CULVER CITY, Calif. — The new James Bond now has his Bond Girl.

She’s French actress Eva Green. She’ll star in the new “Casino Royale” as the character of Vesper.

Green’s film debut was a couple of years ago in the ultra-steamy movie “The Dreamers.” The director of that NC-17 film had once said Eva Green is “so beautiful it’s indecent.”

Now, Green will use that beauty opposite the new James Bond, Daniel Craig.

In other casting news, Jeffrey Wright, who’s currently in “Syriana,” will play Felix Leiter in the new Bond film.

It was already announced that Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen will be the villain in “Casino Royale,” which is expected in theaters on November 17th.
