Feb 16 2006Eva Green is the new Bond girl
French actress Eva Green is the new Bond Girl. Green, 25, who previously acted in Kingdom of Heaven, will star as 007's arm candy in the upcoming Casino Royale. She beat out her closest rival, Olivia Wilde, who recently appeared on several episodes of "The O.C." The role was reportedly turned down by Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron and Thandie Newton. Sony chiefs greenlighted Green this week after flying her to Prague for a screen test with Craig.
Great, fantastic. I've always wanted to watch a James Bond movie starring people I've never head of before. This is like watching The Wizard of Oz starring Carrot Top and the deaf lady from the community theatre who smells like old tacos and screams at the telephone. At least Eva Green is hot. Kinda. But if I wanted to spend $10 in the hopes that a semi-attractive girl will maybe get almost naked, I would've never left high school.

never 'head' of before...lol
Does anyone have any other pics of her?
Angelina should have done it...sigh*

DUDE, Eva Green is the hottest chick on the planet! Haven't you seen "the dreamers"? It should have been called, "The Creamers"!
3. parisdepaul - February 16, 2006 10:14 AM
Oooh man, MEN are really going to like her... to get a sneak preview of Eva Green's "acting", you must checkout "DREAMERS" That movie is nuts, but I love it. Think of it as a love triangle between her, her BROTHER and an American guy set in Paris.
4. johnnylaw - February 16, 2006 10:20 AM
oh yeah, eva is hot. i loved her in 'the dreamers' nothing like keepin it in the family. you know, like her and her brother were in love with each other in that movie? you know.
5. BrianMolko - February 16, 2006 10:23 AM
Mmmm she's hot, much better than fish lipped angelina.
6. ElFurbe - February 16, 2006 10:29 AM
Nonsense. Bond girls never used to be uber-high-profile actresses. I prefer it when my Bond girls are new faces. I can't think of worse performances as Bond girls than Denise Richards and Halle Berry.
7. wee bull - February 16, 2006 10:37 AM
Lame jokes about a gay song, yet another fucking Paris Hilton non-story, and insulting an actress purely becuase you've never heard of her?
Shame on you Superficial, you're so much better than this.
8. LaydeeBug - February 16, 2006 10:41 AM
Well, I saw her on the IMDB, and well....aside from the clown red lipstick that she borrowed from Tommy Lee, and the wide smile she borrowed from Anne Hathaway, I really can only say she has pretty blue eyes. Eh.
The Superfish pic is like the best pic I've seen. But if she's French, well, that means she probably is a good actress cuz the US is sorely lacking these days. (Don't shoot me guys)
9. LaydeeBug - February 16, 2006 10:43 AM
I just read the other posts. DREAMERS, huh? Gotta check that out. Pictures are really not very descriptive anyway.
10. parisdepaul - February 16, 2006 10:43 AM
I knew those eyes were familiar, and then it came to me ... the DREAMERS. She is an awesome actress, you guys will like her!
11. debs - February 16, 2006 10:50 AM
Oh great. Another teen-turned-20something-actress. Can't Hollywood just keep using the same ones over and over? Oh wait, what am I saying? Hollywood men trade them like Pokemon cards.
12. PapaHotNuts - February 16, 2006 10:53 AM
In the pic above, she resembles an attractive vampire. Watch your neck James, watch your neck.
13. Michael1 - February 16, 2006 10:54 AM
Let's be honest. It's not her acting we like.
She a so-so actress but a beautiful woman.

