    Gemma whas very original choose with QOS, but there be remour Eon not happy with her natural voice and ask to work on her voice. Renee Zellweger in my opnion never be Bond material, but with her new look mabey she be more intresting as Quantum member.

    It's a shame that Renee Zellweger had to speak out about her appearance. She looks great to me.

    Where did you get this image with Daniel Craig, Felicity Jones and Mark Strong?
    Mark is also rumored to be in Bond 24, this maybe a publicity still that announces unofficially the casting of Bond 24! Felicity is probably the best girl to contend with Lea's bold looks. Great casting choice, M Balje!!!!!

    No, it was definitely me that first suggested Felicity Jones!

    Actually I think she's way too young for Craig. Would look well dodgy.

    Renee Zellweger would make an excellent villain/henchwoman. And the bonus is that she already comes with the obligatory hideous facial disfigurement.

    EON would save a fortune on makeup.

    What has the poor woman done to her face? Tragic. Almost makes you feel sorry for these people that they feel obliged to go under the knife like this.

    I don't think she is waay to young for Craig, she is 31 after all and older than Léa Seydoux but I agree that she does look very young.

    Felicity Jones is by far no Bond girl material. And agreed, we need NEWS!

    Wow. Jones looks about 21.

    I assumed Seydoux was older, but was also actually about to say that she too looks a bit young IMO. I thought the women so far (apart from Arterton) in the Craig era have looked about the right age. As Craig gets older they need to beware the sleaze factor. They need actresses in their mid 30s at least.

    She has a very 60s kind of beauty. I am not surprised she will probably be a Bond girl, I wonder however if her role will be minor.

    I hope the leading Bond-girl is also the lead villain.

    I'm not into "beauty for the sake of beauty". I think ever since "Casino Royale" the casting choices from EON Productions has been upgraded substantially. Great acting skills, with equally stunning acting CV's (Oscars) have to be combined with not just beauty you find on every cover....but with unique and original beauty.

    And my ultimate choice for an equally complex role that needs visually striking "unique" looks would be this Oscar-winning Scottish actress. Ms Tilda Swinton. She turns 54 November 5th, but I don't give a damn about age :-):

    She has these wunderful unique looks. No one can match her original make-up and fashion. In a way she reminds me of Grace Jones, but WITH the wunderful acting skills that these stunning "Bond girls" once had:

    Ilse Steppat (Irma Bunt in "OHMSS"):

    Lotte Lenya (Rosa Klebb in "FRWL"):

    I would love Tilda Swinton to be a Bond villain. This needs to happen!

    I think indeed this would be a major "casting coup" from Sam Mendes, Barbara Brocolli, Michael Wilson & Debbie McWilliams. If this could be true, then we're in for another fantasting ride of acting excellence and complex written characters.

    Helen Mirren and/or Robin Wright would be great names for such a leading Bond-girl annex Bond-villain. But Tilda Swinton would be my prime choice. Moreover, she already starred with Lea Séydoux and Ralph Fiennes in "The Grand Budapest Hotel". And Swinton and Ben Whishaw are sharing the same agent: Hamilton Hodell. All you need to do is dragging her into the role with help of Fiennes, Whishaw, Séydoux, Craig and Mendes :-).

    Léa Seydoux really reminds me of Diana Rigg in that video :)

    I don't consider Rosa Klebb or Irma Bunt to be Bond girls. AT ALL. We should make a distinction between villainess who may or may not be a Bond girl, and Bond girls per se.

    Why should we? We should we always make distinctions? Let's mix up those tags like "Bond girls" and "Bond villains" a bit.

    Let's not forget that many reviewers though that Judi Dench was the real Bond girl in "Skyfall". And is Maud Adams a real Bond girl, because she was already 38 during the premiere of "Octopussy"?

    In any case, what do you think of casting Tilda Swinton for whatever role? And how would you describe such a role for her then? Rosa Klebb was in many ways the lead villain of FRWL, in that she was the executioner of Kronsteen's plan. But at the same Blofeld was delegating a lot of tasks to both Kronsteen and Klebb. And Klebb has some nice sexual traits with her wip.

    The main villain will be a black male actor.

    Have been an advocate of Tilda as villain for ages. Would be great. Imagine if she had been cast as Silva. Would have been a nice twist.

    Mirren would have made a good M.

    Don't you think casting Swinton will be in line with what we have seen in previous Bond films with Craig? I mean....Mads Mikkelsen, Judi Dench, Albert Finney, Eva Green, Ralph Fiennes, Javier Bardem........great if Tilda Swinton can be added to that list of stellar actors.

    Moreover, I'm in desperate need of a female villain a la Rosa Klebb. I still adore that performance of Lotte Lenya. At that time in 1963 she was still very famous for her Oscar nominated role in "The Roman Spring Of Mrs. Stone". And she already won a Tony Award.

    Because they ARE different characters. I am not saying a Bond girl cannot be a villainess of course not. They are not mutually exclusive, but it is not because you are a woman in a Bond movie that you are a Bond girl. In other words, not all female villains are Bond girls, not all female characters in Bond movies are Bond girls. Is Helen McCrory's character in SF a Bond girl? Of course not! Yes, some reviewers said that Judi Dench was the Bond girl in SF, but they don't know what they are talking about: M has a completely different function in the plot and is a completely different character than a Bond girl. Rosa Klebb and Irma Bunt, who are sexually neutral and repulsive, did not and could not, by any stretch of imagination, be romantically involved with Bond. Basically, they are Bond villains who happen to be female (technically, one may add, as they are not exactly feminine). This is of course different with Miss Taro, Fiona Volpe and Elektra King, to name only a few, who are villainess of the femme fatale kind, thus can be (and were) Bond's sexual partners. It is debatable whether or not Moneypenny was or is a Bond girl. I tend to think she started as a Bond girl in SF and loses this status in the film, but that would need a thread of its own.

    Now Tilda Swinton could play a great female villain, in the mold of Rosa Klebb and Irma Bunt. I am all for it. But a fifity something Bond girl? It's not going to happen.

    Or at least it is very likely.
  • I hope the leading Bond-girl is also the lead villain.

    We have no confirmation of that fact, well that none that I've seen. All I've heard is that they were considering Chiwetel Ejiofor, which more likely means they're looking for a British born actor to play the villain.

    What are you talking about? I would prefer a female villain too. L-)
  • Posts: 15,106
    We are getting very off topic now. We have no evidence whatsoever the Bond girl will be the villain, let alone a villain. In fact it seems more likely that the villain will be male.

    You can't get on-topic either @Ludovico :-P. Because.....there's nothing to say! There's no new news. By the way, people know by now that we're merely outing our best wishes to come true for Bond 24.

    Although, one can continue that in here as well :-):
  • Posts: 15,106
    Let's put it this way: in a thread about hypothetical Bond girls, talking about female villainess for Bond 24 when there is no evidence of it (in fact, we have some evidence, however thin, of the contrary), even actresses that have not been rumoured is off topic. I know we speculate, but we speculate about specific hypotheses. Blofeld may or may not be in Bond 24, but this is not the thread to talk about him.
  • Thanks for that vid, @leas_mole! I always assumed it was "Lay-uh Say-doh" not "Lay-uh Say-doo" so thanks for the correction!
