Bond-related news

[jennyk]

The BBC is reporting numerous Bond-related casting news. (However, little of the plot of the next movie is being revealed.)

(Warning - the link is spoilerish if you haven't seen "Casino Royale.")

Ukranian actress/model Olga Kurylenko will play "Camille," while Gemma Arterton will play "Fields."

I'm optimistic about the movie, despite (or maybe because of) the fact that I don't know who any of the actors are. What do you think?

Also, since we were talking about it in another thread, who is your favorite Bond and why? What's your favorite Bond film?

"Quantum of Solace"...? I haven't been this horrified by the announced installment title of a beloved franchise since "Attack of the Clones".

My favorite Bond is Pierce Brosnan, but since Roger Moore was the first Bond I ever saw (and played the secret agent during my formative years) he will always spring to mind when I think of 007.

Connery was good, but most people always pick him as the "best" simply because he originated the role (which they would admit if honest).

Lazenby was a joke, who landed the role solely for being "pretty".

Dalton was a caretaker Bond.

Craig did an okay job, but played the role just a bit too darkly for my taste.

Watch Goldfinger again, man. Connery is the best because he was friggin' cool as they come.

And HOT...for an older fella!

The golf scene from Goldfinger is overflowing with cool.

Just check the style, man. Whether its the knickers that Goldfinger is sporting, or the chapeau on Mr. Bond, the class and style of the movie is at the top of the Bond mountain.

I agree. She has to be one of the best. Some were just dog meat.

Holly Goodhead and Pussy Galore are the best names, but I always had a soft spot for Jane Seymore.

...but I always had a soft spot for Jane Seymore.

That's because she's genuinely beautiful.

LOL...I've been warned.

The only other Bond girl that is as striking is Sophie Marceau. The rest were pretty trashy.
