  mod edit This tread can henceforth be used to express desires for new Bond girls. We cannot continue opening a new thread each time a suggestion for a Bond girl is made. Thank you.

  Emily Blunt
  Thandie Newton
  Carice Van Houten
  Rebecca Hall
  Lotte Verbeek
  Vera Farmiga
  Jessica Chastain
  Alexa Davalos

  I have to admit that ever since The Uninvited and Sucker Punch, I have the hots for Emily Browning.

  Browning looks like a child. She lacks the presence of an adult female, especially for that of a Bond girl.

  Give her 5 or 6 more years and she'll be 27 - 28.

  And Craig will be 48...

  Dimi, let me ask you this. Gun to the head, who'd you choose, Browning or Daniel Harris? ;-) I'd like to see Danielle Panabaker in a Bond film (i've been smitten with her since F13), bonus points if she survied the film (that'd make a nice change from her recent roles), but that ain't gonna happen.
  
  Some other choices...
  
  Sienna Guillory
  Ludivine Sagnier
  Neta Garty
  Nikki DeLoach
  Jaime Murray (yep, i'm still preaching that sermon)
  Tammy Blanchard
  Samantha Mathis

  Yes on Jaime Murray - very lovely, can wear clothes extremely well, and has loads of charisma. Check out her wildly different characters on Hustle and Dexter - she would fit in as either a good or bad Bond girl.

  Then put her in a minor role or wait even longer, until a new actor is cast as Bond. Simple really. And hey, as we know 20 years gaps aren't that unusual in a Bond film.

  Oona Castilla (Chaplin) - she had minor role in QoS and look great... For me one of the best(if not the best) actress...

  I think they should go with an unknown or little known actress, in her early to mid 30s, like Louise Bourgoin

  j7wild, I agree. One of the joys of seeing the early Bond films for me was discovering these lovely, exotic, unkown-to-me actresses. I remember all the guys feeling the same way after our group saw GE - an experience that wasn't repeated seeing familiar and non-exotic (American) actresses in other Brosnan films.
  
  Maybe it's from being raised on the early Bond films but I always prefer women from all over the world as Bond girls. As I'm from English-speaking North America an American or even British actress doesn't seem "exotic" to me. But if Bond films take place all over the world then it makes sense that the Bond girls (and Bond allies) should reflect that cosmopolitan nature.

  now that she is almost world famous - she can be a Bond Girl:

  if Daniel can be in the remake of the films that made her famous, she can be in the next Bond film;
  
  it's VERY FITTING!!

  j7wild - funny, but also a very good call. She's lovely, got incredible screen presence, is a very good actress, and is unknown to mainstream audiences. Unfortunately she'll probably be too well known in a couple of years, but she's exactly the type of actress that I would think of the series needing.
  
  To clarify my previous post - unknown and exotic is great, but I'd also like to see a great actress with loads of screen presence as well. If someone is like Rapace and is unknown to "Hollywood" then it's likely that EON can scoop them up for a reasonable price. Why pay a huge salary for Halle Barrey or Teri Hatcher when you could get someone like Famke Janssen or Noomi Rapace for less?

  The Bond movies have always hired unknowns - well at least to me - for years:
  
  I never heard of Ursula and Daniela and Jill and Jane and Barbara and Lois and Claudine and Carole and Maud and Britt and Talisa and Carey and Maryam and Famke and Isabela, etc etc etc
  
  then they started hiring actresses that were a bit too well known, first in 1985 with Grace and Tanya and then with Denise and Michelle and Halle and Teri and I THINK that's when some of the allure and mystery of the Bond films started fading....
  
  Hiring the famous known actresses didn't help the franchise, I think it hurt it more because the screenwriter had the thinking that:
  
  "Hey they are famous, we don't have to put much into writing their character - proof: Teri, Denise, Halle's characters in their respective Bond films were poor and lifeless and shallow and cardboard!!"
  
  The Bond films have never needed a big name on the marquee (aside from the actor who plays Bond) to bring in the audience!!

  The original poster mentioned Lucy Punch.
  
  She's not Bond Girl material, but she's serious Moneypenny material - good looking but not drop-dead gorgeous, not that far from Craig's age and a consummate comedy actress who's worked in both the UK and the States in the last few years.
  
  She could bring the hint of glamour and lightness that Penny lends the films in her sleep...

  I recently have watched Death Race 2 and I... "I think I'm in Love!!" I said. No.1 girl I suggest:
  
  Tanit Phoenix
  
  Another one, that would be good:
  Yvonne Strahovski (from "Chuck" TV Series)

  How about Tanit Phoenix? She's South African and enough sexy to magnetize Bond, IMO. Watch Death Race 2 and some of her IGN Babeology videos, if you want:

  Just the other day I was telling my friend, if they ever decided to start doing new adaptations of the Ian Fleming novels, I think this Russian actress would be great as Tatiana Romanava. Also, compare her to the original illustration of the character on the cover of the novel.

  Great choices, M_balje! ;-)
  
  Felicity Jones would be quite ideal for me as well.
