It's been a long time since I've posted, but correct me if I'm wrong, but the "MAIN" bond girl has not been chosen yet correct? In my opinion, I think it's very important that the next Bond girl be a foreign actress, not American. With all do respect to Amerian actresses, the last lead American bond girls sucked...ex- Halle Berry, Denise Richards, Maud Adams...etc. We need an international actress like Eva Green or Olga Kurlenko. And I think it's most important that the writers do NOT turn her into a JINX. Bond doesn't need an equal or partner. This girl will have to be particularly special consider this bond movie will mark 50 years of Bond. You don't want too big of an A-lister or oscar winner.

Well here's a few lovely ladies I had in mind and I'd really like to hear your too:

-Violante Placido (The extremely hot Italian actress/singer that was in The American; and if you think about it, she already has practice being in a spy movie.)

-Frieda Pinto (I haven't seen any of work honestly. Best known for Slum Dog and now Rise of the Planet of the Apes.)

-Rachel Weiz (well she did just marry Mr. Craig himself. but that could be too much drama on the set.)

-Marion Cotillard (if you haven't seen Inception or Public Enemies...go see them. This girl can really act and be very dramatic (in a good way)).

That's all I have right now. Like I said, please share your opinions. If you don't like mine, no harm done. That's the point of the forum. Peace.

Natalie Portman, Nanako Matsushima, Yvonne Strahovski, Lesley-Aann Brandt, Keira Knightley, Mélanie Laurent... I don't have any specific choice. But not Freida Pinto. Too obvious and not enough... mysterious. If Bond23 takes place in India, I would prefer by far Riya Sen.

All very solid choices, especially Placido and Pinto. I thought that The American was quite good and Placido really did quite well in that film, so I'd love to see her in a Bond film in the near future. I'm not as familiar with Pinto, but based on the little bit I've seen of her, I think she would have the potential to be quite good as well.

I definitely agree with your suggestions of Yvonne Strahovski, Melanie Laurent, and Natalie Portman.


My choices would be (including some already mentioned):

-Yvonne Strahovski (EON would really be missing out if they didn't cast her in one of the next couple of Bond films. CHUCK wraps filming in November, I think, so she could possibly be available for BOND 23).

-Paula Patton (although probably not too likely given she's starring opposite Tom Cruise in M:I4

-Stana Katic (either reprising her blink-and-you'll-miss-it role from Quantum of Solace or as a new character)

-Emily Blunt

-Hayley Atwell

-Teresa Palmer

-Gina Carano (this would be contingent on Steven Soderbergh's Haywire, in which she stars, being any good. If she can make the transition from competitive fighting to acting, then I think she could be play a truly formidable opponent for Bond in the vein of a May Day type character who can actually match Bond, or even surpass him, in a physical confrontation)

I'm still rooting for Naomie Harris.

[Captain Tightpants]

I can't really pick a particular actor, because I think a lot of it depends on the requirements of the character. For example, I would not cast Katherine Heigl (I was forced to sit through 27 DRESSES recently) in a role like Camille Montes; she's probably much closer to a Stacy Sutton-like character - someone who has the knowledge to help Bond, but is useless in a fight.

That said, someone I would like to see appear in a Bond film is Summer Glau:


And while she's not an actor - she's a lingerie model - I think Jessica Michibata would be a good choice, assuming she can act:

[Sigma7]

Olivia Wilde but she has just appeared in cowboys and aliens ;( Monica Bellucci has always been on the top of list for Bond girl, she never seems to get it , she is a stunner

[occhile007]

Unforunately, I think Monica Belluci is getting older. Still very, very hot, but I think she is older than Craig.

As for Olivia Wilde, I think she's pretty good, but the track record for an American Bond girl has never been that good. For example, Denise Richards and Halle Berry (who somehow won an Oscar).

I do think that Naiome Harris as Moneypenny would be a good choice. But, I still say that the main Bond girl(s) should be international girls. I'm still all about Violante Placido and Marion Cotillard.

[occhile007]

Here's one more suggestion...Elisabetta Canalis...aka - George Clooney's smoking ex-girlfriend. She's Italian and just the right age. I could see it...

