Actress Rachel Weisz is reportedly in talks with director Sam Mendes to star in the new James Bond movie, opposite her rumoured new love interest Daniel Craig. Filming on the 23rd 007 film is set to commence later this year and hit cinemas on 9 November, 2012. Craig will reprise his role as the super-spy for the Mendes-directed action movie – and Weisz, who was spotted strolling hand-in-hand with the actor over Christmas, is in negotiations to star opposite her alleged new lover.
A source tells, “Rachel has been speaking with Sam for some time now about appearing in the new Bond film, long before she and Daniel hit it off.” The publication also reports Weisz is planning to leave her home in New York and move back to her native U.K. with her son, Henry, by former partner Darren Aronofsky. The Hollywood couple ended its eight-year relationship in 2010, announcing news of the split in November after several months of separation.
