@Pierce2Daniel She does look suitable.
I have also been thinking about that Joanne Froggatt thing, and it seems that whenever they cast a British person, they choose someone with a really posh accent, which she doesn't have. Now I don't agree with being elitist when it comes to the way one speaks and maybe it sounds far-fetched anyway, but it was just a thought.

She's the blind chick from mission impossible ghost protocol.
Lea Seydoux is a very, very, very good actress and well-established already (at least in Europe), but I don't think she's the kind of actress for a Bond role. She's starting to do more commercial movies, but she shines in more obscure dramatic roles. I don't mean to discredit the James Bond franchise at all, but I hope she stays away from this.
Seydoux has a very chic sexy Parisian feel to her. She would fit with the very European flavour that has been suggested with the recent location rumours. Could she be playing the Scandinavian character that has been suggested?
Check out these very cool adverts she did for Pravda, directed by Wes Anderson:
It's hard to believe the report this links to was not picked up in March.

Maybe it's just a cover and they're casting Gala Brand instead? One can dream.
A French Léa Seydoux as a British secret agent? And so young as well, at 29, could she really have the main lead? She doesn't even fit the age range.
Perhaps she'll take the secondary role ahead of all those Sweeds or just might be the femme fatale we have been waiting for, another role altogether.
Something doesn't add up to me.
EDIT: So, all Miranda Frost is, is a placeholder name for the female lead. One that more than likely now has a name.

No wonder it did not make sense. It was a load of rubbish from a website that only writes made up stories for laughs.
Now the Schmoes say they have a very trusted source...
Some Web whiz kid should put up a betting site on weird rumors, that anyone can propose, so can people who think they can tell the truth from the lies could bet on it and prove to everyone later on if they are good or not. It could have some success, even without any real money involved. People staying silent for months and then bragging "I knew it" when the answer is public is becoming more and more boring on movie forums :)

So if I understand the Shmoes, they claim to have a casting breakdown as such
"Lead Female (30-40) Attractive, sophisticated, cool and calm secret agent. "
And from this they extrapolate Miranda Frost reborn, but maybe this time not a double agent.Confusing.
If Babs and MGM are seriously even considering her then I applaud them for not being so into physical atttributes versus thespian abilities.
IRC Olga just came out of the blue back in 2008, and the board suddenly erupted into 100 pages worth of Olga pictures and bio stories etc.
In 2012 I recall there was some advance rumour notice of Marlohe, and then in very short order, it was confirmed.
As for the smaller role, Scandinavian Bond girl, I bet one of the many names that we have will get that role.
But I miss blonde Bond girls!
Yeah, maybe, but I suppose, they also want to have a difference o DC's own blondness. Personally I find it difficult to find blonde bombshells, who also look interesting and not the average blonde beauty..
Actually of the list above, I think she might be the only serious candidate on it, for lead Bond girl, which suggests any other serious candidates have managed to stay under the radar.
Lea Seydoux can play blonde as well. Here she strikes a Bond girl-like action pose for MI.
Unfortunately she looks about as threatening as Bach, in one of her karate chop poses, but that's OK, we don't need her fighting, and she's quite a good actress, so whatever she is called to do, I am sure she will ace, assuming she gets the role, which is a gigantic if at this point.
Amazing there is nothing of any real substance lurking about, as to who the lead Bond girl might be.
I'd be happy with a bevy of blondes. Worked well in Goldfinger. Blackman was blonde enough, joining serious blondes Shirley Eaton, Tania Mallet and the unforgetable Margaret Nolan as Dink. :D
Best Bond blonde of all-time. Brit Ekland. Slam dunk, IMHO of course.
There are several roles for women in Bond films, some bigger than others. Nothing to say they want Ms Froggett for the eye candy roles. She would have been a perfect MP, but if she's cast I suspect it will be a minor speaking role. In interviews she is being very coy on the question of Bond, so it's definitely a huge, undeniable 'maybe'.
My number 2 choice: Rebecca Hall
My number 1 choice: Emily Blunt. She would be perfect.
Eventually Paula Patton
Both of them too old unless playing the villain. Two words: EMILY BLUNT. Accept No Substitutes.
