Penelope Cruz officially announced for Bond 24 (sort of)
From Premiere magazine (France)
The webpage is in French, but you can see Ms Cruz's name buried in a Sony press release. Surreptitious announcement or clerical error? You decide.

She's too old now.

Not necessarily. The mantra has always been "women, not girls" for Bond.FormerBondFan wrote:She's too old now.

Unless she were to play the main villain they will continue to cast as they always have.
Her agents deny it so maybe it was a error by Sony, but I have to agree she is right on the edge of too old, but with Bad Grandpa Craig Bond the young women cast might be more into making out with Connery.

Her official age is 39, the same as Craig's official age when he made CR. I don't know what their real ages are, but I'm guessing she's younger than Craig.

How did the attractive Ms Cruz become relegated to the hag column?

I thought Blowfeld was referring to her involvement to this franchise.My response to it was that Miss Broccoli offered her something she can't refuse.Kristatos wrote:What does that have to do with people on this forum dismissing Ms Cruz for being allegedly too old?John P.

Re: Penelope Cruz officially announced for Bond 24 (sort of)
I fail to see how Cruz can be called a hag. I know it's a matter of opinion, but would you call her a hag if Brosnan were still Bond? I don't think so.
I dislike Craig as much as the next fan, but I wouldn't call Cruz a hag, certainly not.

Re: Penelope Cruz officially announced for Bond 24 (sort of)
I don't think she is ugly or a hag it's she is too old for a Bond girl unless she is Blofeld or another arch nemesis. Clarissa Quantum or whatever.
10 years a go she would be a good get IMHO. It wouldn't matter to me who was bond in 2014-15

Re: Penelope Cruz officially announced for Bond 24 (sort of)
Never thought of her as ugly at all. On the contrary, she is incredibly stunning. Well, age never mattered to me as long as one looks good at any age. She just deserves better franchises than this, or co-stars than the mug of CR-egg.
Re: Penelope Cruz officially announced for Bond 24 (sort of)
She is closer in age to Egg than the last few Bond girls.

Re: Penelope Cruz officially announced for Bond 24 (sort of)
I was about the post the same. Everyone ages differently, but it is hard to believe that Craig is about the same age as Moore in LALD and Dalton in LTK.Kristatos wrote:She is closer in age to Egg than the last few Bond girls.

Re: Penelope Cruz officially announced for Bond 24 (sort of)
So true he looks so much older. I don't think her age is a problem, back in the 1990 I think it was Sela Ward who heard they wanted her for a Bond girl got real excited about the possibility then learned they wanted her of 20 years ago.Daltonite Toothpaste wrote:I was about the post the same.

But he did get a movie with Dalton
What I remember of Cruz is for a long time every movie she was on her and the leading man would be involved romantically on and off the set. Some actress seem to do that for whatever reasons, probably better to keep her off a Bond set were it would cause a scandal .
