The tradition of French actresses becoming Bond girls continues in SPECTRE – the 24th 007 film.

Producers revealed Lea Seydoux will play Madeline Swann opposite Daniel Craig – back as Bond for the fourth time.

Berenice Marlohe played Severine in the Skyfall.

Claudine Auger was Domino with Sean Connery  in Thunderball.

Carole Bouquet was Melina Havelock in For Your Eyes Only starring Roger Moore

Sophie Marceau was Elektra King in The World Is Not Enough starring Pierce Brosnan.

This marks 3 French actresses for Craig: Eva Green was Vesper in Casino Royale, Marlohe in Skyfall and now Seydoux in SPECTRE. Continue reading JAMES BOND GIRLS The French Connection II

  The new James Bond girl of Skyfall has not even hit the big screen yet but she’s already in the top 10 of sexiest Bond girls. Berenice Marlohe continues the legacy of French actresses on 007 movies as a mysterious character named Severine. She was number 7.

  FHM has been ranking sexiest women in the world and MI6.com compiled the top 100 lists for Bond girls, crunched the points and have unveiled this rundown of sexiest Bond girl rankings:

  My favorite villainess Xenia Onnatop of Goldeneye Famke Janssen was 13. Janssen is also famous as Jean Grey in the X-Men movies.

  Halle Berry (Jinx from Die Another Day and Storm from the X-Men movies) was number one with 1,499 points.

A huge thanks to the number crunchers  at MI6.com who compiled this master list.

 

New James Bond Women Talk “Skyfall” in Videos

  Daniel Craig’s 007 will have double the fun with two gorgeous Bond women in Skyfall. Berenice Marlohe plays Severine. Producers have kept her character top secret so far. Although I have my theory after a recent interview in which the French actress revealed which previous Bond girl inspired her. In a videoblog on 007.com Marlohe discussed being introduced as the latest member of the famous cinema sorority.

Naomie Harris (28 Days Later) plays Eve and reveals the weapons training she’s undergoing to play the MI6 field agent.

  The stunning actresses of the next James Bond movie Skyfall were a big attraction on the Red Carpet in London. Naomie Harris and Berenice Marlohe presented an award together on the BAFTA ceremony.

 Harris plays a MI6 agent named Eve. Marlohe plays a mystery woman named Severine. Dame Judi Dench (M) and Ralph Fiennes (also starring in Skyfall)attended the British Films awards ceremony.

New James Bond Girl, Return of the Sexy Surname?

  The Daniel Craig James Bond movies have been pretty serious with no sexual themed surnames for his leading ladies. The series that’s given the world Pussy Galore, Octopussy, Kissy Suzuki, Plenty O’Toole, Xenia Onnatop, and Holly Goodhead, that’s Dr. Holly Goodhead – may finally be loosening up and have little fun.

 Naomie Harris – who is not playing the new Miss Moneypenny – plays an MI6 field agent named Eve in Skyfall. Harris was questioned about the secrecy of her character’s surname in an interview with STV:

“Will her name make people laugh? Um, yes. Yes, I suppose it will.”
  Naomie Harris discussed how she prepared for the physical challenges of the role.
  “Eve sees herself as Bond’s equal and she’s very active. I get to do lots of fighting and driving and stunt work and I’ve been training on the gun range most days. It’s been a lot of hard work. My body’s completely changed. I’ve got muscles where I never knew it was possible to have muscles, which is all very exciting. I’m very happy about that.”

  I loved Naomie Harris as Selina in Danny Boyle’s neo-zombie film 28 Days Later. Harris proved she can handle herself with a butcher knife in that flick.

  Back to Bond girl names – Gemma Arterton played Agent Fields in Quantum of Solace (she deserved more screen time!) Agent Fields was given the first name of Strawberry in the film credits as a gag.   

 Thanks to MI6 for the story.
