Angelina Jolie wants Bond

Daniel Craig stars as "007" James Bond, the smoothest, sexiest, most lethal agent on Her Majesty\'s Secret Service in "Casino Royale." Based on the first Bond book written by Ian Fleming, the story, which has never been told on film until now, recounts the making of the world\'s greatest secret agent.

British tabloid "The Sun" is reporting that Angelina has read Paul Haggis' script and wants the character "toughed up" before she'll take the part. Perhaps she's looking for something along the lines of Famke Janssen's role as a sexy villain in 'Die Another Day' rather than a throwaway, eye-candy part like that given to Denise Richards in 'The World is Not Enough'.

Screenwriter Paul Haggis says he's still working on the script, so it's probably not outside the realm of possibility that they'd write a female villain in for her, but the James Bond franchise is big enough that there's no real need for them to bow to big star demands. They don't need her name to make the movie a success, what they need, after a string of James Bond stinkers, is a good script.
