Love Turns Down Bond

12-20-2005, 02:05 PM

Love was offered the female lead in the next Bond film after both Theron and Jolie turned it down. However,because Love is committed to GW,she had to turn it down too.

We need a reliable source from you Caper, you constantly make things up.

12-20-2005, 02:30 PM

Despite being in GW, JLH is going to do another
film...."Garfield II"...however, Caper could be
trying to do gossip on us...

Don't know, though, at this stage whether an 007
film would be the thing for JLH...the Bond fran-
chise, I would think, has about run out of steam
after 40 years, LOL!!

Personally, I would love to see JLH play a Bond girl...especially if she gets captured by the bad guys.

After looking at the new James Bond if this is true I don't blame her..... :rolleyes:

bond girls mostly disappear after their 007 movie, so it's a wise decision

Love is a Chan girl... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I love Jen but I don't think she exactly fits the Bond girl bill. Saying this carefully, I'll say she's a bit "Girl Next Door-ish" and not exotic enough for the role to really do it justice (see Denise Richards for a similar example). Nothing against her ability as an actress, she's just not worldly enough for it. She's approachable and normal, which is great for your average Lustful Joe who wishes he could be w/her, but Bond requires the women no man on Earth could ever speak to but him. Another world entirely. I think she'd be great as Money Penny, though.

Looking4Love · 12-20-2005, 06:47 PM

A source would be nice.

Love's doing Garfield II on the weekends while doing GW, so they don't interfere. Bond is a UK production, so it'd probably be mostly filmed there (at least the interiors).

I think Love would make a great Bond girl. I think she'd make a great anything, really.

I respectfully disagree Preston. Teri Hatcher, Halle Berry, Barbara Bach. Some Bond girls go nowhere others continue and even thrive. I think it takes a lot more than Bond to slow a career. Some of the Bond women have been merely eye candy.

Bond will probably never die, nor will most of it's popularity. Look how similar projects have tremendous popularity, Mission: Impossible, Bourne Identity.

Preston Meyers · 12-21-2005, 09:37 AM

yeah, some become great, but still it is a big risk to take, if you ask me...
by the way, i really like 007 movies, especially the old ones :D

12-21-2005, 10:22 AM

The source was KTLA. It was on their showbiz report. They were talking about the problems the producers were having finding a female lead for next Bond movie. Everyone keeps turning them down.

12-21-2005, 11:21 AM

I wouldn't say Bond girls disappear as, if you look who they normally choose as the good girl (usually there's the good one and the bad one), w/the exception of some of the more recent ones (like Isabella Scorupco for instance) they usually are established actresses somewhat to begin with. I just don't think love fits the mold.

Personally, I'd like to see them go younger or prequel type years w/Bond to see what he was like starting out, why he became a womanizer, etc. If they did that, they could introduce a younger Bond and Money Penny, who I still think Love would be a ringer for.

12-21-2005, 12:43 PM

That is what this new bond is about. I will just put this on the shelf with all the roles that could have been. She needs to grow up & pick more adult roles! This lovey dovey help ghosts & obese cats get better crap is getting old. :rolleyes:

Preston Meyers · 12-21-2005, 02:00 PM

love would be a great moneypenny, better then a bond girl i think. but off course if love puts her mind to it, she can do every role...

**Trotter** · 12-21-2005, 03:28 PM

[img]smile.gif[/img]
Didn't think of that if Love did take the role she would have to come back to the UK again.... [img]graemlins/faint.gif[/img]

Time to kick Sarah out..... [img]graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

i love love · 12-21-2005, 06:55 PM

You guys keep mentioning Money Penny. In all the original movies Money Penny was the "older woman" whom Bond only teased, definitely not the role for Love in my opinion. There are usually a multitude of female roles in a Bond film besides the co-star role.

A source we can verify. An independent Los Angeles television station airing in Canada eh? Strange, possible, though the story still holds no water, just like StarScream.

ever seen moneypenny in the two timothy dalton movies license to kill and the living daylights? she's not old, she was hot!
her name was caroline bliss, but i see your point: love deserves more play than this role ;)
