According to ContactMusic.com Uta Thurman "is fighting to land the part of the next BOND girl, despite growing up thinking the characters in the 007 movies were anti-women."

The "Kill Bill" actress has never been approached to play a Bond babe, but she'd love to team up with PIERCE BROSNAN, or whoever his successor is.

She says, "When I was growing up they always said Bond girls were anti-feminist and that was not a good thing to be.

"But I thought that Bond girls were the toughest, sexiest, most fun, and, to me, they were like completely awesome. I thought, 'Bond girls are bad.'"

i wouldnt mind her being like a henchmen but not a bond girl shes kinda old isnt she??

[CommanderBond]

nevermind my statement on her being old shes only 33

[ChandlerBing]

Another kick *** Bond girl...wow, that's an original thought.

[CommanderBond]

but i just cant see her as a bond girl ....to me shes a definate henchman like a pussy galore type

[Tarl_Cabot]

Uma as a Bond girl:I haven't seen Kill Bill yet. I'm still horrified by Batman and Robin. I prefer a non-American, non-established Bond girl to any hotbabe *** kicking actress who wants a wish fullfillment opp with a Bond role. But she'd probably be bettter than Halle and is the ideal age for Grandpa Bond (Brosnan).

[Johnboy007]

she doesnt seem quite as refined as a true bond girl should be. she is beautiful but maybe not quite on a bond girl level IMO

[PaulZ108]

NO. She hasn't even been approached for the part and she's already started talking about how she's every bit Bond's equal.

[Qwerty]

Mmmmmm, no. Not as a bond girl. I really think she would make a very interesting femme fatale henchwoman, but I don't think she would be that great as a Bond girl.

[Genrewriter]

I'd prefer to see her as a villain as well.

[TheSaint]

Can we put a moratorium on American actresses in Bond films? I'd rather see someone like Monica Bellucci.

[Triton]

Sorry Uma, but I find you neither attractive nor talented.

Absolutely!

WTF? Uma Thurman is both attractive and talented. Hey, I'm just as much against another A-lister as a Bond girl, but if you're going to do it you might as well cast someone like Uma, who is exotic and mysterious and not cookie-cutter....

I think it could be good. But as long as she is not an agent or something like that. I think that should be given a rest. Maybe she can play a Tracy-type of character or Natalya-type.

[Blue Eyes]

Ah no, Uma Thurman is not attractive. She is attractive to you and others, and unattractive to Triton and the likes of others. It's all opinion

This whole thing smells of a simple PR job.

Woman appears in action film

Woman "is next Bond girl"

What a surprise. Journalism really is a skill, isn't it?

[Blue Eyes]

You left out 'misconstrue the facts' Jim.

It would be interesting to see Uma as a Bond girl. She can obviously act (as seen in Pulp Fiction) and can obviously kick butt (as seen in Kill Bill Vol. 1).

Unlike a Miss Halle Berry that we have dealt with before....:mad:

I thought Halle Berry was okay. I think the female secret agent thing is a little tired, but Halle Berry still gave it all she got or at least what the role called for. I think that as long as American actresses are used for Bond films, there will always be large pools of disappointment:

Generally, I think they (Teri Hatcher, Halle Berry, Denise Richards) did just fine. But they have all been bashed to some extent. Especially Denise, who really does not deserve it. I know I've said this before, but if she played the role of Christmas as originally written both the movie and her would not been bashed. As it is, though, she was fine. People just can't get past the fact that she is Denise Richards. Just like most critics can't get past Madonna in her own movies.

If it's not Uma, though, I would be willing to bet that it will be another American actress, probably as well-known. There's a trend here, and I don't think EON is going to reverse it. The Brosnan movies are on a winning streak, box-office-wise. They're not gonna muck about the formula.

[Matt O'S oo4]

Uma would be excellent.

Jerry Ryan?
M. Sorvino?

Hmmmmmmmm.

004

[Joyce Carrington]

Agree with Jeri Ryan. Think she's a very talented actress - and she's not unattractive as well! (and this is coming from a woman)

[ChandlerBing]

Time for Chandler to get in with his Catherine Bell vote.

I second that!!! Catherine Bell is like Denise Richards, but more mature. Can't lose with that.

[Athena007]

The 007 femme fatals are still, in a way, Bond Girls

[CommanderBond]

but shed probably be too much like Xenia from GE.

Isn't it strange how interest in the James Bond films is so great that an if an actor or actress expresses interest in playing in a James Bond film it is considered newsworthy? Uma revealed a fantasy of hers and because it's Bond related it is reported in the papers and the Web sites as news.

I would much rather see Debbie McWilliams or the producers cast an actress because she is appropriate for the character that was created in the script. I don't want to have an actress cast based solely on the fact that adolescent boys download her image from the Internet or for no better reason than the person is considered by some to be a "sex symbol".

[Athena007]

Remember she did play Emma Peel in "The Avengers" ...so we know she has Bond Girl potential...

[pic]... I don't know... but I could see it...

I'm sure there's no danger of Thurman signing herself up to the next Bond film. It's a simple wish of hers, possibly not even that, her true wish may have just been to make the news.

[INTREPID]

I was not aware that the femmes fatales are not considered Bond Girls.

Don't see the Avengers movie if you haven't seen it... it's just a tad overblown. Might negatively colour your perceptions of Uma. Also give 'Batman and Robin' a wide berth, although that goes without saying.
