British actress Gemma Arteton `confirmed` for role in Bond 22

First rumoured earlier this week, British actress Gemma Arterton has been "confirmed" by Empire Online has securing a role in Bond 22.

According to the site, "Empire has learned from a source who's in a position to be absolutely sure that this casting is 100% true."

Unlike the misleading headline however, she is unlikely to have landed the major Bond Girl role due to the extensive casting searches for a Latina actress from South America. Bond 22 will also be partly shot in Panama.

A few days ago, The Sun The claimed that the 22 year-old RADA actress - who will next be seen on the big screen in "St Trinian's" alongside Caterina Murino of "Casino Royale" fame - saw off 1,500 girls to land the part. Gemma reportedly sent her mum Sally a text saying: �I got Bond!�
