Bond Characters - Duplicate Thread; sorry ... to be closed
4EverBonded
the Ballrooms of Mars
I will start again with my apologies if there already is an appropriate thread for this; could be, I just couldn't find one this morning. I will move this if need be; just let me know, mods. Thanks.
I was just thinking. Many have made comments such as ... If only Paris in TND had been played by Monica Belucci! True there are plenty of characters I think we would like to have given to a different actor/actress. But Monica has not ever been in a Bond film (much to my chagrin). Switching or replacing actors/actresses who have only appeared in Bond films is more difficult than just suggesting any actor or actress. It's rather tricky.
What I propose is: What Bond film actors/actresses would you replace with another Bond film actor/actress, if given the opportunity?
Let's take Paris, for example. I am rather annoyed by Hatcher. Who would I replace her with? (But it has to be an actor/actress who has already been in a Bond film). This is a fantasy game, so any Bond film is all right, actors/actresses stay the same age, let's not get too scientific here, okay?
For me, I'd replace:
Paris in TND - Hatcher out/ Luciana Paluzzi in (Fiona from TB becomes not a villain, but a sizzling ex-girlfriend)
Christmas in TWINE- Richards out/Carey Lowell in (Carey would be credible and kick ass, even if she still had the same stupid dialog it would be a big improvement)
Stromberg in TSWLM- Jurgens out/ Savalas in (Jurgens wasn't that bad, but Savalas was meaner, stronger, and could ooze more evil)
Blofeld in DAF - Gray out/Pleasance in (this won't be popular except with me, I think)
Bambi and Thumper in DAF - Lola Larson and Trina Parks out/ Grace Jones and Denise Richards in (the fun of having Bond shove them underwater and they come up sputtering and beaten!)
ETC.
So, let's have some fun! What are your replacements?
(My list will eventually be longer; I didn't even mention Jinx yet!)
Switching would usually result in disaster, perhaps. But if you can think of a good true switch, let's hear it! I think what I was originally thinking of is replacement, not a real switch. I'll try to think of a decent switch soon ...

But Bond drowning Grace Jones and Denise Richards sounds great.
Sorry, I will post my suggestions there ...
Lock this one up, mods; it's okay. :)
