Kate Winslet is reportedly angry that Sam Mendes is in touch with his ex-girlfriend Rachel Weisz. Winslet and Mendes announced their split earlier this year. However, the Daily Mail claims that Mendes, who is thought to be lined up to direct the next James Bond movie, has contacted Weisz to ask if she wants a role in the film. “As soon as Kate and Sam split, he was on the phone asking Rachel if she was interested in doing the movie,” a source said. “Rachel has always been persona non grata in the Winslet-Mendes household and Kate went ballistic when she heard that Sam wanted to hire her. “Sam has wanted to work with Rachel for ages, but Kate would not allow it. Although they ran in the same Hollywood circles, they avoided each other.” Weisz recently admitted that she would love a role in the new James Bond film.
