Yes sir ;-). I'm not just a fan, I'm the most autistic Bond nerd around here ;-). Because of all this casting news, I've been buying new Bond merchandise, including official licensed BluRay steelbooks (only GF, SF and GE have been officially released in stunning beautiful steelbooks). I bought "Bond On Bond" (damn, Sir Moore is funny). And also the entire 50th anniversary BluRay collection I just bought (finally, restored to its original sound effects, that was on the DVD Special Edition, but got replaced on the Ultimate Edition DVD's by dreadful too modern sounds. How can you do that to Norman Wanstall's legacy!).
So yes, there's something wrong with me hehe :-P.
The best is to combine both:
A) Typical, but unique and suave Bond looks and beauty,
with,
B) Top notch acting skills on a stellar Oscar-worthy acting CV.
Sure it would. But there is only so much one can invest in one movie. Why not find great actors before even the Academy (known to be last almost all the time to get the message ) knows about them?
Whaaaaat? Can you post a link to the source? EMILY BLUNT has been my number one choice for months! She would be amazing!
Her schedule isn't that clear she's working on a film called 'Sicario' with Josh Brolin which is due for release next year.
Also, to some peoples dismay Joanne Froggatt's schedule is completely clear If you look at her IMDb page
Emily Blunt's schedule is completely clear. They have already finished filming Sicario. As for Froggart, it doesn't really matter whether her schedule is clear or not as she won't play the main Bond girl. (I am 100% sure about this. End of story.) :bz
Someone's a bit touchy... And what reasons do you have to say that she won't be the Bond girl unless you're a member of the crew which I very much doubt?
Rebecca Hall has a suspiciously clear schedule at the moment, but would Mendes really cast his girlfriend? Would there be a height problem opposite Craig?
Another actress with a seemingly clear film and TV schedule is Rose Byrne. Since September she has been appearing in a play on Broadway and I have been unable to find out how long her commitment to the play lasts. Considering that she was a strong Vesper contender it wouldn't surprise me if Eon went back to her. She represents my best guess at the moment.
Blunt got me in her first scene in Looper I think - when she came out of her house and started smoking an imaginary cigarette (her character was obviously still in withdrawal mode). - totally cool scene.
I just saw those interviews. She won't appear in Bond 24, unless she is an excellent liar. :(
1. She objective doesn't have the looks to be a Bond girl.
2. They won't cast an actress to play the main Bond girl who is less accomplished and well-known than the secondary Bond girl. No, the main Bond girl will be somene more famous than Léa Seydoux.
3. Actors that appeared in Skyfall but won't appear in Bond 24: Judi Dench, Javier Bardem, Albert Finney. These are world class actors and Bond 24 will need other world class actors in their place.
If Froggart appears in Bond 24, she will have a small role, like McCrory did in Skyfall. This is what she said in the summer: "Who wouldn’t like to be a Bond girl? I am not the Bond girl type. I would probably be more a Q or an M…we’ll see. I don’t know." Even she knows she is no Bond girl material...
Everything you say makes sense and personally I hope to god Froggat is not the main girl - while a good actress she is just too plain for me.
I can't even tell you why I'm sticking up for her. I've never really seen the stuff she's in and I am from the UK. I think it's just the fact that as much as I love Emily Blunt (especially in Wild Target) I just don't see her as a Bond girl alongside Craig. My ultimate wish is that Andrea Riseborough is the Bond girl in Bond 24 but after seeing someone on commanderbond.net mention that having two Bond girls who have worked alongside Tom Cruise quite recently is not a good idea, I now know that it's probably not gonna happen.
I don't think the producers will care about that. After all, they cast Seydoux already despite her MI role and they cast Finney despite his Bourne role. They know how to make the character suitably different so that it won't be a problem. Hell, they may make Seydoux a redhead or brunette so as not to draw comparisons with her MI character.

I forgot that Blunt also starred alongside him haha. What is it with us Bond fans and girls who've been with Cruise.
"Tilda Swinton to play 54-year-old Bond Girl"

He's always been my first choice for the Henchman role; I hope it true.
Most main Bond-girls have been unknowns at the time. The only A-class female actors who've been lead Bond girls have been Diana Rigg and Halle Berry, IIRC.
I agree, more recently Severine was considered the main Bond girl and Berenice was an unknown.
Severine as the main Bond girl? Are you kidding me? She was in the movie for about 10 minutes. Skyfall didn't really have a main Bond girl but Eve had a much larger role in the movie than Severine.
I don't think screentime matters. I agree that there wasn't really a main Bond girl in Skyfall but for me, Severine was the main Bond girl if I were to choose one. Having Eve turning out to be Moneypenny, turned me away from thinking that she could be considered the main Bond girl.
