    They are too famous and Kidman and Zeta-Jones too old now.
  • I made a list containing some famous names :

    - Olivia Wilde
    - Jennifer Morisson
    - Carey Mulligan
    - Keira Knightley
    - Penelope Cruz
    - Catherine Zeta-Jones
    - Scarlett Johansson
    - Nicole Kidman
    - Natalie Portman
    - Eva Mendes
    - Marie Gillain
    - Hilary Swank
    - Jessica Biel
    - Julianne Moore
    - Kate Beckinsale
    - Gina Carano
    ...I already suggested Poppy Montgomerry earlier (from "Unforgettable")

    Gina Carano might be good as a cia operative kinda like Holly Goodhead in moonraker. She could have some good action scenes given her MMA background.

    After seeing 'Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela' I'd recommend Deepika Padukone.

    She's increadably beautiful, unknown in the west (but as I understand it just about the best Bollywood has to offer right now) and she just shines onscreen!

    I have just removed some posts here. The suggested actresses that these relate to I felt were inappropriate, as I am sure the author realised himself.

    Please keep the suggestions coming, but only serious, and suitably appropriate ones.

    I meant to point out how ridiculously young most of the suggested actors were, especially in comparison to Craig.

    I wouldn't mind someone older there are some very attractive older women who would be fine as a bond girl the Penlope Cruz rumor for example

    Or Berenice Bejo, Hayley Atwell, Emily Blunt, Rosario Dawson, Rachel McAdams, Rashida Jones... At least in their thirties.

    In 2011 i sugest Felicity Jones http://www.mi6community.com/index.php?p=/discussion/941/who-should-be-a-bond-girl/p1 and i think it time to repeat this sugestion, Felicity Jones http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0428065/ is seen at Independent Film Awards 2013 with one of the MGM bosses.

    http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3230453760/rg655464960

    Some people those days mabey will say Felicity Jones is Uk version of Jennifer Lawrence.

    I think a return of Rosamund Pike would be good, but I don't think they would go down the Maud Adams route again

    How about Keisha Castle Hughes?? She may be young, but I think she'd make for an interesting character

    Way too young for Craig-Bond. Maybe for his successor.

    Van houten would get naked. She's naked in almost every film I've seen her in. hmmm maybe that's why I seem to have seen a lot of her films.

    I'd probably have to agree on that one. In keeping with the Down Under theme, Rose Byrne comes to mind for me

    Something I noticed: so far during the Craig era there was mostly one Brit and one non Brit for Bond girls per movie. Except in CR, but even then Eva Green is playing a Brit. So my bet for Bond 24:one British actress and one non Brit.

    Always be a mis understanding there can't be more then 2-3 woman in the movie. Mathis girldfriend be example of extra.

    Keisha Castle Hughes be a good sugestion for small part Bond girl based she is now 23 years old. She can play a victem or employer of Quantum water thing. Besides the 2 actres for bigger parts and i don't mind if this be 2 British as said before i whant besides the return of Olga Kurylenko a part for Andrea Riseborough. Of course it be nice to have have one or two non British actres too.

    With M being a man again, with for example 4 actress and 2 of them British we have 5 actress in total with Eve and 3 of them British. With Fienes, Wishaw, Daniel Craig, Kinnear, Christensen and Wight we have 7 britsh actors, 1 American, 2 none british chacters and 1 Danish. If Bond go to India or China then it be good if those 2 none british chacters having a connection with those country's.

    Biggest changle be to find original casting idea's then only to young people and Bristish/European.

    I'm certainly not one for the recurring actor/actress thing. I am particularly bugged by the return of Maud Adams and Joe Don Baker in different roles.

    With that said...

    I would LOVE to have Rosamund Pike back! She was one of the most beautiful Bond girls to have ever graced the big screen and she was wasted in DAD.
  • Byrne can be a great ally on the field. Her beauty isn't that eye-catching/glamorous. Just like in X-Men.

    Pike's return will be greatly appreciated, but what role will she play? Not another villain accomplice.

    I don't like too many Bond girls.. Just 1 ally and another complex, pro-villain seductress. I prefer to see Bond girls w interesting characters, not just quantity of booties. Don't get me wrong; the 2 Bond girls still NEED to be hot-- style and substance.

    Will make any of those 3 girls a change..

    Tatiana Maslany http://www.hitfix.com/galleries/overlay/breakout-stars-from-2013-who-will-be-even-bigger-in-2014/10

    Breakout project of 2013: "Orphan Black"
    What to look forward to in 2014: Season two of this cult breakout series debuts April 19, and we're pretty sure more clone hijinks will be in the offing. But Maslany (who also had a guest spot on "Parks and Recreation" this year) is likely to be getting more attention for her exceptional work -- playing seven characters in one series has actually earned her a Golden Globe nomination. Not bad for a sci-fi basic cable series.

