Then again Stirling's pedigree would provide oodles of free press and help people rediscover the sadly overlooked OHMSS.

I think Rose would be fine for it. She has that troubled look in her eye and seems young and vulnerable enough to end up as a pawn in someone's plan (that's why I posted this in the SPOILERS forum). She also played the kooky role in WICKER PARK so she could probably pull off Vesper's breakdown. C'mon, how could you not see 007 being smitten by this innocent face:

Can I ask, why has her ability to speak Russian got any bearing on her suitability for THIS film?

I think she would be nice as Vesper. Has the right looks, but possibly the age could be a problem, but that the producers decide.

Your post makes a lot of sense, and after all you maybe right. Thinking more about the Vesper character from the book, she does seem young and pretty innocent, comparing to the older and wiser James Bond.I think she would be nice as Vesper. Has the right looks, but possibly the age could be a problem, but that the producers decide.
Actually, I don't think age would be a problem. I may have to re-read Casino Royale but I got the impression that Vesper was rather young in her mid twenties no more than thirty and I saw Bond as an older man who at first thought she was way too young but slowly found himself falling for her. I think the fact that Craig is older could help with this. Like I said before she should be young, innocent and naive. She should even seem a little out of place, like she should not be a part of the dangerous world in which Bond exists and in a way she is like a way out for Bond(not unlike the marriage to Tracy in OHMSS) until it is cruely taken away from him.

I agree very much with this line of thinking, along with marktmurphy's post referring to the departure from the scene of Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron. (Besides . . . Angelina will be otherwise occupied this forthcoming summer).Actually, I don't think age would be a problem.

Are you heavily depressed or something? Byrne will be great. Maybe not as good as Stirling, but that doesn't mean she will suck.if they don't cast stirling, the series is dead. A 4 years old could direct a better casting agency than the current Bond team. Unbelievable.

Good point. As we keep being told, the story has been "updated". The chances of any SMERSH connections are low to zero. Especially when the villains are of european descent.

spynovelfan you alluded to it but everytime i see a picture of her i immediately think of Jane Seymour. Interestingly enough, Seymour was cast young and was the bond girl in a new bond's first movie. Ironic how things work in circles. BTW, love her last name.(Byrne's my last name) Ha

Although I think Rachel Stirling would be a fine choice (am not at all familiar with Vera Farmiga, so cannot say), I have seen Rose Byrne act, in a movie called I Capture the Castle.
