You know, we’re not too sure that Casino Royale will ever be made. After all the piff-paff about trying to find an actor to play James Bond, finding a Bond Girl was supposed to be a cinch.
But that’s not the case. Nobody wants to be in the new James Bond film. Not Angelina Jolie, and now – if reports are to be believed – not Charlize Theron either. There’s just one month to go before Casino Royale starts filming, which hopefully gives the Bond producers enough time to find someone suitable before the unthinkable happens and they unveil Code McCutcheon.
After both Scarlett Johansson and Angelina Jolie turned down the chance of being the Bond Girl in Casino Royale, director Martin Campbell wanted to make Oscar winner Charlize Theron the new Bond Girl, with James Bond insiders saying that:
"She is glamorous but she is also a brilliant actress. It would be quite a coup to have an Oscar-winner as the female lead."
But now it’s being reported that Charlize Theron (DVDs) doesn’t want to be the
new Bond Girl either. Which leaves the James Bond producers in
something of a quandry. Casino Royale is set to start filming next
month for an Autumn 2006 release, and there’s nobody to star opposite
scrunch-faced Scouser Daniel Craig yet.
We think we know what the problem is – the James Bond producers are aiming for the wrong type of actress – everyone they have approached is recovering from bad reviews of dumb action films they’ve made this year. Scarlett Johansson doesn’t want a repeat of The Island and Charlize Theron doesn’t want a repeat of Aeon Flux. And nobody – nobody – wants a repeat of what happened to Halle Berry‘s career after being in a James Bond film.
So what’s the alternative? Who could possibly be the Bond Girl in Casino Royale? hecklerspray would like to make it clear that we have a blonde wig, sexy bra and two satsumas that we keep for situations such as these. We’re waiting for your call, Mr Bond Producer.

Bond Girl? Not Charlize – Cinematical
[story by Stuart Heritage]
Michael says
Halle Berry was atrocious in the Bond film….beyond tongue in cheek to a point that was maddening and made us embarrassed for her due to the dialogue she was forced to spew out, however, her big downfall was not
Bond….it was Catwoman….what was she thinking? At least, Jennifer Garner didnt have far to fall when she did Elektra…but from Oscar to Catwoman?? Halle, say Hi to Cuba Gooding Jr. for us in the “where are they now and what in God’s name were they thinking”???? bin.
