There is another James Bond movie in the works, the 24th in the series of gun-slingin', sex-havin', Russia-or-whoever-it-is-nowadays-hatin' flicks to appear on-screen since Sean Connery kicked the whole thing off. But next year's film, Spectre, features something rarely seen in the Bond world: an age-appropriate co-star.

The so-called "Bond girl," in this film, is Monica Bellucci, age 50. For a franchise that has been built on the idea that Britain's most famous spy has no qualms about romantic entanglements with a teenager (Aliza Gur was a teenager while filming "From Russia With Love"), it's a step forward.

If the Washington Compost says it is a "step forward" it most likely is a step back.

...still a woman? Is that ever an understatement. She's easily one of the most beautiful women on planet earth.

It’s a little better than being gay, but not much. They still don’t get it.

I think the whole Bond thing was played out long ago. Pretty much the same basic plot every time. The only thing that changes is the bad guy and the gadgets. But hey, if it’s still a money maker more power to them.

Still a smokin' hot babe. I'll watch. Craig is the second best Bond. Dalton seemed to much of a girly man for the job and Roger Moore was doomed because of the comparison with Conrey.

I always thought that Adrian Paul would have been a great choice.

At 50?

I’m marry her in a heartbeat.

Older women are more worldly and men overlook the really beautiful ones.

At my age, she’s my kinda Bond girl. :)
