Naomi Watts is the latest actress to be linked to the new James Bond film reports Ananova. Producers were reportedly impressed by her performance in King Kong and want her to star in Casino Royale.

Naomi, 37, has already had a phone call from Bond team Eon Productions inviting her to screen test for the role of Russian vixen Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale.

Sources say she will likely turn down the role which Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron have also apparently rejected. Reasons range from being typecast to the famous Bond girl curse.
