[Blofeld's Cat]

I'm still waiting to cop it from Bryce as he actually dated Miss. Bellucci.

Am I the only one who wants to see Monica Bellucci as the good Bond girl? Just some Pussy Galore-like lesbian baddie which would be betrayed by, err, Blofeld? 

 

Oh, you're not. Would be a most welcome change of pace, from what audiences would usually expect from Hollywood.

 

Any Monica Bellucci is good as far as I am concerned.

 

Cougar-rific!!!

 

Good God man. You just re-broke the internet.

Def excited to see her as a Bond Girl. She's been on my list of gals who would be a PERFECT fit!

While I understand the sentiments, unless the forum member has taken the photo him or herself, Every studio shot on these forums will have been 'stolen' from somewhere.

The photo was watermarked by its source.  We just have to be careful to avoid unnecessary problems.

Basically, yes. The problem was less that it was an image that could be considered as 'stolen'. The problem was the watermark. CBn puts a watermark on pictures when we took them ourselves, or when we received them exclusively (or when we actually  paid for them - rarely happens). Other sites plaster theirs on everything they get their hands on, be it rightful or not.

 

In brief: any picture that has been blemished with an MI6 watermark will be removed.

My apologies - I neglected to post the source link also to "share", not steal. Won't happen again.

Interesting article and I agree with everything she says in recent interviews about roles for "older" women.

Here's to hoping we get a lovely peek at Lucia Sciarra in the trailer.

Shame, shame. We have a peeping tom among us!

 

Oh, that trailer. Sorry chap!

I think there's a chance we may.

I believe all of her scenes were shot, so I'm fairly certain we'll see her in there. Possible Lea as well.

[seawolfnyy]

My question with Monica Bellucci is that she has been virtually invisible since the release. We've seen a bit of Lea, but not Monica. Unless I missed something....

[Matt_13]

Just a few shots of her in Rome. Nothing else.

Depends how many scenes were internal, they may have been shot at Pinewood or at internal locations in Rome, so less chance of candid shots etc.

[sharpshooter]

It seems Monica could be serving the role of Solange/Fields/Severine in terms of screen time.

Also known as the wasted Bond girl.

A particular favorite of the Craig era.

[thecasinoroyale]

Wanted to bring this thread up for a while to discuss Monica Bellucci. Evidently, it's been noted in reviews that she is under-used but, man, I didn't think how MUCH she would be!

 

If this needs to be moved to the SPOILER section, so be it, but I doubt there is much to spoil.

 

Very disappointed we didn't get more of Monica through this film. Felt like a waste of talent. This role could have easily been played by Stephanie Sigman pretty much for the amount of screen-time she had. A great actress but a shame it wasn't used more.

[seawolfnyy]

Which is more of waste, in your opinion? Berenice Marlone or Monica Bellucci?

[thecasinoroyale]

......hm.

 

In respect of their films, I'd say Monica Bellucci. I'd happily take Berenice Marlohe in 'Skyfall' as she managed a few different scenes with a few different ranges of emotion and layers to her character. Still criminally short, but I did like her.

 

But I've seen Monica in more film and think she'd bring a real new take to being an older Bond "woman", and she's certainly very beautiful for her age and so her fleeting time here was just criminal in casting her to not use her better.

[jorgem]

In the real world, almost all of the Bond actors have involved with older woman!

 

Sean Connery's second wife Micheline Roquebrune was a year older (born 1929) than him. Roger Moore's first wife Doorn Van Steyn was 6 years older than him, while his second wife Dorothy Squires was 12 years older than him! Timothy Dalton dated Vanessa Redgrave who is 7 years older than him. And Pierce Brosnan's first wife Cassandra Harris was 5 years older than him.

[saint mark]

criminally underused as a Bond woman.

[x007AceOfSpades]

I would have personally had Bellucci as the main Bond Woman. Felt more of a connection between Lucia and Bond more than I did with Bond and Swann.
