South American Bond Girl In 'Bond 22'?

Producers looking for "a Latina actress in her late twenties, preferably with South American roots"

This very well could be legit. These "casting notices" have proven to be a good source for scoops in the past. Check this out.

[Vauxhall]

South America! That is fantastic news.

[00Twelve]

South America! Sweet! They're really taking hold of the location opportunities that fans have been wanting to see for a long time!

[Santa]

That's what I've wanted to see for a long time! SA is PERFECT for Bond.

[Judo chop]

Me too! I said so in my one single post in the "Bond locations" thread! SOUTH AMERICA! THAT'S WHAT I SAID!!!




Oooh...

Most dangerous game/chase scene in the jugles of Brazil?

tee-hee...

[zencat]

The idea of South America excites me very much. Hope it's true.

[MkB]

Wow... at least some good news today! :-)

[DLibrasnow]

Latina Bond Girl.

South America.

Six months production.

Good stuff.

Sounds great.

Good stuff.

It's not 007s first trip to the continent. I remember one Bond in Rio, for example, in 1979 (along with other examples).

See what I wrote here?

Am I good, or am I good?

[VisualStatic]

So now let the nominations begin.....

Cote De Pablo - chilean born actress.(yes the dark haired ex-Mossad agent on NCIS)


Just my 2 cents.

[Kilroy6644]

Mia Maestro. I'm not really sure if she has the acting chops, though. I liked her in Alias. Then again, she was also in Poseidon.

[Qwerty]

Location-wise, it definitely seems that this Bond film is going to be everywhere.

This sounds like a pretty credible report too.

[JimmyBond]

Interesting that both Bond and Indy will be travelling to South America in '08

[Cody]

South American girl and locations gets a from me.

So, to throw out a couple names while hoping that they don't just take the Brosnan era-ish route of casting J. Lo or Jessica Alba -

Catalina Sandino Moreno
Alice Braga

[Judo chop]

It

[HawkEye007]

Nice! I'm down with a South American actress and location. Hopefully they get someone who can act and is not just eye candy.

[pat006]

yeah mia maestro would look great with craig !!
she's from argentina ,and did a great job in alias
I agree about the pierce type of bondgirl ,not jlo nor jessica alba, please!!
as hot as they are they would end up like jinx and christhmas jones!!

[Fro]

There's just a ton of potential actresses they can pick, but that certainly narrows down things a bit.

J-Lo is thankfully too old now but Alba fits in the age range they want.

J-Lo, Jessica Alba...don't even go there. Look at the pedigree of star, director, etc. It will be someone akin to Eva Green. A strong actress first, "name" second. Besides, if they were going to go the movie star route, they probably wouldn't be putting out a wide casting notice.

[Harmsway]

Puerto Rico's been a rumored location, so this fits with that.

[Adrian Carlisle]

They'll probably cast Catalina Sandino Moreno or someone with more exposure, but I think Morena Baccarin (Firefly, Serenity) would be perfect. Right age, roots, and a true beauty to boot.

[JimmyBond]

, but I think Morena Baccarin (Firefly, Serenity) would be perfect. Right age, roots, and a true beauty to boot.

I love this idea, I've been hoping she'd get more work after her great role in Firefly (and by extension, Serenity).

[Santa]

Patricia Velasquez, Eva Mendes, Laura Harring, Eva Longoria (God forbid!). I suppose this could include any Spanish actress too. Obvious ones are Penelope Cruz and Paz Vega but I quite like Pilar Lopez de Ayala or Ines Sastre.

Yes that's what I thought. Of course now that the news is out, we're going to get rumors over the next few weeks about every latina-looking actress in town, we'll hear all about Jessica Alba, Eva Mendes, J-Lo, Penelope Cruz etc, and how they're in "final talks" with "movie bosses" to play the Bond girl. Meanwhile EON will quietly cast someone we've never heard of, with two film credits to her name, who will be brilliant.
Anyway, South America sounds good, we're long overdue. I get the feeling we'll be avoiding the obvious tourist traps like Rio and Buenos Aires in favor of somewhere grittier, perhaps like Uruguay as used in Miami Vice.

How aboot Chilean actress Leonor Varela, who was in Blade II, Tailor of Panama(!), and Arrested Development(!!)

http://www.imdb.com/...E... Leonor (I)

[Adrian Carlisle]

^ Leonor Varela did an episode of Stargate Atlantis in which she was absolutely luminous. Good choice. I also like Ines Sastre. Like I said, I'd love it if Morena Baccarin was cast, but there are much stronger actresses that have been mentioned.

I remember when she was in the TV movie version of "Cleopatra" several years ago. Her and Billy Zane did a remote interview with one of our local newscasters, and they had her say her name. The way she rolled her 'r's sent chills down my spine. I could go for her.

[blueman]

There was a story a while back about filming in Puerto Rico...adds up.

[Santa]

Roselyn Sanchez or Sofia Vergara, I suppose. They all seem a bit obvious though. I would prefer someone who isn't in FHM or telenovelas.
