Josie Ho - next Bond film?

Tang Wei

The new Bond film has been casting for a Chinese actress and front runners are Tang Wei and Josie Ho, according to this article. Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing and Shu Qi are also said to be "finalists" being considered. The production company has been quietly interviewing candidates in Mainland China and Hong Kong last month. The role calls for sexy, bad and mysterious. Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing are well known domestically in China but Fan's English is not strong and Li's is not as strong as Tang Wei and Josie Ho. Shu Qi has sexy but in "The Transporter" she did not have much dialogue. Tang Wei is considered the likely choice due to both her English fluency and notoriety from "Lust, Caution". Josie Ho has the rebel image and fashion style, also, she recently worked on Steven Soderbergh's "Contagion". The film directed by Sam Mendes begins shooting next month so a final announcement is expected shortly. (Sina) Elsewhere, it's being reported that the official Bond girl is French actress Berenice Marlohe

    Lin Chi-ling is soooo pretty. Some lucky guy will marry her someday.

    Didn't know that about Zhang Ziyi. That's sad news, but a good reminder that everyone is human.

    I'm hoping that Love on Credit is at least a decent film.

    That ZZY story came out last Aug. Had to look it up to refresh my memory. I thought it sounded familiar:
