    I listened to a song by Dua Lipa yesterday... she's alright... I am curious about what she will bring to the theme song.

    Recently, I did as well and feel that she couldn’t be more generic .

    Never heard anything of hers until yesterday and it was utter garbage. The breadth and variety of artists out there today and we're somehow getting rumors for folks like her and Ed Sheeran? Boggles my mind.

    I think it might be a Boyle decision (obviously he won’t be given Carte Blanche), where the previous two were EON’s call. He knows his music.

    Can I hope that just for life will be the title track ;)

    One thing I could tell, though. Remember when they were looking for a Swedish actress for that Swedish Bond girl they specifically specified? That later turned out to be the French actress Madeleine, whose nationality was presumably changed (she was fluent in French more than anything else, like the actress who portrayed her).

    So, RC7 is right on that front. One wouldn't put money on anything just yet.

    Where they? If so, they missed the opportunity of casting Alicia Vikander! :-O

    Hallelujah. I liked her in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. but she was terrible in Jason Bourne. Just my opinion.

    That only reminded me that I've yet to watch that film!

    That's because the Bond girl was initially supposed to be a Swedish CIA agent, if I recall correctly.
    No. The Swedish character and the CIA agent were two different characters.

    Yes, it would have made more sense for White's daughter to be Scandinavian.

    This is the 21st Century. It shouldn't matter what nationality an actress is to play a specific nationality.

    It just matters what nationality they self-identify as.

    Okay, but that's why they were screen-testing the actress from Borgen...

    I liked Vikander in UNCLE, but she was awful in anything else I've seen her in.

    The only movie I liked her in was Ex Machina.

    She's obviously beautiful but she's just dull.

    Overrated to the core. That's for sure.

    I think the same about her, Jennifer Lawrence and Scarlett Johansson. Keep all three of them away from 007!

    I actually like those two actresses, but I don't want them in a Bond film either.

    I respect your opinions. For me though, as Scarjo can't act, and JLaw's treatment of everyone and mouthing off is off putting to me.

    I like ScarJo as an actress a lot, but Jennifer Lawrence definitely needs to stay the hell away from 007. She’s problematic enough.

    Fair enough.

    Alicia Vikander would hardly be what I’d call inspired casting considering that she’s already appeared in both UNCLE and Bourne. I’m hoping for someone that I haven’t seen in another big franchise movie. Someone that makes her unique to Bond.

    This for sure. CR, QoS and SF had fantastic Bond Girl casting (except for Judy Dench). All unknowns at the time, and far more effective than the bigger names of SP.

    If Elena Satine does indeed get cast, you heard it here first. She liked this tweet. (It isn't spamming if you only tweet once!) :D

    Quite interesting perhaps she is one of eon and boyle's choices for the role.

    I like both, but I find Jennifer Lawrence's schtick, when not acting, intolerable.

    Her talk show "persona" you mean? It's really irritating.

    Yeah, her "look at me, i'm goofy waaaaa" thing.

    That got old a long time ago. Same can be said of other celebrities too, but she really needs to dial that down a notch or two.

    I look at Jennifer Lawrence as Hollywood's female Donald Trump. She doesn't know what she's talking about. She shoots her mouth off, and it's going to backfire on her, if it hasn't already. She claims to drop out of middle school, but in actuality she dropped out of high school because she was bored. Now she goes to schools to talk to kids about politics. No wonder my country is in so much trouble in the future.

    I would be happy with a relative unknown in Bond girl roles - just get the right one; lovely (but that comes in all varieties), with actual chemistry on screen.

    Oh and did somebody mention Jennifer Lopez? Or did I misread earlier posts? Because THAT would make me truly ill.