I'd hit that....
16. LaydeeBug - February 16, 2006 11:04 AM
DAMN, I can't see the pic's. Shoot (stamps foot)
17. Baroness - February 16, 2006 11:36 AM
Eva Green is a very pretty girl, and she's half-Swedish so I'm proud!
I'm glad they went for someone relatively uknown, too.
Scarlett Johanssen, however gorgeous, would have been a joke.
18. ESQ - February 16, 2006 11:43 AM
She reminds me of Avril Lavigne and that is not a bad thing. Superficial I do agree with what you said, "I've always wanted to watch a James Bond movie starring people I've never head of before." Movies like that I just turn away from.
19. rachel - February 16, 2006 11:44 AM
#13 - that movie was just on HBO the other night. I turned it on right in the middle of that bathroom scene. This girl is butt ugly! Her boobs w/ big huge nipples sag down to her feet & she totally needs to trim her beard down there - she's nasty! And, the movie was really stupid too.
20. LaydeeBug - February 16, 2006 11:49 AM
Eww, Rachel, you just gave me a non-woody, if that's possible, considering I don't have a Lincoln Log....wait, lemme check....Nope!
Anyway, you just grossed me out. EVERYBODY should trim their hedges.
21. rick mcginnis - February 16, 2006 11:51 AM
Why do some of the posters here too often give the impression of never actually having seen a real, live, non-porn-related naked female in their lives, even if they use female names when they post? Sorry - icky 1996 chatroom vibe going on here, folks.
22. Juliette - February 16, 2006 11:53 AM
Those are some gross huge nipples...she definitely also needs to invest in a wax!
23. rachel - February 16, 2006 12:04 PM
#21 - you can say what you want but I bet she's hiding a 3rd guy in that bush of hers. Plus, the movie was no different than a porn.
24. tits_on_snack - February 16, 2006 12:06 PM
Never seen her in anything, never seen "Dreamers", the only other picture i've ever seen of her is this one, and I'm hoping this is just a really bad picture and that she has since learned how to brush her teeth and pluck her eyebrows:

25. LaydeeBug - February 16, 2006 12:18 PM
Tits, you made me laugh.
You know those French, they love their Gitanes. Cereally, if you're gonna smoke, invest in some Crest White Strips. And red lipstick just accentuates the yellow toothies.
26. Tracie - February 16, 2006 12:21 PM
Yes, her nips are big, but I give her credit for being 100% natural. Her bush isn't half the size of Emily Mortimer's in "Lovely & Amazing"...now that was shocking.
She's not outrageously beautiful, but not dog-ugly either.

Yeah you're right the French are usually known for their impeccable grooming. She doesn't even know how to use a hairbrush.
28. rachel - February 16, 2006 12:24 PM
This link has absolutely nothing to do with Eva Green (or Paris, Britney, or Lindsay) but it's too funny I had to share

29. Bob Denver - February 16, 2006 12:29 PM
I guess they used the Mia Kirshner lookalike because the real Mia Kirshner turned them down.
30. Doug - February 16, 2006 12:32 PM
I hope this Eva Green girl is a lot hotter in real life than in any of the photos I've seen of her . . . as it stands now, she does absolutely nothing for me.
31. jugsgirl - February 16, 2006 12:38 PM
I want the More Cowbell chick to be the next Bond Girl !
32. LaydeeBug - February 16, 2006 12:49 PM
Tracie, first pic very nice, but second pic, JEZUS CHRIST. Ewww. The hair color is nice, just not on her.
33. Michael1 - February 16, 2006 12:51 PM
i agree 100% #21... it's hilarious. someof these people (boys posting as chicks, etc) prefer online porn, and their plastic blow up dolls (no hair and piointy little pre-pube nipples) to real women.
Give 'em a year or five or ten -- they'll get a clue.
Eva Green hasn't been marketed yet -- put her in the "right" scenarios, and on the "right" magazine covers with a push up bra and she'll be... "smokin". ROTFLMAO
34. Aliceis_obsessed - February 16, 2006 1:15 PM
She is beautiful lovely breast .... disturbingly large nipples though
35. CurrinGirl - February 16, 2006 1:42 PM
Why not just call it "James Bond: The B Sides"
36. innit - February 16, 2006 1:42 PM
How refreshing to see a regular, non-surgically altered female body. Seriously.
37. HollyJ - February 16, 2006 1:57 PM
She's a great singer too.

