I don't think Megan Fox is Bond girl material not even Lara Croft material..I did read she even states she "looks like a hooker'.
Fancy that.

[Gustav Graves]

Exactly...and that was not the aim of my topic. No hookers please (I have seen a bit too much big breasts in this topic. And those were not my pictures ). And tatoos on females? Sorry, not my cup of tea! Stylish original looking females are more welcome in this topic though.

PS: Carice van Houten would never visit that ghastly MTV Movie Awards. If there's one thing I don't like, it is connecting Bond too much with the MTV generation.

Okay, to kick it off: I am gay . So I don't give a about big boobs and other elements that make a Bond girl hot and sexy (allthough this still is important).

No offense, but this is one of the most bizarre statements I've ever heard. Bond girls are essential to the Bond film lore, and they've practically defined "sex" for the last nearly fifty years. Many of them aren't even essential to the stories, so if you can't admire them sexually, they become rather unnecessary. To me, this is like someone saying, "I don't give a about action in Bond movies."

How dare you to bring action in this topic, when we are discussing Bond girls. You just miss my point. Basically you say you want to have Bond girls with....nothing more than big boobs? Frankly, I can understand now why so many actresses say 'No' to the Bond girl role. Of course men are sexistic. But Ian Fleming did not write the role of Camille. He did wrote the complex females bearing the names Vesper and Tracy.

Sexism was necessary in the sixties, because no-other films were doing that. But having only brainless barbie dolls in a 2010 Bond film is NOT my idea of a Bond film. Bond films should be trendsetters, not shameless trend-followers.

I quite agree but posted the Fox pics to prove my point.

To me Eva Green was the the best and will remain the icon to live up to.

This subject was discussed before somewhere and honestly, I couldn't see Craig giving his OK with women utilized that "sixties' way anymore and couldn't see any decent actress wanting to be.

On that note though, Olga and Gemma were ok to look at but their acting skills were quite horrendous.
I'm sure EoN and Craig would like that to be No 1 priority, if not it should be.

You missed my point, as well. I didn't say that brains were not necessary, I tried to point out that sexuality is just as important. That may sound shallow, but that's the way it's always been with the Bond films.

Forgive me, but actually it strikes me that it's your post that is bizarre, since what you seem to be suggesting is that because the original poster is gay (as am I), he's incapable of appreciating the Bond girls for their sexuality. It doesn't work like that. I can recognise a sexually attractive woman, just as I'm sure straight blokes can admire a sexually attractive man (it's just that most of 'em haven't got the balls to admit it... ). Surely, all GG was meaning was that he's looking beyond the superficial elements he cites in his appreciation of the Bond girls.

What's truly hilrarious is how many straight guys - no matter how hideous - assume gay guys are after them and want to cop off with them. It doesn't quite work like that...

To be fair, we haven't really seen any "brainless barbie dolls" in a Craig film so far, at least not in major roles (not sure if Le Chiffre's girlfriend even counts as a Bond girl), and I hope, and think, that trend will continue. Many of my female friends certainly appreciate this, and I hope the producers/writers have learned from earlier mistakes by now (Sutton, Christmas Jones, etc.).

[Quantumofsolace007]

The real problem is all of my bond girl suggestions many assume are big boob dumb bimbos but Hilary Duff, and Amanda Bynes are in my opnion good actresses.

and if they diversified a bit many would agree.

To be fair, most of the leading "Bond girls" in the past 20+ years have been written as intelligent characters. Sometimes it just gets messed up in the casting department (denise Richards). The Solange character from CR was basically there for Bond to have a fling. She was supposed to be a bimbo, but they cast someone who not only could play the part, but stunningly beautiful enough to excite straight men, gay men and I would dare to say straight women

[darkpath]

If the 23rd is set in Asia, then I continue to hold hope for Yukie Nakama.



I've seen her in drama and comedy, which she handles exceedingly well. She is an accomplished actress with a versatile range.

Oh, I almost forgot, she also has that feature that Fleming seemed to be so enamored of, a "wide, generous mouth".

OMG i'm agreeing with a poster hoooray


I would prefer Summer glau as a good bond girl.

Perhaps a master thief (ala Connie webb in the doomed third Dalton Bond film)

Boobies! Did someone say Boobies?

What I would like to really see is an actress who close to the age of who ever is playing Bond. There is trend in movie to always stick an established middle age actor with the current young starlet. It just look silly to me.

Hi Fox glad to see you welcome to CBN.


I'm on the fence with the age of the bond girl I feel younger could work in certain situations (I still say i would be cool to have a daughter of a member of Quantum be the main bond girl a sort of Talia Al ghul for the bond franchise a woman torn between her love and loyalty to her father and this man who she is faling in love with goals she deems similar to her father but ultiamtly opposes her father) I feel in that are early to mid 20's works perfectly anything beyond that is a stretch (which is why Mrs bynnes shows up in my fan art)

Speaking as a straight woman (not that my sexual orientation really matters), I did find Caterina Murino to be extraordinarily beautiful in that role, and also quite believable as a rather silly Bond woman who wasn't a brainless bimbo. It was clear that she'd made her choices in life, and she understood that those choices had consequences. Still, she didn't deserve what Le Chiffre did to her (no one did), and in the end that made her a sympathetic character, for me.

By the way: I only just now realized that she and Gemma Arterton were in a film together (2007's "St. Trinian's"). Two similarly doomed sacrificial lambs in two consecutive Bond films, with the film they're in together sandwiched in between the two Bond films. Has that ever happened before?

I have to say I think Samantha Morton would be fantastic in a Bond film,although probably too much of a big name.

But for me she has all the requisite sex appeal,intelligence and acting ability.
Not to mention charisma.

She could be on the side of 'right and virtue' or oh boy what a villainess she would make.

Bit of a dunderhead with computers so can't post a pic to illustrate my point. Sorry.

[DouglasJ]

What was that girls name, who was rumored for Vesper prior to the Eva Green announcement? English, I think. She was in Casanova with David Tennant. I think it was Rose Byrne - I'll just look her up.

Yes, I was right. Except about the English thing - she's Australian. Anyway, I always liked that casting idea - would like to see her. She's established, but not yet a household name. And it's just my opinion, but I reckon she can act.

[jaguar007]

I actually would like to see Yvonne Strahovski from Chuck as a secondary Bond girl. Perhaps if a BOnd movie takes place in Australia (she is Australian)

Strahovski would be fantastic as a Bond girl. She's definitely one of the most talented actresses currently on TV, and she's one of my top two choices to be a Bond girl in the next couple of films (Olivia Wilde being the other).

[lechero]

As much as I like Chuck, Strahovski is just not a good actress. I don't want to see her in a Bond movie.

Maybe it's the dress but that image just called to mind:

Not saying she'd be a bad Bond girl. Honestly I've not seen her in anything, as far as I know. Just a random observation.

Wow, that's quite an amazing similarity there, Tybre!
