i think if actresses like charlize theron and others (dont remember names but i think angelina jolie was in there not sure) refused the offer, must be because james bond 007 movies arent what they were before.
Yeah, they may also refuse the roll because a lot of female actresses would prefer not to be cast as 'the girl' in any movie...I just hope this new one is better than Denise Richards, because although she's gorgeous, she was so shit.
There certainly have been hotter Bond girls in the past, but there have also been uglier ones. Charlize would be have been great.
When I first heard this news and the announcement of Daniel Craig I hoped it was more about taking Bond in a new direction because frankly the most recent one was shit.. The possibility that people have been turned down the roles because the last movie was so weak never crossed my mind.
Daniel Craig is a good actor but a lot is resting on him now. He needs to pull out a performance with a bit more depth than he did in Layer Cake. I'd be shitting myself.
Personally I love Bond, and I think Goldeneye was one of the best movies of the 1990s. The mix done by Moby is the best outing of the Bond Theme.
