As for Berenice, she was terrific in her character in every aspect, only to be robbed of what could have been outstanding due to the very little screentime she was given.
On the acting part, I'm also grateful we're not just getting beauty queens with zero acting capabilities. Barbara Bach comes to mind. Too wooden to be taken seriously.
The greatest crime made by the Bond franchise since DUD, IMO.
I agree on the girl next door thing. I guess that may be what appeals to me, although I agree it's perhaps not a traditional Bondish quality. She's definitely got that sultry swagger of her mother and her father's style though. I was surprised when I saw her on film.
Likewise. I'm intrigued.
As long as the double's up to par, I can forgive it.
Absolutely, and that is actually one of my early indicators of whether we're going to get a good Bond film or not. When I saw the unknown (to me) female cast for GE I had a feeling the film would be excellent. SP didn't give me that feeling at all because I knew who the actors were. I'm hoping to be similarly surprised for B25.
I agree. She made such a bold entrance into Mendes's little drama and deserved to stick around longer.
I have to disagree on Bach. She's no Green but I took her plenty seriously in TSWLM. I thought she played a sexy icy Russian spy very well, even if most of that was on account of her acting inability.
Bernice Marlohe I always found far more attractive as herself than as Severine. But she's my ideal casting model for new: unknown, beautiful and exotic. Her beauty is not a common one. I'm pretty much happy with the casting of all the Bond girls of the Craig era so far, look wise especially. Heck, even the very minor female characters (the Haitian receptionist or the one in the Bahamas) I find them perfect Bond girl material, to the point when I almost regret he didn't find time to bed them.
I understand where you're coming from on the voice and it's a common criticism. I just find her vocal monotony and coldness appropriate for a Russian spy. I disagree on the emotion though, which I think she conveys very well in several scenes.
The great example of Barbara Bach was the scene from TSWLM where she angrily says to bond- "when the time comes I will kill you".. she seems a bit cold being a Russian spy but there were scenes where she nailed it.
Her face was in many of the shots of her body so you can usually tell.
I may have to check it out.
RE: Dakota, I just remembered that she's also Tippi Hedren's granddaughter as well as Melanie Griffith's and Don Johnson's daughter, so acting is definitely in her blood.
Just think of all the fan fictions with Bond in the Fifty Shades style. :))
Talulah Riley
I can't remember seeing her in anything but I know of her. Definitely Bond material imho and she has personal experience with ambitious types (Musk) and could perhaps channel some of that as a villain or villain's girl.
Vive la Canadienne, vole mon coeur, vole, vole, vole.
Sorry I had to write this.
She wasn't bad at all in Endeavour. Don't know if I see her as a Bond girl, but who knows? Maybe she'll be a name to consider for Bond 26?
I think she can be seen as a Bond girl.

On earlier pictures, she looks to skinny. Only at them to give idea.
Quantum Of Solace have more woman in the movie too then only Olga and Gemma. Second the movies need more ''Octopussy, TSWLM, Moonraker'' type of Bondgirls. Think Kristina Wayborn / Magda, Mathis girlfriend, Danish girl from TMND. Nice woman cars or or woman driving a nice car be nice too, more cars who be driven then only the Astin. (Spectre have parking cars, shame there not use atleast one other of those cars following Bond on that moment or mabey later in the movie we see 1-2 cars again at the villian lair.)
Has anyone seen Nikita?
