Moneypenny? Are you kidding? Naomie Harris should be the leading lady. What's all this about Harris being "Moneypenny" or Bond's secretary crap?
["Berry was pathetic, but Jones was a magnificent Bond girl. Not on the sexy side imo, but a tremendous physical threat and henchwoman, so indeed, the comment was suspicious imo."]
Halle Berry was first rate as Jinx Johnson. What's the matter? You have a problem with her uttering the phrase, "Your mama"?
The tragedy of the character was almost Shakesperean, and one of the few lasting memories of this film."]
Strawberry Fields was a waste of time in that film. And Gemma Arterton's time was wasted as well. They could have given her a better role than that.
Halle got stuck with some really awefull writing to her part.
But I expect she laughed all the way the bank.
Since I happened to like Halle Berry's performance, then I guess she's not universally hated.
["Halle got stuck with some really awefull writing to her part.

So did the rest of the cast, especially Rosamund Pike, who came off looking like a complete moron in her dealings with both Bond and Jinx.
The problem with Jinx was the writing, not the performance. Sure, Halle Berry isn't a great actress, but she had a lot of fun with the part, and played off well with Brosnan.
At the very least, Berry was a step-up from Denise Richards. That ain't much, but it's something.

She also confirmes that Debbie McWilliams is back as casting director. I think it's quiet interesting that she says she has no idea what role do the producers and Mendes want her for ...
Naomie Harris confirms she's involved in a secret project... Ladies and gentlemen News of the world actually may have got it right for once.
I take it like this Harris is in bond 23 what is her part I don't know but unless i see evidence to the contrary I'm taking this audio clip from her as confirmation that she is in bond 23.
what would i like her to do the more I look at her the more i think she could easily be the bond girl. as far as character name and background I would like a fleming name for the bond girl actually. Liz Krest (enough time has passed for only die hards to know about Milton Krest) maybe or perhaps Rhonda Masters.. I'd really like to see the fly caught in the web kind of bond girl perhaps a quantum leaders kept woman or daughter perhaps would be nice to see her go through the character arc of "who do i trust bond or my father?" My 2 cents... now if Fiennes and Bardem can confirm they are in a secret project as well I'd be rather happy.
As for the secret project, maybe she has got Bond!... "It'll be a nice film but I don't know where they're going to shoot it" is the reply when asked "here (UK) or America?" Good catch @Risico007, this is four days old, how did we miss it? Strange, how Harris is more open on the Podcast. Why would that be?

“For starters I don’t even know what role I’d be playing because you don’t get given the script when you audition for Bond. You get given a scene from a previous Bond movie.
where did she learn to speak English?
replace Get with Aren't and Are, Woman!
I don't know if it partly has to do with the Actor/Actresses pronounciation of English or the Audio dubbing.
Furthermore, some of these movies I see in theaters that had dialogue that I couldn't understand, I still couldn't understand it watching it at home with the volume turned up - I had to put the subtitles on.
At the movie theater, you can't rewind, you can't just turn up the volume and you have no subtitles.
If I have to spend part of Bond 23 trying to figure out what Naomie's character is saying, I would be very upset!
I couldn't understand some of the stuff she said in 28 days later and POTC and Miami Vice and Ninja Assassin.
You know how in some movie credits you will see listed so and so actor/actress' speech coach? well, she will need one of them to make sure she is pronouncing and enunciating everything correctly and clearly before filming each scene!!
i have no abjections to HARRIS
from what i have read and the information given so far is kinda of vague in my opinion at this stage in the game
plus its my first hearing of this... so i'll take a wait and see approach
She wasn't cutting it as an actress from 1989 to 2000: getting crappy roles in crappy movies and crappier TV programs until she was cast in X-Men and then she agreed to show her breasts in 2001 Swordfish.
If it weren't for Swordfish and her selling out her body for $2.5 million in that film, she would never have been cast the same year for Monster's Ball where once again, she had to get naked and play a prostitute just to be noticed.
If she never made Swordfish and Monster's Ball, she would still be making the X-Men movies, most likely would never have been cast in DAD and even with DAD and Monster's Ball on her resume, her career today is pretty much still not going anywhere!!
look at her record since DAD and Monster's Ball, outside of the X-Men franchise:
Gothika
Catwoman
Perfect Strangers
Things We Lost in The Fire
Frankie and Alice
not exactly stellar for someone who won an academy awards for Best Actress!!
