The New New Bond Girl

Well, it looks like another Bond girl has been chosen.  Will it pan out?  Only time will tell.  Actresses Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson have all turned down the role, possibly due to the ‘bond girl curse’.  It seems like any woman who plays the temptress of 007 is just waiting for her career to hit a dead end. 

The one and only Popsugar had some good thoughts on the matter:

I almost don’t care anymore, but it is Bond, and the chicks are the best part, so I had to keep up with the news. Page Six reports the big announcement has been made and sexy Eva Green is the winner. They report:

FRENCH stunner Eva Green is the new Bond Girl. The “Kingdom of Heaven” cutie will appear as 007 Daniel Craig’s arm candy in the upcoming “Casino Royale,” sources say. Green, who appeared nude in Bernardo Bertolucci’s steamy “The Dreamers,” beat out her closest rival, Olivia Wilde, who recently appeared on several episodes of “The O.C.” Green, 25, snapped up a role that was reportedly turned down by Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron and Thandie Newton. Sony chiefs greenlighted Green this week after flying her to Prague for a screen test with Craig.

No matter the lady, I’m sure we’re going to be delighted with big explosions, fancy & fast cars, John Cleese humor and all the fun we can handle in Casino Royale.
