Bond Girl Rumour #9 and #10 - Brazilian starlets tipped for Bond 22

According to casting notices sent out last month, producers of the 22nd James Bond film are searching for "a Latina actress in her late twenties, preferably with South American roots" for the lead Bond Girl role in Daniel Craig's second outing as 007.

News now reaches MI6 from Brazil, where press are reporting that local starlets Juliana Paes and Fernanda Lima are being linked to the role.

Reports indicate that "all scenes are to be completed in the USA", but as location shooting is not likely to be taking place there, it is understood that this refers to the screentests being performed under the watchful eye of director Marc Forster.

If either is cast, it would be the first time that a Brazilian actress has had a major role in a Bond film. Back in 1979, Adele F�tima as cast in "Moonraker" but her character was later recast to Emily Bolton. Adele did shoot some minor scenes around Sugar Loaf Mountain with Roger Moore, but they were cut from the final film.

Thanks to `Marketto` for the alert.
