James Bond fans will be thrilled to learn that director Sam Mendes is re-introducing Miss Moneypenny to the franchise after a ten-year absence, with Naomie Harris vying for the part.
The Daily Mail reports that Harris, who rose to fame in 28 Days Later and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, is in the final stages of signing for the role.
She will be the fourth actress to play the quick-witted secretary, made famous by Lois Maxwell in fourteen films from 1962 to 1985. Caroline Bliss stepped in to star alongside Timothy Dalton in the late 1980s, before Samantha Bond took over for the Pierce Brosnan era from 1995 to 2002.
Craig has already signed up to make his third appearance as the popular agent, while Judi Dench will make her seventh appearance as boss M.
Producers have also finally confirmed the signings of Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes as the film's villains after months of speculation. »

Star of 28 Days Later is reportedly in final talks with Sam Mendes to play M's flirtatious secretary in next Bond film
Bond producers have met with Naomie Harris with a view to engaging her services as the new Miss Moneypenny in Sam Mendes's forthcoming James Bond film, reports the Daily Mail.
Harris, best known for her turns in 28 Days Later and the Pirates of the Caribbean films, has not yet been confirmed in the role. Moneypenny is the flirtatious secretary to Bond's secret services boss M in Ian Fleming's stories. She has not yet appeared in the latest Daniel Craig-led iteration of the long-running spy saga, and her entry might signal the start of a return to the series' roots.
Craig himself has said that the leaner, darker Bond introduced by Martin Campbell with 2006's Casino Royale might slowly morph into a more familiar figure over the next few films. »

She's fought zombies in "28 Days Later" and pirates in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," but Naomie Harris' latest role pits her against her greatest opponent yet: seduction.
The 34-year-old actress has been cast as M's assistant, Moneypenny, the object of Bond's flirtatious advances, in Sam Mendes' upcoming "Bond 23" (via IndieWire).
The iconic character, which has appeared in 20 previous Bond films and two TV specials, has been played in the past by actresses Lois Maxwell, Caroline Bliss, Samantha Bond, Barbara Bouchet, and Pamela Salem.
While Moneypenny has not appeared in "Casino Royale," or "Quantum of Solace," the two most recent Bond films starring Daniel Craig as 007, she won't be the only new addition to the cast; Ralph Fiennes has reportedly signed on as a "darkly complex" character, while Javier Bardem tackles the role of the film's villain.

We already know that Daniel Craig will re-team with his Road to Perdition director Sam Mendes for the next entry into the James Bond series, unofficially going under Bond 23. After both rumors of Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes joining the cast, Baz Bamigboye of Daily Mail reports that they are locked into the cast.
Bardem’s role is rumored to be the villain, while Fiennes part is said to be “one of extreme complexity and only an actor of great ability and dexterity can take it on.” It has also been said the “revolutionary” project will feature an ensemble cast in “the first of a new generation of Bond films, and the ideas Mendes has push the film into darker territory where the characters are modern, mature and challenging.”
The outlet also confirms Naomie Harris‘ (28 Days Later, Miami Vice, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest) involvement, but »

Baz Bamigboye's new column indicates that Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes and Naomie Harris are all pretty much set to star in the next James Bond film as previously rumored.
The big news is that "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Miami Vice" actress Harris will Not be playing a Bond girl, rather she's in the final stages of talks to take on the role of one of the series most iconic characters - Miss Moneypenny.
M's flirtatious secretary has been around since the very first Bond film "Dr. No" in 1962 and was memorably played by Lois Maxwell through until 1985's "A View to a Kill". Caroline Bliss delivered a very dull interpretation of her for Timothy Dalton's two outings, Pamela Salem played her in the unofficial "Never Say Never Again", while Samantha Bond had some good fun playing her in Pierce Brosnan's four outings.