[Miles Miservy]

Polly Walker;

She was Sean Bean's sister in arms in PATRIOT GAMES.

[domnule alb]

Depends on the character written naturally, but I would to see a Bond girl similar to Goldeneye's Natalya (falls into the action by accident, Bond saves the day); I can see an archaelogist/health-aid doctor-type played by Diane Kruger or Sila Sahin.

[supernova]

Whoever she is, let her be gorgeous. No more girls like Olga Kuryenko, with her cheap clothes, spray tan, exposed burn scars on her back (for the storyline) and gritty attitude. Her type is more suited to Jason Bourne.

Just re-watched Casino Royale and was amazed at the gorgeousness of the three main ladies, plus all the beautiful extras (female and male) in the casino scene. In comparison the beautiful people scenery in Q of S was pathetic.

James Bond movies have always been great at using mostly unknown or rarely seen faces like the then unknown Ursula Andress etc. Yes, agree Natalya in Golden Eye definitely one of my favourite Bond Girls. Monica Belluci is stunning and looks 10-15 years younger than her age -- so no problem. Would have loved Rachel Weisz as one of the main ladies, but not much chance of that now she has signed up with the next Jason Bourne movie.

Definitely don't want to see an Indian (who lives in India) cast in the love scenes -- the furor will go on forever -- does anyway remember the Miss World that was held in India and the feminist attacks and promises of self-immolation on the runway?

How about letting her be an actual character first? I'd much rather a plain Bond Girl who fits into the story rather than someone who is simply in there because she's good-looking. Both are ideal, but if for whatever reason that's not possible, I'd take characterisation first.

Totally agree on your statement about the girls chosen for Casino Royale. Perhaps if parts of the plot from Carte Blanche are used in the film (charity event, London restaurants, etc), the attention to the glamorous can be heightened. Its a shame Olga wasn't given the chance to act in that sort of role: she would have been twice the Bond girl...

Dichen Lachman:



Okay, I'll admit that she's not immediately pretty. But she does grow on you. She's half-Australian, half-Tibetian. I know some people from the Himalayas and they've got that same bone structure, and after a while, it's really quite hypnotic.

[PotterBond007]

BILLIE PIPER! She and Karen Gillan are the HOTTEST Doctor companions, and I would love to see either one in a Bond movie. I thought that Billie was fantastic as Rose, and I think she's also certainly got the looks for a Bond girl. And even though Karen Gillan is still working on "Who" I'm still throwing her name into the mix as a possible future Bond girl.

LOL, Sorry. I just recently became a fan. And it's fantastic! My latest interest.

Diora Baird. Shes real hot, great classic bond girl looks and she has a bond girl body. For some reason the pics I had to post are too big for the forum. Google image search her, it'll make your day

Louise Bourgoin - French and absolutely stunning!

She's got attitude, and would make a fantastic MoneyPenny

[PotterBond007]

In addition to the lovely Doctor companions, I'm throwing in 3 more names to the pot:

Lucy Griffiths, Emily Browning, and Abbie Cornish. I haven't seen the latter two in action, but I remember Lucy from the BBC's Robin Hood show which was good. And they look good, too, even though looks aren't everything.

How, exactly, would a French national get herself employed by the British secret services?

Well, Green was French and she played the very British role of Vesper I think slider was trying to convey that French women are sexy, which some of them are Of course she´d be more suitable as a French operative that meets Bond in Le Café de la Paix, saying "crashdive" or something like that - haven´t read the novel in quite a while.

Some Americans, perhaps:

Rachel Nichols from GI Joe. A 10 and a ginge. Or Leelee Sobieski, more like a 15. LOL. Or possibly Scarlett Johansson.

[Captain Tightpants]

You want to cast them based on their performances on one of the stupidest films ever made?

[PotterBond007]

Actually, I loved GI Joe. And Iron Man 2 with ScarJo. Plus they all look good, though looks aren't everything, yes I know.

[Captain Tightpants]

I think GI JOE was ridiculously bad. It made Michael bay look like Alfred Hitchcock.