The Bond franchise as we know it is officially through
39. PKClover - February 16, 2006 2:07 PM
I think it's better when they cast a relative unknown into the franchise. Being a Bond girl catapults you in your career, not the other way around. Angelina and Halle were already big stars. And come one, the film with Dennis Richards just didn't work for me. Unknowns leave an element of intrigue and fascination. Good casting I say!
40. benjamin01 - February 16, 2006 2:16 PM
Good casting choice! pretty face, great, non-plasticine body... hard to tell if the lights are on, but lets face it -- this is a James Bind chick, not Steve Hawking's soul mate.
Unless she has a voice like Herve Villechaize, she'll be great.
41. stm007 - February 16, 2006 2:22 PM
Because everyone on Earth knew who Sean Connery was, everyone know who Barbara Bach was, everyone knew who Maud Adams was when they made MWTGG.
...gimme a break. Unknowns are what these films need.
If not, you get Die Another Day with Halle Berry's ballooning ego overthrowing the production. Even Pierce was too famous when he did it.
Very good news, indeed.
42. Jacq - February 16, 2006 2:23 PM
Does no one else think that she looks like Sarah Michelle Gellar in that photo?
43. Camusa - February 16, 2006 2:44 PM
OMFG.
She is gorgeous!
Check out the movie, "The Dreamers."
Worth it if just to see her naked most of the movie (trim that bush though...I don't think Moses could have talked to that one...Hello...God...it's me Moses...no...not Margaret...MOSES. Trim that thing back so you can hear me wouldja...Peter Cottontail you ain't)
44. LoneWolf - February 16, 2006 2:44 PM
Sorry, kids. This film will be a flop and James Craig is going to go the way of George Lazenby - a one-shot Bond. It sounds like the producers were trying to get a big-name actress to make up for the the fact that Craig's an unknown, and had to settle. The franchise is indeed finished.
That said, my Tivo will be looking for the next showing of "Dreamers".
45. The Lazy Asian - February 16, 2006 3:17 PM
you can't have the bond actress more famous than bond himself. Think it'll be okay.
46. outfoxed - February 16, 2006 3:45 PM
Daniel Craig is short, fair and mediocre....0 out of 3 for the tall dark and handsome Bond sort. So, whoever they cast, there's no hope in saving the flick. We just have to wait until the Bond folks come to their senses, cast Clive Owen, and the world settles back with a collective sigh of contentment.
47. Man0lo - February 16, 2006 3:57 PM
she's hot. maybe you have never seen this movie "the dreamers".well, it's italian. nobody's perfect.
48. LaydeeBug - February 16, 2006 4:21 PM
#48 Outfoxed, sigggggh, Clive Owen, synonymous with Abracadabra ie magic word.
Sometimes this site gets me all kinds of warm and snuggly inside. Excuse me while I hit myself.....
49. manunited - February 16, 2006 6:15 PM
Oh thank you #42. I was trying to think of exactly what useless waste of skin she looked like & you nailed it.. Buffy!
gracias, because it was bugging me.
50. MystressJade - February 16, 2006 6:16 PM
I agree, Clive is super hot.....Laydee, I'll help you hit yourself...*wink*
51. Jayne - February 16, 2006 6:16 PM
I loooooooooooooooooooooooove Eva Green.
I'm actually excited to see this movie now, damn it.

