James Bond is just no fun without a babe. Women are part of the Bond Formula just as much as gadgets and villains. But as of right now there’s apparently no babes in Bond land.
What makes matters worse is that there are also reportedly no bad guys (or women) in the land of 007 as well. But who really cares about the bad guys? Get some bald guy petting a cat and you’re set. It’s the women that make Bond great, so here’s a list of who I’d like to see (and not see) in the role:
- Jessica Simpson - She can make Enos give up Boss Hogg’s secrets in record time, but I’m not sure she’s a fit for British culture. Perhaps Bond can chase moonshiners? Whatever they do, they need to keep the Chicken of the Sea spokesperson out of any kind of ”scientist” role. She’s reportedly in the running, but a long shot for a good reason.
- Rachel McAdams - The Hot Chick has the body and the mind to take on Bond. She let her talent shine in the underrated Red Eye and could give Bond the lift that Halle Barry did. Speaking of Red Eye, would it be too far fetched to put Cillian “the new skinny creepy guy” Murphy in as the villain?
- Britney Spears - Unless she’s had a six month stay at Jenny Craig’s house, no thanks. She has all the negatives of Jessica Simpson without the bikini bod.
- Thandie Newton - She’s rumored to be a contender, but does anyone actually know who she is? I’ll take Rosario Dawson instead.
- Jill Hennessy - She’s not as young as the rest, but she could play a sexy doctor, scientist or lawyer much better than Denise Richards ever dreamt of.
- Peter Sarsgaard - No, not for the babe, for the bad guy. Never mind. I think Red Eye got me thinking about airplane movies.
Got a Bond babe you would love to see? Well don’t just sit there, comment!
