood Studios.

But would an actress so high profile right now be in such a minor role?

I am inclined to think she will have a role along the lines of Solange and Paris.

Well, I did say it was a guess. But, I don't really think Gemma Arterton has that much of a high profile at the moment. Even with the publicity from the St. Trinian's film.

Not that it makes all that much difference, anyway. Christina Cole already had several high-profile leading roles on British television under her belt before Casino Royale started filming, and she ended up in one scene, with about three lines of dialogue!

So, it could be a big role, or a small one. I suppose we'll find out soon enough.

High Profile?

I'm glad she's cast. For me, the idea of her being Vesper's sister actually holds a lot of appeal. It could be interesting to see Bond's relationship with her, because I'd find it fascinating if it remained entirely platonic... Bond's aloof, cold, but still protective of Vesper's sister. Could be an intriguing route.

However, it's far more likely she's in a Solange-esque role.

The new St. Trinian's film.

Growing up in the UK it was hard not to notice that the originals were a bit of a British institution and apparently it is being touted as one of the big Christmas hits over there in Blighty.

Well, it looks like a product of the worst excesses of the coke-fuelled British film cottage industry. Can anyone explain why it received National Lottery funding? (To the tune of
