I've got a lady over whom Shiek and I disagree about her playing Renee. It's none other than Halle Berry! Besides being an Academy Award winner for Best Actress, Halle's got the physique and serious persona you'd want for someone portraying Renee. Of course, the catch is you'd have to write her a much bigger part....yeah, some catch!

Did I mention she can also curl her hair as required?

Halle's figure is a near-perfect match:

She's even posed in outfits not so terribly different from those seen in Claymore, like this:

That might've been the hottest endorsement of stuffing Halle into a Ghost's uniform I've seen. Just add some stockings, partial arm coverings and a scandalous miniskirt, and voila, Miria would finally have a true rival in the "Sex Bomb" category.

Come on Shiek, even you have to admit Halle would be a knockout for Renee's part, plus she'd give Renee that different flair people were picking up when they first saw her hairdo.
I believe that having Halle Berry as Renee would be a match made in heaven. Now all we have to do is reverse time 15 years to when Halle was just starting out as an actress at age 28, rewrite (if needed) Claymore's parts for her to make Renee much more important, and watch Halle's acting chops add some much-needed depth to Claymore's character psychologies.
