That’s a relief. When news broke about 21-year-old British actress Gemma Arterton being hired as the new “Bond babe” in the still-unnamed 22nd James Bond film (the sequel to 2006’s Casino Royale), our immediate reaction was that this wouldn’t be the end of the story. Bond flicks usually feature more than one curvaceous Bond girl, and while Arterton’s unquestionably cute, she just doesn’t quite pack the sexual punch necessary to fill the stiletto heels of predecessors Eva Green, Halle Berry, and Sophie Marceau.
So it’s with a sly smile of relief that we receive news about Ukrainian model-actress Olga Kurylenko, 28, being recruited to help keep Bond (Daniel Craig) busy in the next movie (scheduled for release in November of this year). Inevitably, the choice of Kurylenko--who told the UK tabloid The Sun last fall that she’s fine doing raunchy bondage scenes--has set off another round of “who’s the sexiest Bond babe” chatter (the media not being all that imaginative), with the skin-loving Sun leading the debate. If you would like to put in your two cents--or simply revisit the Bond series’ line-up of cinematic vixens, click here.
If it had been up to us, we’d have found some way to resurrect the breathtaking Vesper Lynd (Green). Heck, if soap operas can bring back the dead, why not Bond films?
