Monica Bellucci, yes.
Britain's Saffron Burrows, though EON might think she's too 'old' for the part.

Which actually raises the question, how old is too old? After this recent run of 20something Bond girls it might be interesting to see Bond with someone closer to his own age, or even older. There are plenty of women over forty who are still incredibly hot. Monica Bellucci has already come up here, and have you seen Famke Janssen these days (not suggesting bringing her back, just making a point)?
I'd certainly like to see a Bond girl who has the same veteran edge Bond has.


I like this line of thinking. I would really want a more mature actress if the character is in some sort of role that would require a signifigant amount of experience. We don't want another 20 something nuclear physicist, do we?

While I certainly wouldn't mind seeing an actress that's right around Craig's age, I don't necessarily think that we need to have someone around his age. If the types of Bond girls that we've had in the past two films had been like their counterparts in the four films prior to CR, then I would agree, but the 20-something Bond girls we've had in CR and QoS have been the best of the best (with Eva Green being absolutely head and shoulders above every other Bond girls, at least in my opinion). There's plenty of other 20-something actresses who could come in and hold their own with Craig in future films, and if the scripts call for them, then great. I certainly would love to see actresses like Olivia Wilde (who was reportedly the runner up for the role of Vesper), Yvonne Strahovski, Rose Byrne, and many others in a Bond film in the very near future.

Now, there is a great number of 30-something actresses that would be fantastic in future films as well. If we're going for actresses closer to Craig's age, then I'd be all in favor of actresses like Diane Kruger, Selma Blair, Rachel Weisz, Kate Winslet, Paz Vega, or many other actresses that have been mentioned on these boards.

Monica Bellucci, fat? That is possibly one of the most ridiculous things I've heard in a long time. She has gained a small bit of weight over the last year or so, but calling her fat is ludicrous. She is still stunning and has the same incredible figure she's always had.


I still have my heart set on Marion Cotillard or Rose Byrne, though.

I'm not joking. In the film that she does with Clive Owen she was fat.

I believe she was pregnant during the filming of Shoot Em Up, and her character was a pregnant prostitute. Anyways, gaining some weight during pregnancy is not the same as being fat or obese.

That may actually stop me watching BOND 23. Horrendous woman, and poor actress. No thanks. Mallika Sherawat would be a preferable Bollywood option.

I'd like to see a Bond girl at least over the age of 30. There are sexy actresses over 30 out there, this isn't Logan's Run. :(

A relative unknown as well, as that has been working well.

All of these names on this forum won't matter. I like it when they pick the unknowns. Look at the Connery Bond girls who I'm sure were unknown to most people in America and are now fan favourites. We've tried big names before like Hatcher, Richards and Berry and they didn't work well. Who was this Eva Green girl anyway? Don't think her name was on Bond Girls for Bond 21 forum pre Casino Royale.

You're damn right! Who knew Eva Green before her appearance in CR? Noone! Conclusion? Unknown actresses are better than already famous ones!

Um... I actually knew who she was before CR. I was a big fan of THE DREAMERS ( :( ), and when I heard she was cast as the new Bond girl, that was when I first became excited about the movie.

I didn't know her at all, before CR. All I knew was that she was a model not an actor! As a result I was impressed by her acting skills and by her beauty! It seems that her original appearance on screen was in "The Dreamers"! Thanks for the info!

well if EON decide to continue bonds quest for vengeance against quantum i think
that mr.whites girlfreind (the one seen with him during the opera sequence)
would make a ideal bond girl. she could be a good lead for bond to further pursue the remaining members of quantum. the actress name is Elizabeth Arciniega
heres a pic link.

What they do is not hire complete unknowns, but those who may have had minor parts in movies you've seen. Prior to CR I had no idea who Daniel Craig was, until I was reminded he was in Tomb Raider (which I have seen but can't remember him). Same with Eva Green from Kingdom of Heaven, Mads Mikklesen from King Arthur, Mathieu Amalric from Munich and Olga Kurylenko from Hitman (haven't actually seen it, but heard about it).

My point is it won't be a complete unknown, more like "oh it was that girl who was in that movie"

True that. Generally speaking, Craig Bond needs to get some variety into his choice of bed partner. So far they've all been twenty something caucasian brunettes.
