According to PEOPLE, hunky British actor, Daniel Craig will be reprising his role as the seminal spy, James Bond.

This will mark the third time that Craig has played the womanizing, cold blooded Bond. The 23rd film in the enormous franchise is set to be released in November of 2012, quite a ways away.

Lately reports have surfaced that previous Bond girl, Rachel Weisz left her former husband, Darren Aronofsky, for a little DCraig action. However, she will not be playing a bond babe again. So who could be the next Bond girl? Could it be Miley Cyrus? She is starring in her own spy film soon. It’s a pressing question for us to ponder for the next year and a half.

Darren Aronofsky and Rachel Weisz Call it Quits

Acclaimed director Darren Aronofsky and his partner of nine years actress, Rachel Weisz have called it quits. As reported by TMZ.com, the exes seek joint custody of their 4-year-old son, Henry Chance.

Why the split? Reports have been surfacing that Weisz is linked romantically to hot James Bond star, Daniel Craig. Weisz is denying the reports saying that she has been friends with Craig for a long time. Friends is a pretty vague term these days. She probably means friends with benefits. Who wouldn’t want to be involved with Craig?

Aronofsky does seem to be getting crazier and crazier, at least with his films. He is currently one of the most talented directors but he does have a tendency to choose very dark roles. His new film, Black Swan, which everyone is swooning over, will be released next month. Maybe Aronofsky has flown off the handle at home? Too obsessed with work? He has signed on to do multiple projects including Wolverine 2. Perhaps he just has too much on his plate.

“Twilight’s” Robert Pattinson has been cast in a new movie, an adaptation of Guy de Maupassant’s short story “Bel Ami,” as reported by Variety.

The actor revealed the news while in Cannes to promote his next flick “Remember Me.” He also told Variety, to the excitement of female fans, that the female lead hasn’t been cast yet for “Remember Me.” “The girl needs to be literally inspirational,” he says. “I have no qualms saying that she’s a genius.”

“Bel Ami” is scheduled to shoot next year in Paris and will be directed by British theatre director Declan Donnellan. Pattinson also managed to draw some similarities between his character in “Remember Me” and the vampire that made him a star. “They’re both about commitment,” he told Variety, adding that fans will get to see more of Edward through Bella’s “hallucinations” in “New Moon.”

Pattinson is also set to star alongside Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz in the period drama “Unbound Captives,” which tells the story of an American woman (Rachel Weisz) and her murdered husband killed by a Comanche war party. Pattinson will play her son.
