- SKYFALL
Naomie Harris says she will not be playing Miss Moneypenny
in the new Bond film Skyfall.
MI-6 points out this interview with Harris and her fellow
Bond girl Berenice Marlohe wherein she shot down the notion that her field
agent character Eve somehow later becomes Miss Moneypenny, M's chief assistant.

"The idea of me being Moneypenny was a good, racy
rumour," Harris told Live. "But Eve is not remotely office-bound. She
gets to see plenty of action. That meant a lot of gun training." Harris
told the magazine the idea of her as Moneypenny never even entered the
discussion.
"What drew me to this was the opportunity to play a new
kind of Bond Girl," said Harris. "I wouldn't go as far as to say that
we're going for a feminist take on the Bond Girl, because that has so many
connotations to different people. But I would say that we are Bond Girls who
are multi-faceted, intelligent and capable."
Meanwhile, Marlohe described her character Severine as
"glamorous and enigmatic." She added, "I get to see less action
on screen than Naomie but I wanted to get the feel of guns in order to find my
way into my character. I love guns – I have fake ones at home – so I grabbed
the opportunity to hold a real one on the set. I got to handle a Beretta 70.
It's a nice gun. ... I definitely see myself more as a Bond Lady than a Bond
Girl."
So there you have it, Bond will not get MoneyPenny in this
film.
