There are lots of mentions about this in all the Gala Brand threads so I thought I'd bring the arguement into on thread.

I would have to say Yes... and I have the evidence to prove it! Think she looks incrediaby sexy in this picture and who can beat a British accent for a Bond girl. We no longer need Saffron Burrows because we have ROSAMUND PIKE!!!

Pike is a step back to the Honor Blackmans and the Usula Andresses. Not sleazy, not pørn star like. But bloody amazing all the same.

It maybe just me, but she certainly looks a little like Honor Blackman (in her Pussy Galore guise) in the bottom photo on the left.

[PaulZ108]

Is it just me or does she look like Daniela Bianchi in that photo? Tatiana Romanova is my favorite Bond girl and I like her looks and it looks like Pike's character will appeal to me on the same level.

[devilchild]

hi i checked out one of this lady's web pages i wasnt too keen but now i know she is the bond girl she is kinda growing on me i mean she is no izabella scorpuco or Britt Ekland, but yeah i would agree she has sex appeal and still could be worse could have chose an ugly chick like jill st.john what were the thinking with her

[scaramanga]

I think shes lovely. She's very attractive, but not overly beautiful, like Fleming described. She looks very 'pure' and innocent, in fact she reminds me of Jane Seymour as Solitaire in LALD.

What Blofelds Cat isn't mentioning is that he has quite a thing for Asian women. I'm not sure about this, but I think a few people may have interpreted his comment as having a go at Pike or something. Not so, is it BC?

God no!

I said in an earlier post above that I think she is drop-dead gorgeous.

And yes, Blue Eyes you are right. I live in a country FULL of beautiful oriental ladies, all with smiles. It's very frustrating, but my wife keeps me on the straight and narrow.

My original intention was to consider that Rosemund Pike looked a little oriental in that particular pic, and thinking it could have some bearing on the Korean setting.

Just look at those doe eyes. Delicious.

Water, water, all around....

Delicious.

I think she's gorgeous, and with her acting (stage and screen) experience she should do very very well.

Just, please EON, don't let her be a baddy. Pleeeeeeasssse :-)

BTW, with this news about Pike playing an MI6 agent remember in Moonraker Gala Brand was undercover. Even though EON may be getting rid of the name, Brand, the character could still be undercover in the main baddie's group as the scientist that was mentioned before. but my gut which is rarely wrong is telling me she will be a traitor to MI6 and Jinx will find this out and reveal it to Bond. I say this because I saw in the press conference Berry saying that Jinx will help Bond uncover a traitor!

I think two of the themes of Bond 20 are the BIG mystery of the traitor who betrays 007's mission to North Korea & 007's revenge against the culprit responsible for his incarceration & torture. Plenty of suspects...Frost...Col Moon...Falco...Jinx. Should make for an excellent mystery adventure and GOD HELP THE ONE WHO BETRAYS BOND !.

Nice find Daniel!!!

I guess this is a publicity shot from her days with the Oxford Playhouse?

I was only telling someone yesterday that my eyes must be going as I'm reading the posts in the printable version more often now.

Well, this ridiculous post of mine blatantly confirmed my fears. 8-)

Anyway, Rosemund Pike is drop-dead gorgeous, and if James Page wants to fight over her, its dueling pistols at 20 paces. But blindfolded, to even up the odds due to my apparent affliction.

[Jacques Nexus]

Yes I think she looks great too. I can't help thinking she looks like a villainess.

[Blue Eyes]

That's it Paul! I couldn't think what it reminded me of! But Tatiana it is.

Pike, sexy? Yes very. She's not your normal Bond girl sexy as Mr * said. That's the sort of sexy that belongs to Denise Richards. It's the large breasts, pørn star look. The girl who likes it every which way she can get it.

Pike is a step back to the Honor Blackmans and the Usula Andresses. Not sleazy, not pørn star like. But bloody amazing all the same.

And a very welcome one at that, in my household anyways!

I was beginning to worry about the Brosnan era, the women were getting a bit too obvious.

The observation about Tatiana is spot on, she was far removed from Ryder, but sizzled none the less.

[rafterman]

I'm warming up to her, I like a good natural look like Tatiana, very nice, but I'm wondering where the above photo's taken from...

Have you got your eye patch over the wrong eye BC?

Well it ain't over the brown eye, coz I don't have one.

But, she does look a little oriental in the eyes department. It was my better half that noted it, and she has chinese heritage.

So, I wasn't about to argue with the trouble & strife.

[Dr. Tynan]

She's nicer with her hair up, at least I think so.

[Blue Eyes]

Well lets hope she acceeds that Jeff! And it's great to have you here!

Here's a picture that I have of her that I doubt many people have seen before now!

[Blue Eyes]

Just to add fuel to the fire ;D

Unless they mean Colonel Moon. Remember, his father wants peaceful reunification and he is probably going to try to kill his father, shades of Elektra, not known to be the main villain at first but revealed to be such midway through. Still, your idea is equally feasible. I guess I just don't want to see Rosamund killed onscreen:-( Of course if she was it'd still work.

[White Persian]

Absolutely. She also projects intelligence which to me always counts for a great deal.
On the other hand, the ditzy Bond girls (you know who you are) never did a thing for me.

[Jay]

I think she is very sexy as well, much better than Denise Richards who had those pørno star lips, and you know what I mean! She looked trashy, the tattoo and all! Another thing is that even though Richards was 28 at filming she portrayed on film an age closer to 20. Just hearing Pike in the interview, she is about 23 but she acts and talks like she is 28 or 29. So even though we know she is younger than Richards she shouldn't come off on film acting any younger or as young as Richards did. it was also mentioned that she will be working with MI6, could she be the traitor that I heard Jinx will tell Bond about. if so that would be very interesting and would help create trust between bond and Jinx's relationship.

I don't know why I hadn't thought of this before, but I'm thinking it's probably Falco. He is, after all, a CIA agent and while it's said he's a rogue that could be something we weren't meant to know. Something to ponder.

[White Persian]

As I remarked on another thread, Rosamund Pike may be only 23, but she comes across as late twenties, early thirties.
Pierce Brosnan is 48, but he looks a decade younger, and Bond is in his permanent mid-thirties, according to Fleming.
I think they'll make a lovely couple.

[Mr. Solo]

She is certainly lovely, and apparently a true actress, but... 22 years old? Awfully young, don't you think?

Admittedly, she and Pierce wouldn't make as improbable a couple as Roger and Tanya Roberts... but still, 48-year old Pierce with a girl barely out of college? I hope the relationship doesn't come across badly (i.e., inappropriate) on screen...
