British newcomer Gemma Arterton has joined the ranks of Famke Janssen, Honor Blackman, and Ursula Andress as the new Bond girl in the next installment of the James Bond franchise. Arterton will play Fields in the Marc Forster-directed movie, which is still known only as ”Bond 22” and is currently filming in London for Columbia and MGM for a Nov. 7 release. Daniel Craig will reprise his role as Agent 007. Arterton, 21, is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. Her past movies include a remake of the comedy St. Trinian’s, recently released in the U.K., and Guy Ritchie’s RocknRolla, which is scheduled for release in October. She joins a cast that includes Judi Dench, Giancarlo Giannini, Mathieu Amalric, Jeffrey Wright, and Jesper Christensen. Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the new movie is said to pick up where Casino Royale left off.
