Now you know how I feel about Bellucci being Blofeld.
Sadly, you will have to deal with it.
Personally, if Blofeld HAS to be retconned to a female, I can think of NO other more perfect than Monica.
You seem so sure! do you have insider information of some sort?
I personally would feel weird having had so many fantasies about Blofeld for years, if you know what I mean.
I don't think we'll see Blofeld killed off in Spectre. He may disappear so that he's available to return in a later film if they wish, but I don't think he'll be killed off. Therefore, I don't see Bellucci being Blofeld. I am thrilled that she's in it, I think she'll be fantastic, but let's face it, you don't cast her because she reminds you of Laurence Olivier. She can hold her own in one film, but I don't see her potentially reprising that role in a later film or films and for that reason - among many - I don't believe she's Blofeld.
One thing is obvious. By calling it SPECTRE they are telling us, "Blofeld is there, but you don't know who Blofeld is...", which will keep us guessing for one full year. For instance, Madeleine Swan is a mysterious name. Is she a black swan or a white swan?
Very happy about the casting of Bellucci, I see her as sultry villain. That being said, sorry I don't her as Blofeld. Waltz is Blofeld, not because of the rumors, but because when you have a 2 time Oscar winner, he is not a decoy, he is the main player opposite DC.
Monica Bellucci features in the new edition of Vanity Fair. She says little (as you would expect) about her role in SPECTRE. Her character is Italian, she will be filming scenes in Italy, and starts work in January.

Long article from the Mail about the young Monica Bellucci. Features comment from her father Pasquale, and reveals never before seen pictures of her. Also, a segment about the Dolce & Gabbana dress she wore at last weeks Bond 24 Announcement.
Monica Bellucci: «Single non vuol dire sola»
Una donna matura non perde il suo charme, anzi. Parola dell'attrice, che a 50 anni ha ottenuto la parte di Bond Girl nel nuovo 007. E che, dopo la lunga storia con Vincent Cassel, ha fatto una piacevole scoperta
Catherine Deneuve, Isabelle Huppert, Charlotte Rampling still interpret sensual icons in advertising campaigns. And today 50-year-old women are genetically different from the 50-yer-old ladies from one or two generations ago. In other words, it’s finally clear a mature woman doesn’t loose her charm, she doesn’t stop being a female just because of her age. Actually she is female and sensual inasmuch adult. - Monica Bellucci for Vanity Fair Italy (December 2014)
Will there be friction on the set between Monica Bellucci and Lea Seydoux? Article from the Express (referring to The Sun newspaper). Last year, Monica announced that her 14 year marriage to French actor Vincent Cassel was over, and around the same time, he was filming steamy love scenes with Lea as they played the lead roles in Beauty and the Beast. The pair's relationship apparently seems to have blossomed off screen as they were frequently seen out on the town together.

Having seen Beauty I will say that there are NO steamy scenes in that movie so take it from me that article is pure horse manure and Cassel would probably find Léa too old for him as he likes them young,VERY young.Too bad we've got this sort of crap here . . .

Of course time has changed, society has changed, etc.
30 is the new 18, 40 is the new 21, 50 is the new 30, so on. In contrast, when it comes to decision making and independence, 16 is the new 18, 18 is the new 21, maybe 21 is the new 25. There are a few countries (even Scotland), they are allowed to vote at 16. Being in your 20's nowadays is still being in your teenage years and immature. That's why there a lot of 20-something and even early 30's playing a teenager, think Olivia Newton John in Grease, she was 30 when she played a teen.
In Bond related, so far Allison Doody from AVTAK was the youngest actress to play a Bond girl, she was 18. Although she was only a minor character and she did not fall in love with Bond.

That would have been borderline illegal for 57 year old Moore, right? )

Don't forget that 23-year old Lynn Holly Johnson from FYEO, she also played a teenager too.

Thankfully Roger only wanted to buy her an icecream, whereas he informed Allison Doody that he "liked a ride in the morning"

according Wikipedia she was born 11 November 1964 which makes her 20 in AVTAK which is more credible than the 18.
I really like her, but I find it plausible that she's been cheating even with that date - she looks more like in her end-20s (but very hot! :x ) in the movie.

Very creative wording - but true.
Wish that Moore had a lady of her calibre on his side (Exception C. Harris - I don't count M. Adams) in his later movies.

Ain't that the same dress as the Bond Press Release except slipped down on the shoulders? Wonder if it slips down even further inside the magazine

and that's André,Léa's long-term partner
There are certainly many women 50+ years of age who are stunning, and Ms. Bellucci is certainly one of them. (And by the way, so is my wife!)
Beautiful sentiment that proves romance isn't dead! I tip my hat to you, sir!
Thank you, my friend. -{ (Did I mention my wife was looking over my shoulder when I posted?
Shhhh!!!! No need to let Ms. BL in on our fantasies!
