Seems quite similar to the 'who would you cast' thread to me! :)

I can understand why you'd think that. It's a lot different though, if you think about it. Who you would cast in Carte Blanche is completely different to who you actually see whilst reading. For example, when I see Severan Hydt's girlfriend, her name escapes me, I see Jamie Lee Curtis. BUT if I were to cast the part, she wouldn't be my first choice.

I have to admit I saw Kim Cattrall as Hydt's girlfriend, and Michael Fassbender was definitely Bond. Someone a bit more like Paula Patton meets Naomie Harris meets Sophie Okonedo as Bheka Jordaan though.

When I first read it when it came out, totally saw Karen Gillan as Ophelia Maidenstone!
She is oh so beautiful!!!!
;)

Also saw
Charlize Theron as Felicity
Hugh Laurie as Hydt
and Matt Smith as Obsbourne Smith

Bond and Felix were the same as now.
Craig & Wright respectively.

Well I'm glad some people thought to same as me
haha
:P
