Miller snubs Bond role

MILLER SNUBS BOND ROLE

Model/actress SIENNA MILLER has laughed off reports she will become the next JAMES BOND girl, claiming a role alongside 007 would ruin her burgeoning career.
The majority of Bond girls, including BARBARA BACH, IZABELLA SCORUPCO, MARYAM D'ABO and CAREY LOWELL, have failed to capitalise on the international exposure following their high-profile appearances.
After Miller's LAYER CAKE co-star and alleged ex-lover DANIEL CRAIG was chosen to replace PIERCE BROSNAN as Bond in October (05), the British press were quick to tout the blonde beauty as a perfect companion for 007.
However, Miller says, "I don't think it's the right time for me to be a Bond girl. It may undo all the hard work I have been doing this year."

Bad choice Sienna...Cary Lowel is on a TV show married to Richard Gere, Kim Basinger has an Oscar, Famke is doing well...be much higher profile than Alfie.

[Whalltt]

... and Rosamund Pike, unknown before DAD, is doing very well too: Pride and Prejudice, Doom, and I believe she be a lot more talked about in the future.

[Gobi-1]

She could do worst, say marrying Jude Law.

[Whalltt]

Maybe she prefers to be known for her love affairs than for her acting

[Righty007]

Casino Royale would ruin what career?

[DLibrasnow]

Thats hardly fair....Miller does have quite a good career.

Not only does she have LAYER CAKE and ALFIE to her name but she's also the female lead in CASANOVA, the trailer for which seems to be playing before every movie I see these days.

She will also be playing the title role in CAMILLE .

A handful of mediocre movies is a "good career?" Her career isn't good enough to make her think she is too good for a James Bond film.

With that kind of attitude what a good thing she isn't going to be in it. Personally I think she is a pretty non-entity, or is that pretty much a non-entity? She proves the old adage of the showbiz world - it aint who you are its whose bed you wake up in. Bad attitude Sienna, now be quiet and go get this great career we keep hearing about.

A Contact music story is just that, a story. I'm surprised any longtime Bond rumor watcher is giving this any kind of credibility. We had the Sienna Miller rumors already, they were meaningless then, and they're meaningless now. Even if she begged for the role, EON will specifically avoid her because it will lead to countless tabloid articles about her and Daniel Craig, and cast an ugly shadow over CR. Nothing to see here.

[Johnboy007]

I find this amusing. The reason she is as famous as she is, is because she was Jude Law's girlfriend, not because she has talent.

Oh well.

I find it quite unfair to condemn someone for things they may not even have said. So many, many of these "articles" misquote, take quotes out of context, or just plain make stuff up. As such, it seems quite harsh to judge someone based on reportage of this ilk.

I understand people being protective of Bond-dom, but I can't imagine Ms. Miller would be deliberately dissing Bond.

Contact Music is by far the biggest offender of doing this.

Didn't Campbell and Craig say Vesper's role is awesomely written?

Must be PR bull.

The Sienna Miller story is just more tosh. Even the Daily Telegraph is reporting the Jessica Simpson one now!

Basically, no one knows anything really and someone in a newspaper office has to sit down, pick on an actress and make up a story from a "person associated with the production" saying that the actress is under consideration.

And, given the Daniel Craig/Sienna Miller "rumours" in the real world, of course she wouldn't consider the role, any more than the producers would choose her!!

Is it just me or doesn't Vesper need to be a little older than early 20s, if Craig is 37?

Cue the Nicole Kidman stories

I've never seen a Sienna Miller film so I can't comment on her acting ability. However, this annoying, constantly re-appearing fiasco with Jude Law doesn't exactly make her appeal to me much.

It's not really fair to blame Miss Miller. She's really quite young - early 20s - she'd been engaged to a Hollywood star, with a rotten history including dumping Sadie Frost, the mother of his children.

Later on, Sienna and Mr Law split up, she had a brief fling with Daniel Craig in the interim (allegedly) then got back together with Law who discovers her brief fling and very publicly dumps her.

When I was in my early 20s, I was astonishingly naive and did all sorts of dreadful things . . . things that at the time didn't seem so bad.

It's not fair to condemn Sienna Miller any more than any of the other characters in the unfortunate soap opera the tabloids have created.

[blueman]

Like what?

[Bondian]

Maybe it's because Barbara Broccoli hasn't got her in a breast lock yet.

Indeed.

[booyeah_]

Ruin what career? The eye candy of a drugdealer in a crime indpendent film, a role in the crappy and unnecessary remake of a great film and not much else. I doubt she was offered let alone considered for Vesper, plus she's blonde and I doubt they cast Vesper as a blonde.

Which one of those movies you quoted is CASANOVA which is certainly being plugged as a blockbuster.

Casanova hasnt come out yet so I cant judge it on commercial terms or whether or not I thought it was any good, so I didnt comment on it. Still, she's not Streep or anybody to have movies be "beneath her".

I would agree wholeheartedly with these last comments. I also highly doubt Miller was even offered the Vesper role. I could understand the reasoning behind Jolie getting it, but not Miller or Simpson.

There are more Bond girls who have suffered a credibility loss through having accepted a Bond girl role than who have succeeded to go on to better things, so I don't blame any actress for turning down what could be seen as the "Bond Girl Curse".

I find the fact that the directing gig was first offered to Mathew Vaughn ( Layer Cake) and the Bond role offered to Daniel Craig ( Layer Cake) adds credibility to the fact that the role of Vesper was offered to Sienna ( Layer Cake).

I think she may have turned it down for the wrong reasons and not to have bothered reading the script.

The fact that Eon appears to be going after some top named actresses suggests they think they have a strong well written role in Vesper. The fact that these actresses are saying no is a good sign. Powerful Hollywood actresses demanding changes to flex muscle verses Eon refusing to budge on what they clearly perceive is a good script can only be good for the final film. If, of course Eon wins.

Lets hope Eon do and we get the right actress for the role no matter what her current status.

[TheSaint]

It might be too early to say that CASANOVA will be a blockbuster or not but, if it is I will be highly surprised.

[TheREAL008]

Maybe she just doesn't like the script or even dare I say....Daniel Craig?

Anything's possible

Considering she had no problem jumping into bed with him, I don't think that's the problen. No, she has a movie coming out, so her publicist has chosen to link her with the Bond role, that's all there is to this.

[Bryce (003)]

Fine.

"The bitch is dead."

Monica is a better choice.

Her loss.
