I thought they already casted the Bond girl.

I wish they would get legit actresses to play the Bond girls. Eva Green was good, Olga Kurylenko (?) was decent.

Not being mean, but do they speak English well? Like Jay Chow Learned English for the Green Hornet and he was great so I am hoping something like that

Why? Is Zhang Ziyi supposed to get passed around the Hollywood yard?

Tang Wei looks underage and the rest really dont impress that me that much even they look hot.
I rather see someone like Li Gong. She is classy and beautiful. No to teengirls.

AlexDeLarge87 - 10/19/2011, 10:10 AM
But it totally depends of what the role needs.

I'm surprised Zhang Ziyi is not on the list, she's a great Asian actress too.

Zhang Ziyi would be great too.

Couldn't really say for sure which one I would like the best. Of course, they're all attractive and MOST of them are actually hot, but then again, looks aren't everything! They would need to have true acting ability and a definite presence to impress me. Especially when they're paired up with somebody that is such a beast as Daniel Craig! lol But here's to hoping that they find SOMEBODY for the role, because they've been looking for awhiile and we have heard a lot of rumors. Just pick somebody good and be done with it! Make it happen!!! :D

yeah Eva Green was amazing, because her character wasn't the typical bond girl, meaning she wasn't just there to look good and let bond get his. she actually had a purpose in the plot and her character was actually interesting. they need to go back to that and not go back to the sex toy bond girls with innuendo names.

I love Shu Qi!
but i think it's Fan Bingbing, she's becoming more popular lately in America and elsewhere, so I think they'd hire her mostly. (:

this is awesome though,
Asian actresses are so beautiful <3 especially those on this list!

EarOne - 10/19/2011, 3:18 PM
from the above list, i guess Tang Wei's the right one, fo sho...

the second one looks too mixed. Shu Qi's already in Transporter. the rest are just not up to standard.

Shu Qi looked beautiful in New York, I Love You .. she had a small part but she was good!



Fan BingBing just fascinates me! I love her and her style (:



they'd both make awesome bond girls

@CherryBomb- Is that you? The real you.
No make-up necessary.:)

Shu Qi is adorable, beautiful-!, and has a hot bod too. She's also a pretty good actress. Her chemistry with a leading man (Transporter) was good, so she could probably play well off of Craig.
