I think we can almost certainly cast these as fake in the category of rumor mongering for the sake of jumping on the back of another movie’s success to sell newspaper copies. The Sun report that Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto has been invited to screen test for James Bond 23 – producers were supposedly impressed by her during casting for Quantum of Solace, but at that time she was too young to play a ’secret agent’s lover’.

The Sun are continuing with their already debunked Danny Boyle to direct rumor. Maybe Dev Patel will be the next Bond?
