fembuck | The future of Bond ... girls ...

Next Bond girl will be played by Latina actress

We may not yet know the title of the next James Bond movie, and we may not know what the story is about, but we now at least have an idea of who the next Bond Babe will be... even if her character might not have a name yet.

According to casting notices sent out this morning, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson are looking for a Latina actress in her late twenties, preferably with South American roots. Despite their plea that prospective talent not be worried about fitting the traditional Bond Girl look, since this is the "new" Bond series, she must be quite beautiful, able to handle what promises to be a physically demanding role, fluent in English and, last but most certainly not least, a great actress.

The next Bond film will begin filming in the United Kingdom and across Europe and South America under the direction of Marc Foster this coming January, with a six month production anticipated.

My votes:
1. Mia Maestro (Mmm, Mia. I miss Mia's stunning good looks making me drool and her mad actin skillz making me cry! Moar Mia!)
2. Jordana Brewster (um, this should speak for itself)
3. Eva Mendes (Beautiful and fierce, roar!)
4. Patricia Velasquez (Patricia is love)
5. Celina Font (saw her in a crappy movie, but she was luminous and a good actress)
6. Dania Ramirez (I pretty much think Dania should be in everything, lol. And with her last name and complexion you know it could happen!)
7. Alice Braga (I haven't actually seen anything with her, but I've heard she's good and she's related to Sonia Braga who I lurve)

... and I'm out of ideas (as much as I liked Dark Angel I refuse to consider Jessica Alba)

Suggestions?

though I love Michelle Rodriguez I'm not sure about her being a Bond girl... especially after watching half of that SWAT shite... *shakes head*

and! Jordana Brewster

also, heeeeeeey, that patricia is that girl from that movie with the annoying girl in it

adn damn... now I'm going on a Ziva David kick.. *sigh*

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q1h4BtyHYoQ&mode=related&search= Cote de Pablo rules! accent is fucking hot... may have rambled aboutt his once or thrice

Cote de Pablo is a possibility being from Chile. I've only seen a few episodes of NCIS but I like Ziva. I'm in love with the idea of Jordana Brewster as a Bond Girl (especially since the new franchise seems to be interested in giving the girls an actual character), and I'm actually ashamed I didn't put her on my list because I misread it as them having to be from South America instead of just having roots in South America. *is going to add to list*

Jordana's now my second favorite choice, number one is still Mia :D

*runs in circles*
YAY!
I help sorta! ^_^

and Ziva's a cutie ^_^
though, like Shego on Kim possible, I'd really hate to piss her off despite the hotness that she is when pissed off...

Eva Mendes

Nuff said.

Now that I have read the article again and see that the woman just has to be of South American descent instead of actually from South America, Eva is on the list. At number three though, I still like Mia Maestro and Jordana Brewster a bit more. *stares at the butt* Hmmm, if I stare at that picture a little moar though she might make it up to two ...

Speaking of butts, (and since I know you're interested) Barlena spank-smut. (http://teh-no.livejournal.com/507442.html#cutid1)

The only one that comes to my mind right now is Roselyn Sanchez, from Without a Trace: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0761052/. She could make a good Bond girl I think. But I totally agree with Mia Maestro and Jordana Brewter, I love them! Though they look kind alike, maybe that's why.
Also agree about Jessica Alba :p

Roselyn Sanchez would be a good choice as well (she was like the best thing about Rush Hour 2), I could see her being super glamorous and I think she's a pretty good actress as well. I heart is totally with Mia Maestro though, I think she's so great and I'd LOVE for her to get a role that would get her some mainstream attention.

of the lot, definitely mia...see the thing i think about bond girls, at least for me, they don't have to be just beautiful or fuckin' smokin' hot...they also have to have a certain...air about them i think...mia's got that extra something and i think eva *could* pull it off...but the others, i'm not too sure...jordana as much as i like her, i think she's a bit too pedestrian to be a bond chick...i think eva green was the last "real" bond girl to be in a bond movie since famke.

Mia's my dream choice as of the moment. She's a brilliant actress, beautiful, and can be totally badass, and when Mia cries I cry. Plus, I would love for her to have a mainstream smash under her belt so that I can see her in more things.

Of the name actresses I think Eva Mendes would probably be the best choice (that shot of her walking and smoking from the "We Own The Night" trailer makes me want to see her as a femme fatale so bad), and even though the memories of Ghost Rider are tainting my memory right now, she's gorgeous and she can act.

I'll give Jordana the benefit of the doubt though. I think she's amazing charismatic on screen, I find her to be ridiculously good looking, and I think with a good script that we could see some really good acting from her.

i think eva green was the last "real" bond girl to be in a bond movie since famke.

Totally. Eva and Famke ftw! I love that Famke wasn't even really the Bond Girl, Izabella Scorupco was, but Famke's the one everyone remembers because she pwned that movie. And my love for Eva and her glamor and classy and beauty is well known, and I could totally see Vesper having ruined all other women for Bond.

My votes are for Jordana Brewster, Mia Maestro and Dania Ramirez. Top pick is definitely Jordana. I finally saw DEBS a few weeks ago and seem to have fallen in love with her, lol.

I hear you on Jessica Alba. She's a very overrated actress.

Jordana seems to be kind of an underdog choice, but I think she would do a good job. Although the woman is amazingly charismatic on screen (which she would need acting opposite Craig), crazy pretty, and even though most of her projects lately haven't been that challenging, I'm convinced that she can act.

I hear you on Jessica Alba. She's a very overrated actress.

Alba's pretty. That's pretty much it. I don't really have anything against her, but I could not see her in a role that required her to actually emote instead of just looking cute.

even though most of her projects lately haven't been that challenging, I'm convinced that she can act.

She just hasn't had the chance to really prove her acting abilities. Not yet at least.

Alba's pretty. That's pretty much it. I don't really have anything against her, but I could not see her in a role that required her to actually emote instead of just looking cute.

I personally don't think she's capable of doing more than standing around, smiling, looking pretty, giving half witty remarks and acting in campy sci-fi, actiony type movies. She may one day surprise us though. Right. And satan will skate to work with a polar bear named Frank.

(deleted comment)

You nominated my girl Eva!! I would've too, obviously, seeing as I'm totally head-over-heels for her.

Yeah, Eva had to be on the list. You can't have a list of hot, talented actresses with South American roots without have teh Mendes on the list, lol.

But if I had to, I'd also vote for Patricia Velasquez or Roselyn Sanchez.

Roselyn Sanchez I could definitely see pulling it off as well. As for Patricia, she hasn't really done much to show of her acting skillz, but I'm convinced that she has them, and I know she can be badass from the Mummy Returns, and she also has an ability to project vulnerability really well that could be good for the role as well. I also wouldn't mind her career getting a boost, it's been forever since I've seen her in anything!

(Latinas are my weakness!!)

Are there people out there that don't have this weakness? If so I feel bad for them! *hugs Latinas*
