I figure we've all been missing Eva Green since Casino Royale, and especially since none of us saw her follow-up film, The Golden Compass. And true to a girl whose breakout role was the crazy-sexy-weird The Dreamers, Green has now signed on to a project that straddles that line between fascinating and bizarre.

The project is Womb, a futuristic drama that will be the English-language debut of Benedek Fliegauf, a Hungarian director who's made some impact at the Berlin Film Festival in the past. Variety reports that Green will play a grieving widow who decides to clone her husband; the new Dr. Who, Matt Smith, will play the not-quite-dead guy.

It's hard to deny the appeal of Dr. Who and Vesper Lynd together, even if the movie potentially makes no sense. More likely, it'll be artsy and strange and barely get seen over here, given that it's an English-language debut and all. But Eva Green fans can keep dreaming anyway.
