There is a possibility that Whitney Houston may star in the next James Bond film. MGM Studios has confirmed that producers plan to meet with the pop diva. The movie will mark the 20th installment of the 007 series. And Spy Will Always Love You By VICTORIA NEWTON, The Sun Showbiz Editor POP diva Whitney Houston is being lined up to star as a Bond girl alongside Pierce Brosnan in the next 007 film. Whitney, 37, has already agreed to the project in principle, and is now waiting to enter final negotiations with movie bosses. Multi-millionaire beauty Whitney - whose No1 hits include I Will Always Love You - is due to meet the widow of famous Bond producer Albert "Cubby" Broccoli this week. Dana Broccoli is chairman of her late husband's company, Danjak, and has the last word on everything to do with the James Bond movie franchise. It was her who decided heart-throb Sean Connery was sexy enough to play Bond. Dana was also instrumental in signing up actor Timothy Dalton to appear as the British secret agent. Now she is said to be "extremely keen" to get Whitney involved in the new Bond movie, being filmed later this year. A source said: "The movie bosses think Whitney would make a fantastic Bond girl and are desperately working out a deal which will be acceptable. "She has all the glamour, talent and star power to make a huge impact. "Whitney would also be a perfect choice to sing the big song from the soundtrack because of her amazing voice. "Preliminary talks have taken place and both sides expect a deal to be struck soon." If talks are successful, Whitney will join a long line of famous Bond girls including Ursula Andress, Honor Blackman, Joanna Lumley, Denise Richards, Sophie Marceau, Barbara Bach and Grace Jones. The Bond movie will not be the first time Whitney has appeared on the big screen. She made her major film breakthrough in The Bodyguard, starring alongside Hollywood heart-throb Kevin Costner and singing on the hugely successful soundtrack - which included the smash I Will Always Love You. The film was a massive box office hit, and there is now talk of a Bodyguard 2 movie. Whitney, who is married to singer Bobby Brown, is currently in Los Angeles filming a pop video with The Backstreet Boys. Whitney Houston Reportedly Lined Up for Bond Film LONDON (Reuters) - Pop diva Whitney Houston is being lined up to star in the next James Bond film, Britain's top-selling Sun tabloid reported Wednesday. Houston has agreed in principle to appear alongside Pierce Brosnan, the latest incarnation of British secret agent 007, and is waiting for confirmation from movie bosses, the paper said. The singer, who appeared in the box office hit "The Bodyguard'' with Kevin Costner, is set to follow in the footsteps of actresses such as Ursula Andress, Grace Jones and Denise Richards as a "Bond girl.'' "The movie bosses think Whitney would make a fantastic Bond girl and are desperately working out a deal which will be acceptable,'' the Sun quoted an unidentified source as saying. The final decision will rest with Dana Broccoli, widow of famous Bond film producer Albert Broccoli, who has the last word on everything to do with the 007 franchise, the tabloid said. It said the movie would be filmed later this year, but did not give its title. Site design by: Dolphin Webpage Designs © 1996-2001
