What if Neve Campbell was cast instead of Richards as Christmas


I know several users here consider Denise Richards as the worst aspect of TWINE, but I'm wondering how different would have been the Christmas Jones character if Neve Campbell was cast instead of Richards. Campbell appeared with Richards in Wild Things, so I think Campbell could have done a better job than Richards.

She would have been better in the role.

Yeah. But all due respect to Neve, she ain't got Denise's assets.

BTW, even though Denise Richards has Canadian ancestry, the Bond film franchise has never had Canadian actresses playing a leading Bond girl. From what I know, Rachel McAdams was considered to play Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale before Eva Green was cast.

I remember that Neve had a no-nudity clause when she was filming Wild Things with Richards so Neve couldn't film nude scenes there, and she wouldn't appear nude until When Will I Be Loved in 2004. I think Neve would have ditched that clause if she was cast as Christmas Jones in TWINE.

The World is not enough is a pg 13 / 12 certificate action flick so there would be no female nudity.

Neve is fairly flat chested, especially when compared to Denise.

Even Sophie's boobies were enhanced on the movie poster to compete with Denise's.

There actually was brief female nudity but not from Dr Jones.

Neve was still making Party of Five at the time of Wild Things and had a clause written into her contact.

Of course there was also brief female nudity in Dr No and From Russia with love.
