I just love Charlize Theron. She’s sexy as hell and has all the talent in the world to back it up. We’ll just give her a mulligan for the horrible horrible horrible Aeon Flux. Heck, even Sean Connery had “Highlander 2“.
Now the word is that Theron has been pegged as the director’s top choice for the lead female role in the upcoming James Bond flick Casino Royale. Clearly she would be a good choice for them. High profile actress, loads of talent, 1 Oscar in her pocket already and a world of beauty. Why on earth wouldn’t they want her in there?
The catch is that there’s no word yet on if Theron is actually going to take the role or not. After the Aeon Flux disaster she may become a little more trigger shy about jumping into projects like a Bond franchise. She may also want to avoid the inevitable Halle Berry comparisons (sexy talented actress with an Oscar, does a sexy super hero movie that totally bombs and is also a bond girl).
Would I put Theron in the next Bond film? You’re damn right I would. Would she actually take the role? Honestly I don’t know… I have some serious doubts about it. If Aeon Flux never happened I’d say she’d do it… but now I’m not so sure.