I loved the Dreamers, but then again, I'm a huge film snob.
As for the way she looks, I just appreciate that she doesn't look All American. Same reason I like Asia Argento. Plus, she really looks like a woman instead of a Barbie doll, or a small child, and I find that refreshing if only from a distance.
53. HughJorganthethird - February 16, 2006 6:24 PM
Just be glad that dumb motherfucker directing the Mother Theresa movie isn't making this flick or guess who the new bond girl would be. Actaully this flick looks so bad I'd be surprised if the Skankstress wasn't in it somewhere.
54. rgplease - February 16, 2006 6:24 PM
just to clear up the "bush" issue. "the dreamers" took place in 1963 paris. shaving/waxing/maintenance downstairs wasn't exactly common. she was acting.
55. Jayne - February 16, 2006 6:31 PM
theczechwreck , I thought I was the only one in the world who knew who Asia Argento was...let alone by her real name..instead of "the girl from XXX"
You have good taste :o
56. manunited - February 16, 2006 6:40 PM
Is Asia the daughter (or any relation) of Dario Argento? If so she has to be fucked up, in a good way. Suspiria = me crapping my pants.
57. hafaball - February 16, 2006 6:49 PM
At least she's fucking French! Halle Berry and Shannon Elizabeth were the worst Bond girls ever! This movie may suck, but at least they're going back to their roots. If Angelina Jolie was in this movie I would lose all respect I have left for the Bond series.
58. LaydeeBug - February 16, 2006 6:56 PM
I stopped watching Bond flix after Golden Eye.
Shannon Elizabeth....she may be nice and cute but she should stick to Jay & Silent Bob movies.
Mistress Jade, do you want the Top or Tails?
mmmmmm.....Clive Owen
59. BinkyMolyneaux - February 17, 2006 12:21 AM
She reminds me of Zoey Deschanel's dirty, European sister. I don't know if that's bad, or good. :(
60. Man0lo - February 17, 2006 3:00 AM
yes, asia argento is the daughter of dario argento. and yes, she's fucked up but in bad way.
61. JeanGrey - February 17, 2006 3:42 AM
#56: Asia Argento is Dario Argento's younger daughter (her mother is Daria Nicolodi who also starred in some of Dario's movies).
I do agree with some other people up here, The Dreamers was merely a porn, the "plot" and the problems of Paris in 1963 were almost completely left aside till last scene.
62. vanya_k - February 17, 2006 9:08 AM
I disagree #61 that the movie was a porn. Sex was definitely integral to the story but it wasn't a f*ck film unless the sex was so overwhelming to you that you couldn't take in the story.
Like most Americans, I have a hard time viewing a heavily sexual movie as anything but porno, but the dreamers was an exception. It was, in my opinion, a twisted story - I mean, incest is twisted imho -- but it was done in consummate european style, i.e. full of innuendo and subtle shading as well as the shock moments you don't expect.
That's not to say it was a pleasant movie... just artfully done in the context of euro-cinema.
In any case, Eva Green is amazingly hot but if they try to market her like she's a latter day Bardot, they'll be missing the boat.
63. LaydeeBug - February 17, 2006 11:23 AM
So I saw the pics of Eva Green at home. There was this close up shot of her pootie-tang (you could see everything) and I don't know how this is relevant to any movie. That qualifies as porn to me.
Hey, I like coochie shots like any normal person, but if yer gonna show the cooch, lets see a face down there having a snack, y'know? A close up snack with details.
64. Camusa - February 17, 2006 11:25 AM
#54...I realize the "bush" issue may be film content related, but...it was a fucking joke.
Thank you Margaret Mead for your input.
Now for Vidclips from "The Dreamers."

65. benjamin01 - February 17, 2006 11:51 AM
yah LadeeBug #63 i surely agree: showing a vagina is definitely porn. all movies fall into "porn" or "non porn" and anything that shows vagninas or weiners is porn yessirree!! that's a law of the universe! lol
66. o-n - February 17, 2006 11:57 AM
She might have been attractive to me before seeing The Dreamers. Now I can't see her as anything but a whiny, possessive, annoying skank.
67. Cheyenne_1 - February 17, 2006 12:11 PM
Sounds like you're stuck in a mental rut #66.
I would've liked to see Monica Bellucci in the bond girl role. I know Monica has tried to go for edgier/wierder roles but she would have been formidibale in teh role.
Still Eva Green is stunning and migt have good chenistry with daniel craig.
68. hermanita - February 17, 2006 6:33 PM
Well, I've only seen her in Kingdom of Heaven and she looked mighty awful. This guy behind me kept telling his wife: "I think she's a man. I'm telling you, when she takes off her veil she'll be a man." In her other pictures she looks much better...but definitely not bond-hot. I agree, Monica Bellucci! Now that's a beautiful woman.
69. The_Photoman - February 17, 2006 11:26 PM
Hmmm, a fantasy photoshoot with her be fun...http://www.jaysphotography.biz/
70. gogoboots - February 18, 2006 10:15 PM
Who cares? Bond movies are really sexist. She's pretty hot though.
71. vanya_k - February 19, 2006 10:43 AM
This kinda highlights the difference between american and european tastes__ neither is wrong or "inferior". just different in some ways.
Seems like the're pitching the Bond movie's new tack a little more toward euro tastes.
72. Robby - July 6, 2007 5:31 PM
its always funny to hear morons give their opinions on something they have no clue about. the idiot writer even says he's never heard of eva green but lets all listen to his opinion on her. damn some people are stupid. "i dont know anything about rocket science but i think that its pointless". gimme a break dipshit eva green is hot as hell with great tits and nice pouty lips. get your head out of your ass whoever wrote this article.
73. juego de casino - September 8, 2007 3:49 AM
she's a pice of a sexy ass
