An upgrade in my opinion, since the M:I films themselves have been successfully drawing from the Bond formula since De Palma: exotic locales, hot babes, cool cars, high style, breathtaking stunts, larger-than-life action. So yes, please, let's make Bond more like the M:I films, which is to say, more like Bond. M:I does have a few hallmarks of its own (like having someone imitate someone else via some ultra-realistic facial/vocal apparatus), but really it's 90% Tom Cruise doing his own take on Bond. And they do it pretty well; in parts, Ghost Protocol really captured some of that Bondian fun, glamor, and scale that I would love to see re-infused in Craig's last two films.
I had to remind myself that she was in the film, to be honest. I don't think many people will remember, unless someone reminds them.
Media might try to run with the connection, but more people will probably connect her with Blue is the Warmest Color—if anything.
And I want to say I'm glad she is hired - not only for her looks, which are fine for the role, but also by all accounts she is a good actress. Very happy about that!
That's the thing. Being a gorgeous actress in an M:I movie does not draw the same amount of attention as being a Bond girl, plain and simple, even in more prominent roles. And while Léa Seydoux is a growing star, she is not yet a big star and certainly was not in 2011. And the M:I movies really have Tom Cruise as star.
NICE :D
Pretty cool!
She is too old to play a Bond girl and I really dislike her accent.
EMILY BLUNT. Accept no substitute. :bz
Emily Blunt all the way. Nobody will do it better
I know this was done successfully and enjoyably with QoS and Olga once she was officially confirmed. This site went nuts with pictures.
Can't remember what went down with SF.
@timmer you should also look out for Léa in Journal d'une femme de chambre (Diary Of A Chambermaid - same director as Farewell My Queen, Benoît Jacquot). Filming wrapped in July and it is due out probably first half of 2015. Benoît originally had Marion Cotillard for lead but then gave this to Léa. Previously, Léa was originally cast in his '3 coeurs' but had to pull out due to clashing filming schedules.
Here is Léa's Instragram - she does not update it very much but she has posted on set photos in the past

As for dedicated thread . Maybe a thread for confirmed Bond girls. (This is a rumour thread).
Place to put photos and tidbits about the actresses. I envision Seydoux and maybe a couple of others that eventually get confirmed as well.
@samuel or any mod, what do you think?
With some old Bond villian..

Nah. Her usual look and demeanor is the opposite of the "girl next door", she is moore like a little bit of stuck-up (in a good way) and sexy woman.
Haha! Bond 24 should open with this!
on being asked to do bad dance moves!
Yes, he would. An actor with real screen presence, enough charm and cool to match Bond's, and a distinctive face that can easily sell villainy.
By the way, I just noticed Cassel was married (until recently) to Monica Bellucci, who Brosnan championed for Paris in Tomorrow Never Dies and who eventually portrayed an excellent Bond girl of sorts in The Matrix Reloaded as Persephone.
