I swear the Scandanavian character is the one who was described as an 'agent with a personal history with Bond', which has been replaced with Lea Seydoux.
I can deal with it as long as Froggat and that Scott guy are kept far away from the movie.
Yeah she's famous but not in the way Waltz or Bautista or even Lea are, but there's no point moaning about it, I'll find out tomorrow.
She's ridiculously beautiful regardless of her age and it's a total injustice that she hasn't played a Bond girl yet. Furthermore what's most annoying for me is how the Bond casting people have always targeted younger woman, it's gotten so monotonous over the years. Why are younger women getting the monopoly on these roles when there are some great older actresses out there?
I think it's refreshing that they've decided to bring on an older sexier woman and in way break down some stereotypes and cliches in the progress. Bravo Mr. Mendes.
I have no idea why people on this forum are hitting out against Bellucci because she's too older. She's only 4 years older then Bond himself, Daniel Craig. Meanwhile Lea Seydoux is 17 years younger then Craig and no one has a problem with that. It's time James Bond stopped being a totally lecherous old creep preying on young women. Plus Bond would totally fuck an older woman.
Now a quick question for everyone in here. Just answer with "good" or "bad".
Will she play a "good" woman, or a "bad" woman? Will she be an ally, or a villain?
Maybe she will be a kind of Sylvia Trench girlfriend he sporadically sees...although Trench wasn't an agent
No. Baz's Tweet is vague, as was the original Deadline Hollywood story ("I've heard Monica Bellucci may be in the mix".) Given Bagimboye's track record, that suggests there's something to it. But it'd have been better if his Tweet was written more plainly.
I don't answer all the other "facts" that you write, because if you answer about PC then no debate can happen. But with figures, there's no PC.
btw, its eerie that monica looks like daniel's wife (rachel). maybe she was considered for the role, along with penelopy curz.
:D
In all seriousness, not too happy about this - her acting is....underwhelming. But we will see what Mendes can get out of her.
So you say half of the people,that go to the cinema are over 40? Interesting, and since you seem to have a fair idea of the movie business I won't dispute your claim. Still,when I go to the cinema the large share of folks seem to be teenager and dating couples ( and Germany is quite an aging country so we should have a larger share of older folks than most countries, save Nipon that is.)
Also the recipe for all out success would still be to cater to both,the young and the old.
So do I.
One thing that few can deny is that, for the most part, casting has been spot on during the Craig era. There must be a role in 24 that Monica suits.
I can't wait to hear some real news tomorrow
me too

Sorry to disappoint you but this has already been reported here at 2 different times.
Bagimboye is the one element that does give it some weight. Still, I find her a bit old and the fact that she has been rumored in the past makes me sceptical.
