Who should be a Bond girl?

thelivingroyale

Eve Myles. She's been in Torchwood and some other stuff.

Don't think we've ever had a welshy before.

I don't think she's pretty enough. She seems a bit bland.

I've been getting addicted to K-pop (anybody on this forum a fan of K-pop music). I've been listening to Girls Generation (or SNSD) and I see 2 beautiful singers that have Bond girl potential on film or in a video game.

Choi Soo-Young







SooYoung is one of the prettiest girl in the group, she has done acting for various Korean Drama so I think she could be a good Bond girl if given a opportunity. Her English is very good, she seem to know more English then what her fans thought.

Seohyun (real name: Seo Joo-hyun)





This is Seohyun, another pretty member of Girls Generation. Her English impress me because when she speak English, she doesn't show any Asian accent and no, she never studied overseas. Here's a video of her speaking English with barely little Asian accent:



She doesn't do a lot of acting, but I think she has Bond girl potential.

Also for the upcoming movie, Emperor, with Tommy Lee Jones, I noticed a pretty Japanese actress, Eriko Hatsune, she looks kinda cute and exotic enough to take a Bond girl role (maybe for the film adaptation of The man with the red tatoo), she's 30 years old by the way:

Samuel001

If she's good why not Olivia Lee? She did screen-tests with the potential Bond actors in 2005. She's 35 now so I'd imagine this upcoming film would be her last chance.

I'm very impressed by the looks of Nora Arnezeder! Anyone know if she's a good actress?
So cute..

@Copenhagen, those women all look beautiful. I sure hope they can act.

Why not Tallulah Ryley ?

Maybe it's because I'm older (I'm Craig's age) but all of these girls (not women) look WAY too young. This seems to be more of a "girls I think are hot" thread than a "Actresses who have the presence, acting ability, and age to be a Bond girl".

Just my two cents.

4EverBonded

I'd like Catherine Zeta-Jones as a Bond villainess.

Helen Mirren as part of top tier of Quantum (or whatever the baddies turn out to be).

I still don't think Jennifer Connolly is too old, and she is talented and so lovely. Just my thoughts. Though the main Bond girls tend to be in their 20's, don't they ...

You are not alone, I think many of the actresses brought forward look very much like lolitas. I think given Craig's age, I would rather have a Bond girl in her thirties.

Almost all of them are in their 30's! Bourgoin (my french fave) is 32 this year - by the time the next film is out she'll be older than Marlohe is now, Herzi is 26 - older than Eva Green in 2006, Navarre is 34, Jampanoï is 32, Dequenne is 31, Giocante is 31, Mesquida is 31, Bernier is 28 - the rest are younger, but at least in their mid 20's, hardly lolitas.

Some of them are in their 30s, yes, and of course I am all for them being cast, but some others are in their 20s and do look like lolitas. Heck, I am all in favour of French Bond girls, they usually make the best Bond girls IMO.

While you're adding some various Asian actresses (I'll agree they're all pretty), I'm going to add some Korean actresses in this one too, since I think South Korea would be happy to have one of their actresses to take Bond girl role (BTW, I think a lot of you need to try to watch more K-drama, there's enough beautiful actresses from SK that could have Bond grl potential):

Han Chae Young:





Soo Ae:







Han Hyo-Joo:







South Korea is getting more famous for the last few years because of K-dramas, and the popularity of K-pop (which I'm very addicted to). It would be nice for EON to maybe make the next movie take place in both Japan and South Korea. It would serve as an apology to South Korea for the Die Another Day fiasco, and oh yeah, need a South Korean Bond girl, can help the massive audience to maybe try watchign Korean drama and try out K-pop.

How about Camilla Arfwedson . The only thing that I've seen her in is believe it or not an advert
for a holiday company ! I feel she might lend a touch of class.

The Secret Escapes advert? If so, then the thought had crossed my mind, but I get more of a Moneypenny vibe.

I thought about Moneypenny too but I don't wish to lose Naomi how about the new Mary Goodnight?

Sheridan Smith.

Just my two cents.

Michelle Rodriguez has lots of presence and can act.

Jeeja Yanin is a brilliant martial artist who could beat the crap out of any of the Bonds and would make a great henchwoman.

Eve Myles is a good actress who deserves more fame, she did the action stuff well in Torchwood and she's won Baftas.

Sheridan Smith is a fantastic actress who's won lots of awards and really deserves more fame than she has. Probably a better actress than any Bond girl we've had.

So my choices weren't choices just based on looks. Are all those girls fit? Yeah, and that's pretty much the no 1 requirement for being a Bond girl. But I didn't pick my choices just because of that.

Samuel001

Sheridan Smith's a great choice. First rate. After Skyfall, one hopes EON are going after 'higher caliber' choices. If so, she could be on the shortlist depending on the role. She's blonde too!

4EverBonded

How about Angie Harmon? Just thought of her. I think she'd be great!
