Naomie Harris thinks the next James Bond film will be “very special”. The British actress is a contender for a leading role in the forthcoming Sam Mendes, directed movie, which sees Daniel Craig reprise his role as the iconic British spy and although her part is not confirmed, she believes having met the filmmaker it will be a particularly good film in the franchise.
She said, “It would be great to be part of Bond but nothing is confirmed yet. Sam Mendes is an amazing director. He’s got brilliant ideas. From meeting them, I think it’s going to be a very special Bond.”
The 34-year-old star has watched the spy movies, but does not have a favourite film, instead preferring the acting talents of eccentric singer Grace Jones, who previously appeared as May Day in A View to a Kill.
She told Empire magazine, “Grace Jones did a Bond that I thought was really cool. She wasn’t a Bond girl, though. She was more of a villain!”
