Yes, this coyness does suggest something might be going on, as you say in some non eye candy support role.
I agree - she'd be better in the role than whatsherface, who is too good looking.
What if the decided to recast Moneypenny??? Is that a serious question? There is no way, NO WAY they would recast Moneypenny for Bond 24.
Thats a pretty good theory youve come up with there. Shame it holds about as much water as the Titanic's bilge bump.
Lets spend a whole film setting MP and then just recast her in the next film despite Naomie Harris already being listed in the cast.
Has Harris ben signed to play a completely different part to MP as Froggatt settles in behind the desk?
=))
That's possible though. Not very likely of course, but in this re-boot world Goodnight could be re-introduced, even for just one film, in a more conventional role (non Brit Ekland type) as Bond's secretary.
I can't remember what she looked like in the books, although that wouldn't have to matter.
Seriously though, I would love for either Paula Patton or Lea Seydoux to be in a Bond film.

And let us hope that it is only a cameo, not a real Bond girl role.
That would be such a negative, in my opinion. Nearly 60 posts on the other thread about her; we seem to be in the majority of not wanting her in a Bond film.
Regarding recasting Moneypenny with Frogatt, what if Moneypenny is just a code name...?
May I direct you to the film, Battleship.

Aside from the Scandinavian girls, I think the other names on the list (Cruz, Ponce, Lively, Heard) are also from frivolous reporting.
Froggatt and maybe Seydoux seem legit.
You beat me to it! %-( X_X :-t :-h
Brazen speculation. Not even a pretense of "sources say" etc, but it's out there, so on to the list it goes. :D

But the interviewer does not seem convinced
Which is a shame as Léa looked very retro and glamorous at the Miu Miu fashion show in Paris yesterday
Wrong. It actually comes from Schomes Know and those guys have often proven very credible in the past regarding (the internet's favourite pastime) Marvel scoops.

Add in, of course, they are only looking for an English and Scandinavian girl (having already got a few names for both) and this to me has zero chance of happening, and it should because to me, this was just one website having a laugh as they usually do.
We'll know in a couple of months what the score is.
I think what might give the Seydoux rumbles some credence is that she does make sense. She does strike as exactly the type of actress that Eon might be intrigued by at this stage of her career. She is a talent and she does have quite the intriguing look. She is at a pivotal point in her career as well. She is ascending.
Also her response to the net-a-porter magazine is very coy. "Non" but collapsing into self conscious giggles. This is all, that someone that had been approached, and was still under consideration, or considering, could say. They can't very well confirm anything.
Then again it could also be a response from someone that hadn't been approached, but wished to seem humble and flattered about the whole idea.
Who knows.
It just seems to me, the two names that fit best, among the rumoured, are Froggatt and Seydoux, and quite possibly one of the not very well known Scandinavian girls who look to have actually been auditioned. Although Seydoux could be the Scandinavian.
Again, who knows.
I can't see Froggatt as the lead Brit girl though. To be kind, she doesn't have the lead Bond-girl look.
There is a good chance that any serious lead Bond-girl approaches have remained a well kept secret.
As @samuel pointed out a few posts back, I think Miranda Frost is simply a placeholder name, for a character of similar look and style, but not necessarily femme fatale. Seydoux, I think could play English.
