Good idea

Ultimate James Bond Fan Blog did not think it was likely but I thought Flea-readers should nonetheless be alerted to the possibility of a Carice van Houten Bond Girl appearance. I mean, just, wow.

Carice van Houten, 31 year old Dutch actress, is the latest name tossed on the Bond Girl fire. As usual, it’s sourced only in a Dutch newspaper, which is clearly using this “rumor” to put the actress’s face on the radar. Keep in mind that no casting will be done without more of a script.

Now it turns out Gemma Arterton has the job (via Agent Bedhead). She is quite lovely too, of course, and I note her RADA profile indicates a BASSC Certificate in Stage Combat (Distinction). This should come in handy.

I laughed out loud when reading the closing line of the Gemma Atherton link. "She has the modern look" -- illustrated with pics of Gemma with 1920s bob haircut, and a 60s version of the bob. Modern, huh?

Sorry, Gemma Arterton... That said I think she's a nice-looking lady and hope that she has the acting chops to make this Bond venture worthwhile. Let us have no more nuclear scientist bubbleheads.
