According to Sun
Naomi Watts is being offered a role in upcoming Bond movie Casino Royale. Producers were bowled over by her performance in King Kong.
Now they are desperate to land the British-born Aussie as leading lady for new Bond Daniel Craig.
Naomi, 37, has already had a phone call from Bond team Eon Productions inviting her to be Russian vixen Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale. They want her to do a screen test in the New Year.
But pals fear Naomi will turn down the role because of the “Curse of the Bond Girl” suffered by
Halle Berry — who has had no major hits since starring in Die Another Day in 2002.
A source said: “People are worried about being typecast.”
Angelina Jolie and
Charlize Theron have already rejected the role. Angelina claimed she would just be eye candy while Charlize wanted more serious parts.
