The man behind Halle Berry’s topless scene in “Monster’s Ball” will direct the next James Bond picture. Director Marc Forster has been selected to shoot the 22^nd 007 movie which is scheduled for release on November 7, 2008. Daniel Craig will play the British secret agent for the second time in the movie which still doesn’t have a title. The screenplay was written by “Crash” director and “Million Dollar Baby” screenwriter Paul Haggis.

One rumor that has surfaced about the new Bond movie is that “Black Book” actress Carice Van Houten may be cast as the new Bond lady. If that rumor does indeed come to pass then the blonde starlet will only be able to play in the new 007 film after she finishes making “Valkyrie” this year. Van Houten has just been cast to play the love interest of Tom Cruise’s character in that film.
