It was the role no woman wanted, but now Eva Green has been cast as Vesper Lind, the latest vaguely European-sounding love interest/femme fatale for James Bond. Casino Royale’s producers have had so much trouble getting any name actress to take on the career-killing albatross that is the Bond girl mantle that they began production with the role still unfilled.
Green is the buck-toothed French actress best known for giving us a close-up of her labia in Bertolucci’s The Dreamers. She was also in the Orlando Bloom Crusade movie Kingdom of Heaven, which you didn’t see, possibly because it starred Orlando Bloom and was about the Crusades.
I’m sure the Bond team is relieved that they’ve finally found their girl. Word has it the producers’ next choice was actually Die Another Day director Lee Tamahori, who could provide his own wardrobe.
