All solid, fantastic choices to play Montoya. I'd be happy with either one. :woot:
 
I dont think anyone has mentioned Jennifer Esposito yet, I think she'd be awesome in TDK.
She also has at least 3 movies I can think of where she's played a hot but tough female cop.

good call...i liked her in Crash and she was alright in Taxi (crappy movie). hope she looks good with black hair...
 
No to Jennifer Lopez, yes to Jennifer Esposito.
 
No to Jennifer Lopez, yes to Jennifer Esposito.

There are so many reasons not to cast Lopez... She´s a mediocre actress, didn´t play a convincing cop in Angel Eyes and she´s a total diva that would make the set feel like hell.

Agreed. Lopez = teh suck.

Sorry about that, I just got the crazy hots for her (and her ass)... wowsers!
makes me wanna bury my face in it and sniff like a blood-hound aawwwooo!!!
 
She's practically type cast in her role as "hard ass" (no pun intended) female, latino cop. They could do a lot worse IMO.
 
No to Michelle Rodriguez, Jennifer Lopez, Rosario Dawson, Eva Longoria, Salma Hayek. I really dig some of those, but I don't think they're suitable for TDK.

Catalina Sandino Moreno is too young and Asia Argento "too tough". Eva Mendes is maybe-baby.

I actually thought of Jennifer Esposito when I first heard/read of Renee Montoya. I wouldn't mind Paz Vega, Penélope Cruz or Roselyn Sanchez either.

Oh yeah, and what about Caterina Murino? (Though she's Italian.)

how about we just put all them in one big panty and bra pillow fight movie?
 
Paz Vega was a good choice, to whomever suggested her
 
Michele Roderiguez might be fine, b/c she's a really tough chick.....which is essentially what Montoya is. I'd be fine with JLO....only she's kinda like Box Office poison. Not down with Longoria, Hayek might be too much latina.....her accent is so thick, whereas Montoya seems to always have been more like what JLO is, which is an American born and raised latina.

I still gotta go with Elizabeth Rodriguez. She was a tough chick as Gina in Miami Vice, and really....Montoya would probably be alot like Gina, not a character that gets alot of screentime but still has a presence. Marisol Nichols, a mexican-decent actress who played a cop on BLIND JUSTICE could work too.

If you cast any of those women......your kinda dooming yourself to having to MUST use them more than you probably would want to. Suddenly, b/c you got Hayek.....or Longoria....b/c of they're status, you gotta beef up screentime or get lashed with some critcism over it.

Agreed. Most of the names being bandied about are a little too "A-list" I think. Also agree to the observation about Hayek. I have to put Paz Vega and Penelope Cruz in that category too. Montoya is a Latina, born in raised in Gotham. I know people hate Michelle Rodriguez, but I always thought she was perfect for Montoya (before she became tabloid fodder, that is.) I also dig the idea of Jennifer Esposito and the more I see those "Sentinel" screen caps, I don't hate the Longoria choice as much as I did before.

Well said. I had did not realize the implications it would have on screen-time etc.
You suggested that girl from Miami Vice which is a pretty damn good choice, for some reason her performance stands out in my memory. She played a cop and shes quite a looker too.

Isn't Marisol the chick who plays Nadia in this season of '24'?

Of all the names thrown around here i like Leornor Varela. I would love to see her back on the big screen after Blade 2. I've alway picture Montoya as a cute girl, who's humbly good looking but not hot, which is the qualities i think Leornor has.

Another name i haven't seen mentioned is 'Paula Garces' from FX's 'The Sheild'. She plays a pretty convincing rookie cop on that show...

I like the girl from 24


Please god no... NO MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ. She is ugly as hell and I can't stand her "acting".
 
I think Sofía Vergara should play rene montoya. She's great in knights of prosperity. She plays a tough chick in the show.

there are a million actresses out there who could play this part. i'd almost prefer an unkown or little-known woman who can actually ACT. hate to burst all your bubbles but michelle rodriguez is a TERRIBLE actress. anyone but her.
