It’s Official: Freida Pinto is the Next Bond Girl

Slumdog Millionaire’s Freida Pinto should be throwing a big party as we speak.  She has landed the role opposite Daniel Craig in the next Bond film.  The film is set in Afghanistan, and it will be directed by ‘American Beauty’s’ Sam Mendes.  Mendes hopes to reinvent the genre, considering that 2008’s ‘Quantum of Solace’ largely underwhelmed at the domestic box office.  Pinto will make motion picture history as the first Indian Bond girl.
