An excellent follow-up to the preceeding story: Rumours that Halle Berry is to be the next bond girl is confirmed by this Variety article.
NEW YORK (Variety)- Halle Berry is poised to star alongside Pierce Brosnan as the femme fatale in the next James Bond film, which is fast mobilizing for a Jan. 14 start at Pinewood Studios. Lee Tamahori is directing.
Berry has been rumored for the role for several weeks and by all accounts very much wants to play the villainess. Potential scheduling conflicts are the reason a deal hasn't yet been closed. Berry is locked in to reprise her role as Storm in the "X-Men" sequel, which helmer Bryan Singer will shoot early next year for Fox.
Because the sequel's shooting schedule is still being worked out, Berry's reps at CAA and Vincent Cirrincione Management haven't been able to work out a scenario in which she could do both roles.
The Bond film certainly will be a spectacle. Scripted by Neil Purvis and Robert Wade ("The World Is Not Enough"), pic will be the 20th in the series and the 40th anniversary of the 007 franchise. MGM will release the film for the 2002 holiday season with producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.
Berry, whose last film was "Swordfish," is generating buzz for her latest effort, the Marc Forster-directed Lions Gate film "Monster's Ball," which opens Dec. 26.

I think Halle is an excellent choice. She's super hot and even though I did not think she fit the role as Storm in the "X-Men", I think she'll be great as a Bond girl. Me like Halle. Me so happy.

I dont't think halle berry should be the next bond girl that role should be given to a more acredited =movie star, after the hit& run accident I dont see the great actress everyone is buzzing about. The role shoul be given to julia roberts, everyone love JULIA!

Now a bad bond girl, mmmmm, how about Alice Kriege? Given a good script I think she could make you scared,creeped out, and turned on all at the same time.

I think Halle Berry has the looks to fit that role. Personally, I don't think they take acting skills much into account when they choose "Bond girls", so whether she's a good actress or not won't probably be a decision factor. Of course, it will be much better if she does it well.
On the other hand, I can't picture Julia Roberts in a Bond movie, but... who knows? We could be up for a surprise.

Word is, she'll be breaking the nudity barrier for the first time in a Bond film.
(I totally got wood watching her in Swordfish...)

"I love you, Mr.Bond, but I have to kill you", that's a line worth of Julia Roberts.
Of course with a beautiful big smile.

We'd like to see Julia Roberts and Halle Berry tie up and tie down Kate Hudson, and just have their oily way with her.

I just want to see them molest her with some S&M, who cares about Bond, he's just a second rate Indiana Jones anyway.

There is only one Indiana Jones: Harrison Ford. I don't know how many boys have played Bond, but obviously they have yet to find someone half as cool as Ford. Bond is a Euro Sissy, he needs an entire country backing him up, Jones is a one man gang! Nice try Frenchie. (UK)

Don't get me wrong, I think Indy's great but you have to admit, Bond would kick his ass.

Most of the ?Bond Girls? have been no-named actresses who have used that distinction as a stepping stone to popularity. For Halle Berry, who is already an established actress, being named a Bond girl is in my opinion a step backwards. She can do better.

What is this thing for Julia Roberts, she is overpaid and her brother Eric Roberts should be booted out of the screen guilds union, just a family of useless untalented brats.

I do not think she was a terrible Storm, considering that in the comic book Storm is a strong beautiful black woman, which Halle is also. Who would be a better Storm anyway? Suggestions.
Halle? Beau-Latasha?

I just saw Bond, Halle was okay, but I would much rather see the most gorgeous woman alive The model diva Beau-Latasha as a bond girl.
Halle the Bond girl.

I had the sheer pleasure in viewing the new addition to the Bond legacy and I was not really impressed with the performance of Halle. Halle although a so-so actress and looks like most women on my block, she is highly overated. I would like to see this Beau-Latasha that everyone is raving over.

I think that Halle Berry looks are very overrated. She looks like a little boy at times and her nude body should have been reserved for her husband eyes only. I will be glad to see when the world gets a chance to see someone that is truly beautiful in the looks department, because in Hollywoodville only the celebrities are esteemed in that department. There are so many gorgeous woman throughout this world.

Halle Berry is very overrated. There are so many other actresses that are more beautiful such as: Salma Hayek, Rosalyn Sanchez,Stacey Dash, Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Kidman, and Salli Richardson.

I'am a single black man...Looks are in the eyes of the beholder!!! Halle Berry is average looking nothing special. Very overrated, but that is my opinion. I see that they did not get the movie "Jinx." If she was so Gorgeous she would have gotten the gig! There are so many more beautiful black women in the world.

YOUR THE IDIOT--- HEY MAN I DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU CONCERNING HALLE BERRY. SHE IS NOT ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN (NOT EVEN IN THE TOP 10) NOR DOES SHE HAVE TALENT ( ANYONE CAN TAKE OFF THEIR CLOTHES AND ACT LIKE A FOOL AND WIN AN OSCAR.) I THINK YOU GUYS SHOULD SPEND THE MONEY AND BUY SOME NEW GLASSES.

IF SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN SHE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE JINX SPINOFF. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SORRY HALLE BUT YOUR NOT THE EPITOME OF BEAUTY.

WHY DID HALLE NOT GET THE JINX MOVIE DEAL, WELL BECAUSE SHE IS NOT WORTHLY OF IT, NOT IN BEAUTY OR TALENT. THE BOND ASSOCIATION WANTS A WOMAN THAT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD FOR SUCH A HONOR.
