Angelina Jolie
Craig's ex-Tomb Raiding partner said it was ''a lifetime ambition to play
a 007 villain'' at the premiere of 2004's Alexander but reportedly passed
on playing Bond's first love, Vesper Lynd.
Charlize Theron
Rumored to be the director's first choice for Lynd, the South African
nixed her chance to follow Halle Berry as another Oscar-winning Bond
girl. We'd be action-wary too if we'd made Aeon Flux.
Rachel McAdams
Hot off the success of Wedding Crashers, McAdams' name kept popping up
in the tabloids — but the former Hot Chick and Mean Girl had no interest
in adding Bond Babe to her résumé.
Thandie Newton
Though this Crash costar and Mission: Impossible 2 bombshell was often
bandied about as a candidate by the press, she's reportedly dismissed
the notion as ''a rumor I enjoyed very much.''
THE NEW BOND GIRL
Eva Green
She's French, superhot, and has made... three movies? Broccoli isn't
worried: ''Lynd's the most important character in the Bond lexicon. She
defines him. Eva can pull that off.''
