Gemma pens short story about her bond character
The British actress starred in "Quantum of Solace" opposite Daniel Craig in 2008 and believes the high-profile role gave her a big career boost while helping her secure the finances necessary to shoot her latest film "The Escape" reports aceshowbiz.com.
"I ve written this short story which I could get in so much trouble for. It s called Woke Bond Woman and it s about what my Bond girl should have done but it s really funny " Arterton told publication Cover Media.
Areterton thinks it is high time a woman took on the James Bond role but she does not want a female 007 to become just like 007: "I ve always thought there should be a Bond woman... (but) I would not want to see her take advantage of a young man " the actress added.
But Arterton has other roles planned for herself including a film project with Felicity Jones thanks to the stars commitment to the Time s Up anti-harassment and equality movement.
She said: "We are part of this Time s Up movement where all of these actresses and writers and directors and filmmakers that are female get together and meet and just talk."
"No way would I work with Felicity Jones in a movie because there s usually (only) one part for a woman of one age. And so I meet her and say Let s make a film together and she s like Yeah . This great collective voice is really encouraging and I just hope we will make more honest films about what it is to be a woman rather than what people would like to see " the actress added.
