I have been backing Beckinsale for as long as I can remember. She would be a fantastic tough Bond girl that could pick up a gun and shoot baddies, or lay Bond on his arse. If not her, I really really really really really really really really really really want Kate Winslet to have a chance. She is 36, and is perfect for the role with her amazing talent and beauty.

If this doesn't happen it will be one of the greatest missed opportunities in the franchise.
It isn't? Plenty of Bond girls have been picked just because they look hot.
Acting ability first and foremost? Nah. Bond girls are sex symbols, looks matter more imo. I mean, if the worlds best actress was ugly and obese, would you want her in a Bond film?
Bond girls acting ability doesn't matter to me unless it's an important part like Tracy, Elektra, Vesper, etc. More often than not Bond is just going to shag her then move on anyway, so they don't always need an Oscar worthy actress. Obviously they shouldn't hire her if she's completely terrible, but if she can say the lines decently and looks hot then that's fine by me.
If a Bond girl is a good actress, that's brilliant, but I think looks matter more.
If it's a part like Vesper, Tracy, Elektra, etc, then yes the girls need to act too. But overall, for Bond girls, looks come first.
Feel like starting a campaign. Beckinsale for Bond.
Reasonable actress, incredibly beautiful. I think that's good enough, I mean, think of all the Bond girls who haven't been good actresses and haven't been as good looking as her.
And If I could pitch the movie...
She's absolutely perfect.
Why is it an either/or situation? Why not have a woman who is both good-looking AND a great actress?
Hence my keenness for Kate Beckinsale. Or maybe Emilia Clarke, big fan of Game of Thrones.
Nice bond girl and poster canada.well done.
The kates are too old.
That'd be the ideal choice and if she's hot and a good actress, that's brilliant. But we're talkng about which matters more, and I think for Bond girls looks come first.
She would be the Breast Bond girl ever.
It isn't good enough. Hmm, now I wonder why AVTAK, TWINE, AND DAD all had crap bond girls, just to name a few.
Tanya Roberts was a bit stiff, but I liked her. I enjoyed the performances of both Sophie Marceau and Denise Richards, although Marceau got a little hammy towards the end. Both Halle Berry and Rosamund Pike gave good performances, despite the bad dialogue forced upon them. However, the writers did not do Pike any favors by allowing her to make dumb decisions.
Miranda Frost is the only one in that film that isn't a blubbering idiot. Bond can't tell when his gun is loaded, Jinx is...well, A JINX, Graves can't do anything but speak in motivational mottos and has a robot fetish, and Zao is just angry that his face isn't full of diamonds from Tiffany's and has a need to do anything for Graves that hints at obsessive love.
There's a name that I haven't heard in a long time...I googled her and was quite surprised at how much she's aged. Perhaps she's a smoker? Nice to see she's still getting work, looks like she's starting on an AMC TV show now.

Add to all this maybe - Katherine Heigl. I think she could of been quite impressive for maybe a late Brosnan release or even Casino Royale. Maybe I'm just tired. Damn technical difficulties aren't helping..
Heigl would have been horrid. EON would have had their hands full. What a diva. Room temperature water PLEASE! Stuff it, honey.
All I keep getting are damn saved drafts nonsense, nothing will go through, getting mighty hacked off now, so I'll try again and get this through and make a dash for it before I leave a hole in the nearest wall. At risk of histrionics, I'm almost at the point now where I feel like fckn screaming
I will get this damn post through
