Eva Green's Career Rising after Bond (as with most DC's Bond ladies)

edited May 2014 in News Posts: 1,282
A tv show with Timothy Dalton and now Sin City 2 with free publicity by a poster controversy...DC's more meaningful Bond ladies seem to have broken the Bond curse....Eva Green's Vesper ghost haunted QoS without her even needing to act, that's how good she is.

    Eva Green was very good in CR. I have not seen her in anything since, but it's good to see her getting decent roles.

    Olga Korylenko (whatever her name is) was much less impressive. I was very disappointed when they cast the girl from the last Jason Statham movie in QoS. She lived up to my expectations....

    She was doing pretty well before as well, decent actresses will always remain working

    I found myself rising after I saw Eva Green, too. Coincidence? I think not.

    Yes i thought about this the other day when i saw her in a film and then Penny Dreadful on the same day by coincidence.

    Good luck to her,she is a good actress and her looks are even improving with age.
    Not many Bond girls go on to do other things but it seems if you are in a Craig Bond film then your prospects are good compared to the others.

    I think it's also partly down to the fact that (up until Berenice) they've been casting actual actresses, rather than just models and celebrity pin-ups. Most of Rog's 'girls' were just eye candy.

    Once again what a load of rubbish, Halle Berry does very well too and her projects are perhaps bigger even................ So that means absolute nothing.

    I think it means only when you as an actress pick decently and had a decent career beforehand you stand a better chance to survive in the harsh and competitive world of movie making.

    I do not know you enough to be called pal by you by any rate, that in itself would be enough for a personal dig. ;)

    But NO it is no dig, it was aimed at the never ending ideas of the James Bond series being a career breaker or ending. The franchise in itself is by any means a high point in anybody his/her career. the continuation of their careers is not being influenced at all by the franchise but personal career choices, and some do better or worse than others. Some actors have done very well and other not but that came from choices made not being influenced by EON or any other party than their own. That the Craig folks are doing well is perhaps due to a different kind of actor they attempt to lure, more aimed at a professional career than a good looking lass who aims to get a career out of parading around in a swimsuit in a 007 movie. She is bound to get more of the same until other lasses look better in bathing suits.

    Like I said Halle Berry does very well and you do not call her performance in DAD a high point in the 007 franchise, and yet she is professional enough to continue a good career regardless of the rather personal criticism she gets on this site. She is a very accomplished actress that got the poor end of 007 scriptwriters.

    Speaking of Craig's Bond girls advancing. Just saw Arterton as witch killer Gretel, in Hansel and Gretel: Witch Killers. Loved it. She's one tough witch waster.
    Bond girl, Famke Janssen as lead bad witch too. Double the Bond girl fun! :\">

    Any news on Caterina Murino? I thought she was lovely in Casino Royale, but I haven't heard of any new projects or developments, really.

    The supposed 'curse' had more to do I suspect with EON hiring pretty actresses with little talent. Once there looks faded so did most of their careers. Eva is really on the upswing this year, she has two starring roles in two rather pulpy movies that have been getting lots of fanboy attention (300 and Sin City) and has the starring role in a new TV series which I hear she's quite excellent in. She deserves it, she's a great actress with a magnetic and enigmatic screen-presence, in addition she has an amazing smokey-sounding voice. Campbell and co were lucky to get Green so early in her career, however her performance in 'Kingdom of Heaven' had signalled her out for stardom. I think they where lucky to get her to commit, she was a young actress making films on her own terms and at the time Bond had a certain stigma attached to it, Craig's involvement has now of course changed that.

    Craig's Bond girls have all had interesting careers post-Bond. Kurylenko played the lead in a Terence Malik film and has numerous other leading-lady roles and Arterton had a huge surge of attention after doing Bond and turned up in nearly every blockbuster for a while. Furthermore, Naomie Harris already had a very successful screen career before Bond.

    This poster of Eva has been doing the rounds of the internet recently:

    Yeah, that's what Eva said. ;-)
  • I know it's kinda pointless but I wonder if Eva has been asked in an interview if she's seen QoS, what she thought about it etc..

    I hear that the Eva Green poster is being banned. I don't see anything wrong with it? C'mon America! Lighten up.

    Yes, it was apparently banned by the MPAA "for nudity — curve of under breast and dark nipple/areola circle visible through sheer gown," yet the other posters featuring Jessica Alba dancing on a stripper stage and Mickey Rourke and Josh Brolin with firearms don't cause any amount of stir.

    All I see when viewing Eva's poster is a beautiful woman that deserves to be appreciated, not censored. It has always amused me at how prude we can be about our own bodies. Quite laughable, really, that posters like this are banned when it's just showing off natural features on a woman, yet depicting violence is a-okay and more than accepted.
  • My god, she's got fantastic knockers.

    Really? That's the way you want to word that?
    We usually don't put things quite that ... bluntly/crudely on this forum.
    Or have I missed a lot of that somehow?

    Any other comment you care elaborate in a nice way about your appreciation for her appearance?

    I would say she's the most famous girl (in terms of DC Bond girls). Olga and Gemma have had roles here and there, and I haven't seen Berenice or Caterina in anything else.

    That comment was meant to be immature, piggish and attention grabbing. Just ignore it.

    I have a lot of hope for Berenice. She's not only a pretty face, but a great screen presence as well. Her scene across from Bond as they stared at each other from the skyscrapers was magnetic and mysterious, and she really did great in their casino sequence together as well. I hope she does well.

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, absolutely, she has a lot of talent and I hope it doesn't go to waste on a few small roles that nobody sees until she just fades away.

    I just checked her IMDB profile, and she seems to have some pretty big movies coming up - or films that could be. She's doing '5 to 7,' which has a pretty big cast, then she wrapped up work on an untitled Terrence Malick film. I don't care for his work in the slightest, but apparently he is very, very picky on who he has in his films. Her last slated film (as of late) is 'Prisoner of War,' which seems to be an alien invasion movie. But, at least she's keeping busy and getting roles!

    That's cool. Hopefully she'll eventually end up like Olga who had the spotlight during her Bond involvement and still went on to work with a lot of big names in the acting world like Tom Cruise and Pierce, not to mention some great directors as well. Berenice has an amazing look that is so immediately captivating, and her mixed ancestry is compelling as well, a perfect combination; she can easily command the screen. I can see her taking just about any role she wants, and I hope she gets those chances.

    Yeah, Berenice has something special, both absolutely gorgeous and a very talented ability on the screen, so I can see her leading some excellent performances if she gets the chance to.

    All I can say we all know from Ursula Address to Halle Berry other Bond girls went. Beside Eva Green what happen to Caterina Murino & the early Bond girl Tonia Sotiropoulou who was appeared earlier in Bed with Daniel Craig? I don't nothing latest them too.

    I have seen Caterina around in a couple of things, but not in any big blockbusters or films with a wide marketing campaign.

    Murino actually had a nice part in the Masterpiece Theatre series Zen.

    The scene between Craig and Green on the train is by far my favorite Bond meets Bond girl of the entire Bond series. It's witty, intelligent, and very natural. Any number of lesser Bond actresses would have made a mess of this scene. Imagine Lois Chiles bringing her complete lack of inflection to this scene.

    My theory: eroticism is more taboo than pornography.

    Either way the MPAA always censors things that are very natural to humans like their sexualities and bodies. It just seems prudish and idiotic to me, especially when they'll let slurs and violence go very often. Not that I have a problem with the violence or language, I was just pointing out some of their illogical arguments.
