I think Jessica Rose Brown-Findlay is a Bond girl waiting to happen! But what do you think of her age? Fine or too Bibi Dahl? The rule of thumb is half your age plus eight, a test she fails (or rather Craig fails it ) ) My opinion is that some 25 year olds look like teens and others look like women. Would you like one more picture just for the sake of it? ;%
Jessica Alba might be a bit of a left field idea, but she does look good.
Good looking - absolutely. Bond Girl material - she seems to be a mediocre actress as best, so I say no. I think you need an actress with a bit more presence to match up with Craig. (That's why Eva Green has been Craig's best Bond Girl to date).
Jessica Alba has a talent for comedy and action, plus she obviously is smokin' hot. But she is yesterday's news. 10-15 years ago she was fresh talent, but now she is more often in the tabloids than in the movies. What Bond needs is someone whom they haven't seen before, at least in the cinema.

I agree about Eva Green. She and Craig had a chemistry that made CR a special movie. I've always thought EON should cast Rachel Weisz as Bond's love interest. She's a heckuva actress and she and Craig should be interesting together on screen.
And she's English! Why doesn't EON just go ahead and cast her?
Of course you must know that she's Craig's missus. (It's Penelope Cruz nepotism speculation all over again!)

When it comes to the Bond franchise, people will always find something to whine about. Look at me! I'm whining that they won't cast Rachel Weisz!
If they did cast her 80% of ilmgoers wouldn't know/care that she's married to Craig 19% will think it's cool and 1% will complain (these are scientificly derived statistics). The 1% are the people who don't like the reboot or Craig and there's no pleasing them.
You forgot about me! I may be a group of my own, or there may be more of us
I think Weisz is too much of a established movie star. They should cast actresses people aren't used to seing in the cinemas. The best Bond actresses have been TV stars or relatively unknown movie actresses. Just look at the more recent times: Bérénice Marlohe, Eva Green and Izabella Scorupco were good. Terri Hatcher, Halle Berry and Denise Richards - not so good .....
Halle Berry, can't figure out why she gave a below par performance but
Terri Hatcher and Denise Richards, IMHO are TV actresses, and Eon were
Scrapping the bottom of the barrel getting them. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh
but they are very, very light weight actresses.
Where as R Weisz is a good actress with a great line of films behind her. -{

" mediocre actress " indeed ) haven't you seen Into the blue !
I did not see her acting in that movie -but her various hotpants and bikini tops and must confess that I liked them all on her ;% *
Even in my age, I can feel a bit of excitement ) )
*if that qualifies for James Bond material I am all for it!

True, Weisz is a much better actress than Denise Richards or Teri Hatcher combined. I won't really mind if she is cast, but I think the casting for Bond movies is at it's best when they show us new talent.

and only in the interest of AJB. )
I can see your point and do agree that sometimes new talent is
better, but I don't have a problem with casting a more experienced
actress. -{

To answer more seriously: imagine that for the first time in your lifetime it's fairly likely that an actress from your country is cast as a Bond girl. How would you react? :v
Second, I'm not talking of acting experience. Ingrid Bolsø Bordal's acting experience is not that bad compared to Weisz's (not that I belive that they are up for the same part, but ...)I'm talking of public profile. They could have cast a famous British actor to play Le Chifre, but wasn't it a nice surprice top see Mads Mikkelsen up there on the screen?

But that Jessica Brown-Findlay... Wow! ;%
Those new Aston convertibles are a lot smaller in real life than you'd think, eh?
new Bond as, her name Jessica Rose Brown-Findlay, would
take up too much screen !

It has to be up there with The Godfather & One flew over the cockoo's nest.
Hmmmm...........don't know how I missed the boat on Ms. Alba!

Of course people know that...I think that's why most would be interested to see it happen...she's also a good actress - which helps

Appreciate it.
