According to ITV, the star has already been contacted by the producers of Casino Royale to play the role of Russian Vesper Lynd. Watts is expected to make a screen test next week.
The producers for the 21st James Bond film have been having difficulty finding an actress to play opposite Daniel Craig, who will be making his debut as Agent 007. Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Charlize Theron and Sienna Miller have all turned down the role already.
Filming for Casino Royale is scheduled to begin in January. The movie will be directed by Martin Campbell (The Mask of Zorro, GoldenEye, The Legend of Zorro), and will open in theatres on November 17, 2006.
