A female baddie would be a really interesting idea. Has there ever been a female Bond nemesis (as in, running the whole gig, not just a henchwoman)- I can't think of any. It'd make an interesting premise if Bond wooed some chick, only to find out this was actually part of her bigger plan.
Sophie Marceau was that in whichever Brosnan one it was - World is Not Enough? She shared duties with Robert Carlyle, but she was the one calling the shots. That might be a spoiler, but it was a cack film, so it doesn't really matter.
Wasn't she sharing the evil duties with Carlyle though? He wasn't working for her but alongside her? Plus he got the big showdown at the end, long after she'd been disposed of. Whichever, we definitely need more memorable female baddies in Bond films. |

Well, she's not really to my taste either but since they've given Denise Richards the gig in the past, I wouldn't be so hasty to write off Fox.
Fills me with dread to suggest it, but IKEA Knightley could be another possible.
A couple more that spring to mind: Emily Blunt or Jennifer Lawrence.
Um, I think it is generally agreed that Richards was the #1 WORST Bond Girl ever. Now, you wouldn't want her to lose that title, would you?
On the other hand, I'm liking more and more the idea of some Israeli girl snatching away this plumb part.
Take a look at:
Moran Atias
Gal Gadot
Noa Tishby
Of course, there's also Bar Refaeli who has a better chance at the part, after having hooked up with DiCaprio.
Come on, you tell me, any actress who learned the real "Krav Maga"* could be a great Bond Girl - especially since there's no better place to have intrigue in the world these days than right at my doorstep.
(*Hell, if my daughter didn't have another 2+ years in the army, she could do it! She's had two courses of it so far, and when she does Officer's Training, she'll get the third, most advanced one.)

Moran Atias
Gal Gadot
Noa Tishby
Bar Refaeli

Rosa Klebb in From Russia With Love. Senior KGB officers decided to get rid of Bond, then handed the whole thing over to her. |

| How about Christian Bale as the nemesis? I think he'd do a cracking job. Or Zeljko Ivanek |

Female Villan I think Joan Allen has the hard edge enough to battle with craggy Craig.
Male villan for a more dramatic flair maybe Christoph Waltz. |

Bond should punch some teenage kids, they're probably the biggest menace of todays society.
The plot should go something like: bunch of adults try some evil scheme, Bond fights them of, then in the last movie third realizing that the sadistic teens are behind everything.
Who's a prominent teen actor these days to play it, Culkin, Edward Furlong?

Bale? I don't think he's that good of an actor, to tell the truth. But Ivanek - that's a great idea! In both "Big Love" and in "Heroes" his characters were very creepy guys. |

The title of the next movie has been announced: Skyfall.
It's an unusual title, as it's not related to any Bond book. Let's just hope the film is better than the last one.
It would be hard for Mendes to make it worse, but you never know.
Just looking at the cast, I'm not sure about how Finney or Fiennes will work, but Bardem is a good choice if he's playing the bad guy (although one could say it is type casting).
I'm certain Naomi Harris will make a very good Bond girl - and it doesn't matter if she's a good or bad, since I doubt she would have taken any part that didn't have a strong character. I know nothing about B�r�nice Marlohe, so I hope she can act and not just look good on screen. If she's the good Bond girl, they had best not make her into some shrinking violet with "Oh, James" lines or I swear I'll throw up in the theater.
Unfortunately, this is totally possible with screenwriters from the two previous films Daniel Craig - Pervis and Wade - working on this script as well.
