Bond girl? Not Charlize
Filed under: Casting, Celebrities and Controversy, James Bond, Charlize Theron
Word is swirling that Charlize Theron has turned down the opportunity to be Daniel Craig's first Bond girl.
If this is true (and this
and this), it makes her the third major American actress to
reject the part (after Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson), and it leaves Casino Royale producers with just
one month to find an actress to make their late-January start date. So who's left? It seems clear that the producers
are dangerously overshooting the mark here. Why would actresses like Johansson, Jolie and Theron, all of which can pout
their way into any slice of Oscar bait's above-the-title lead. Who would be on your list?

I'd like to see Jennifer Connelly make another decent movie. We know she can act and she's pretty freakin' gorgeous to boot. Or, if you will, a poor-man's Jennifer; Eva Green.

Theron isn't American; she's South African. And as a lady of the Commonwealth, she's an ideal target acquisition for Commander Bond...perhaps maybe in Brosnan's return to the role following the box office failure of this outing.

God please, Do not let Jessica Simpson be the next Bond Girl. I would rather see Jennifer Lopez. At least she can act. But then again that is not saying much.
My vote is Kate Beckinsale. She is a great actress. She is smoking hot and can kick some ass.
