Rose is the new bond girl.

Rose Byrne will be announced this week as the next Bond girl, "winning" the role of Vesper Lynd opposite first time Bond Daniel Craig in the upcoming remake of 'Casino Royale'. Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron were just a few of the name actors to turn the role down. Bryne, 26, made her mark co-starring in 'Troy' and 'Star Wars: Episode II'...

I don't know who she is but like the article says, the franchise seems to be in it's death throes now. James Bond was cool before because of the ultra slick gadgets but in these days of camera phones, iPods, and multi purpose pogo sticks, the franchise has lost it's allure.

Maybe they should have taken up Quentin Tarantino's offer...
