Who should be a Bond girl?

  I'd love to be able to say that doesn't matter, that the fact she's a talented actress should be all the qualification she needs. Sadly (ok, sadly's probably too strong a word) it's unlikely we'll see a Bond girl over the age of 30-35. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating "James Bond: Granny Snatcher" but casting a Woman over the latest flavour-of-the-month Girl would make for a refreshing change.

  I fully agree, and an older BOnd-girl would make it possible to fleshen-out the character more.

  The original poster mentioned Lucy Punch.
  
  She's not Bond Girl material, but she's serious Moneypenny material - good looking but not drop-dead gorgeous, not that far from Craig's age and a consummate comedy actress who's worked in both the UK and the States in the last few years.
  
  She could bring the hint of glamour and lightness that Penny lends the films in her sleep...
  
  

  she was Verity in St. Trinian's

  she is a bit strange looking sometime depending on angle of photograph and how she is posing for the camera

  I'm with St. George on that one, she'd be excellent as Moneypenny.

  Just throwing her name in the hat. There's no really sexy posing pictures of her on the net. But she's beautiful enough and played Dan's on and off flame in Sword of Honour.
  
  She is of course Megan Dodds ; http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0230155/
  
  She's mostly done tv, like the miniseries Sword of Honour with Daniel Craig and one full lenght feature in Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot.

  I'm for Olivia Wilde. She has great experience and auditioned for Vesper in CR. Eva was too good, but now Olivia should get her chance. Thanks to Cowboys and Aliens she has a closer acting relationship with Craig and knows how he works more than ever as an actor. And just look at her!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  She's heavenly.....

  Good choice @SharkBait, loved her when she was in Spooks.

  And she's closer to Dan's age. 41. Although she doesn't much look like a forty-year old.
  Has a bit of that classical beauty about her.

  I like her. And she has a striking resemblance to Olga. Look her up in Google guys. They may not use her for that reason.

  Monica Bellucci. Wanted her to be a Bond girl for years.

  Strangely enough @Creasy the first time I saw TWINE I mistook Sophie Marceau for Monica. They too have quite a striking resemblance.

  Absolutely. I think that's why; I enjoyed having Marceau as a Bond girl, and after I saw 'The Matrix: Reloaded', I thought they were twins. They look so alike, and so beautiful.

  Brosnan was right with that, EON should have gone with Bellucci for Tomorrow Never Dies, who he wanted in the first place. Would have been much better as Paris Carver.

  Monica Bellucci might have been a suitable Bond girl, but supposing Bond 24 is shot in 2014, she'd be around 50 when they wrap up shooting. A different role, as a villain like Klebb or Bunt for example, would still be possible of course.

  Monica and Danny Boy can recreate the famous bedroom scene from FRWL

  I'm not sure which actress specifically but I'd really like to see a blonde bond girl. It's been awhile.

  Olivia Wilde would be perfect.
• DoubleO7

  August 2011 Posts: 22

  Yes, agreed. I just looked at the post above about her, too. She's been a blonde before and I think it would be a nice change from her other roles. Plus, again, she has acting chemisty with Craig.
  
  BTW, how do you insert images in your posts?

  Got you covered @Double07. Get the full view of an image, right click and copy the image address. Then post it in a comment. Around that image do this exactly:
  
  First paste your address. Then type this before the address: <(no spaces)img(1 space)src, and follow this with a =, no spaces. Follow that with quotations around you image address and then type > at the end of the image address's ending quotation.
  
  That is it. I'll try my best to help if you have any more questions.

  I'd be very happy with Olivia Wilde, I was wondering who the girl was in Cowboy's trailer (it isn't out here, yet). Stunning woman, that.

  She was also in 'Tron' and the TV show 'House', from Season 4 on.

  I like her In House, but everything else going on overshadows her angry demeanor at times. Hugh Laurie deserves an award for his performance. One of the most brilliant shows I'v ever seen.

  Yeah, his character is beyond fantastic.
  
  But either way, I would love to have her be a Bond girl, especially now that her and Craig have some chemistry.

  How about Nadia?
  
  She's not a stranger to action films, she was in Nid De Guapes (The Nest), A little known under-rated French Action Thriller;
  
  She was also in The Crimson Rivers and The War.
  
  She is 38, that's not too old and still younger than Daniel Craig!!

  I just saw The Change-Up and Cowboys and Aliens, and Olivia Wilde could possibly be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life.
  
  BUT! For that reason, I don't want her to be a Bond girl because I would be distracted by her for the whole movie, and I wouldn't be able to appreciate anything else about the movie which has been the case for the past three movies I have seen her in (TRON: Legacy, The Change-Up, and Cowboys and Aliens)
