Definitely agreed there. If two people are on the screen and Rachel McAdams is one of them, guess who I'm paying the most attention to? That said, Murphy was excellent in Red Eye, as he is in just about everything I've seen him in. He's still not my top choice, but I could see him falling into a top 5.
She is talented and sexy.
Bond girls don't have to be British. so because of the love ive seen here for her seems like she would be an obvious choice.
Tery Hatcher was fine and did a pretty good job in her scenes with Pierce.
Would i have prefered Monica Bellucci? yes but I did like her take on Paris Carver and her back story with Bond.
So with a good script she could do perfectly fine. As much as people criticize Die Another Day and The World is not Enough The ones who had the good parts did a great job and causually happened that Denisse Richards and Halley Berry ended up with the worst lines.
I loved the world is not enough but any actress would have been ridiculous in that role and Halley she wasn't so bad the only problem people seem to have with her is Your Mamma line to Zao.
I'd be absolutely thrilled if they could get McAdams in a Bond film. Supposedly she turned down an offer to star in Casino Royale, but now that she's doing the Doctor Strange film, maybe she's not as adverse to franchise fare these days and would reconsider Bond.
As for American Bond girls, I don't think the nationality matters so much as the writing. They should just write a good character and then cast an American actress in it rather than trying to make the character "American", which I think is the mistake they often make. With McAdams, though, it wouldn't matter anyway, as she's Canadian. ;)
Plot and character need equal and thorough care and attention and we just haven't been getting this consistently for years.
Id say European actresses fit more with the franchise tahn just posh British girls. And I did like Jinx as well but Halley could have been beloved with better lines to say.
When she got out of the water she did have the woww effect on audiences, looks wise seems like everyone loved her the problem was the script.
Also I agree that European Bond girls, well women from anywhere really besides the UK and US fit the world of Bond better as they capture that natural authentic exoticness.
I'm not averse to US based actresses, but they just come across a little plain Jane to me. Maybe it's the way they're written but it could also be the accent, which is hardly sexy imho.
Totally gree on everything you said here but just one thing Halley she did look better on Die Another Day than she did in X men or the very talked about Sword fish.
Bond has been one of her best moments on film looks wise.
=P~
Her hair in that film( Swordfish) was a little distracting. I didn't like the hair style in that film
Agreed. The American Bond girls don't tend to work so well. French probably comes top, followed by English and Italian
Probably but I can't remember when.
If not, might it be time?
Alexandra Maria Lara would have been good. i think she might have been better in Sp than Seydoux.

True. Craig has been bingeing on Frenchies - every film infact apart from QoS.
Well, we're well overdue for another i think. Sure @thunderpussy agrees!
Tomorrow Never Dies was a wasted opportunity, Since they could have easily made Paris Carver a german, cause the movie played In Hamburg. But instead they cast an American, which made zero sense
Eh? He's easily more handsome than Hiddleston and Turner combined (IMO, obviously).
You haven't seen him much in other type of roles then, have you? Or maybe you have, and we just really, really disagree on that. I'd say he can do anything on the soft/vulnerable/innocent to hard/cruel/psychotic scale.
