Take this one with the ever ready grain of salt until we have confirmation, but according to Yahoo! Movies UK, Oscar winning Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz looks set to sign on for the still untitled Bond 24. If this is true, Cruz (who turns 40 next April) would be the oldest Bond girl yet, taking the title from British actress Honor Blackman, who was 39 when she appeared in 1962’s Goldfinger as Pussy Galore. Here's an excerpt from Yahoo's report:
"A source close to the production of the £100 million film, likely to be directed by Sam Mendes after his success with 'Skyfall', said: ‘"The producers have tried to get Penelope before, but she has never been available because of other commitments. The discussions have been going on for some time and they are working out the contract details now."
Like I said, nothing official yet, but if this were to happen do you guys think Cruz would make a good Bond girl? Sound off below.