    Imdb.com http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1137209/

    Margot Robbie http://www.hitfix.com/galleries/overlay/breakout-stars-from-2013-who-will-be-even-bigger-in-2014/14

    Breakout project of 2013: The 23 year-old blonde from Down Under, who cut her teeth on long-running Australian soap "Neighbors" (an institution whose graduates range from Guy Pearce to Kylie Minogue), made a brief impression in Richard Curtis's time-travel romcom "About Time." Her real arrival, however, came shortly afterwards in Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street," in which she plays Leonardo DiCaprio's fuming trophy wife -- in a film so male-ruled that it has attracted charges of misogyny in some quarters, hers is the most flavorful female character, and her performance has drawn comparisons to Sharon Stone's Oscar-nominated work in "Casino."
    What to look forward to in 2014: Well, the talk about "The Wolf of Wall Street" is only getting started, but once that dies down, we can look ahead to her sparring with Will Smith -- they play lovers in the crime comedy "Focus." On the prestige front, she has a supporting role in WWII romance "Suite Francaise," with Michelle Williams and Matthias Schoenaerts, plus crime drama "Violent Talent" with Garrett Hedlund.

    Imdb.com http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3053338/

    Stassi Schroeder http://www.hitfix.com/galleries/overlay/breakout-stars-from-2013-who-will-be-even-bigger-in-2014/15

    Breakout project of 2013: Stassi became synonymous with psycho mean girl (with a soft spot for bad boys who tattoo her name on their arms, a la Jax) on "Vanderpump Rules."
    What to look forward to in 2014: Season Two is in full swing right now, and Stassi and Jax's bickering has spawned "VanderDolls Rules," in which the audio from the duo is used as dolls act out their relationship. You know you've arrived when you get doll reenactments.

    I don't care how the producers do it but they need to get this done.

    Cast Ruth Wilson!

    As Alice Morgan in Luther, especially in season 1, I was turned in instantly by the combination if her looks but more so the personality and disposition of the character.

    Was her character the psycho murderer? If so, I remember her. I suppose attractive, but I would really rather not have her in a Bond film.

    Rose Byrne would be fine. I'd like a blonde for a change, really; it's been awhile (since Pike). I prefer not to have repeat actors (aside from the semi regulars like Felix) but I wouldn't mind Rosamund coming back. It's nice, though, when Bond films show new talent, or not that widely known talent, someone who really is lovely and talented (Bereniece is a good case in point, so is Isabella Scorupco; I never spell her name right ...).

  • @4EverBonded, we're definitely overdue for a blonde Bond girl (Blonde girl? Sorry). Kara was the last main one and that was over 25 years ago, and Frost was over decade ago. Kate Winslet (even if she'd be the oldest Bond girl and is Sam Mendes' ex-wife) or Yvonne Strahovski would be the most obvious choices, even though that makes it rather unlikely for them to actually be chosen.
  • edited January 2014 Posts: 14,798
    Is Kate Winsley a natural blonde? I don't think she'd be right anyway, too much the ex-wife of Mendes and if I am not mistaken, their divorce was acrimonious. But even regardless of this, she has a sort of "common" beauty that I am not sure is quite right for a Bond girl. Bond girls, especially blonde ones, have generally something exotic about them, even the English roses.

    And don't get me wrong, Winslet is an amazing actress.
  • edited January 2014 Posts: 316
    I love Winslet and think she's an amazing actress, but something about her in a Bond film doesn't feel right to me.

    I also think a good choice, if a bit out-in-left-field, would be Idina Menzel
    idina_menzel_web.jpg
    At 41, she'd be the oldest Bond girl of all time and the first American since Jinx. However, she is an amazing stage actress who hasn't done much film, and her character would have endless possibilities.
    I think she could make a her character one of the few who deserves the title of "Bond lady"

    @4EverBonded, yes, that's her. I think she has an interesting look.

    Good heavens, Idina looks a lot like Penelope Cruz! Lovely.
    I do want a blonde (I am sure that is not high on the director and producers' lists) but I don't know who would fit these days, offhand.

    Victoria Smurfit is blond and quite stunning. She's currently starring in the tv show Dracula but she'll be 40 this year. I think these days it's a joke for EoN to not cast a perfectly beautiful, sexually primed, stunning actress as Bond's leading lady just because she's over 36.
