The new James Bond
With the recent news (apparently announced yesterday) that Pierce Brosnan has starred in his last James Bond movie (see http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds15147.html), who would you have replace him?
I personally would suggest Christian Bale (http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0000288/) to replace him, but he may not do it as he is the next Batman. The article says that those in the frame are :

Of that lot, I think that Clive Owen would be the best (and he does seem to be rocketing up the studios wish lists at the minute.
I'm not sure about Gerard Butler because he only seems to use his native accent (which I know was what Connery did / does), but we've had Bond as 'posh' English ever since Connery stopped. I think Butler is a great actor (particularly in Reign of Fire), but just doesn't strike me as Bond (same for Ioan Gruffud as well. |

He is the ONLY true Bond in that list (IMHO) :D Ewan McGregor spoiled Star Wars I thought. Never like the guy, never will :p: Hugh Janus :p: (I mean Grant) is a little too old. He is like Mr Been in "Johnny English" The rest are small time. We need a nice 007 role model. :Yikes: |
Re: The new James Bond
Ok. Let's throw it open a little.
If you could have any actor for Bond, who would you have? |

Re: The new James Bond
Ioan Gruffudd? I hope not.He's a super Hornblower and I want that series to finish first. :(
Clive Owen?Colin Firth? too much of a touchy feely.In fact none of them would be right. James Bond is a misogynist so we need someone who can overcome the touchy feely scripts they keep coming up with. |

NTL's own pages suggest Hugh Jackman is in the running

Re: The new James Bond
As for the Bond franchise, I've said it before and I'll say it again: Brosnan is not the name that needs to be removed from the marquee. No, that dishonor should befall on Barbara Broccoli and (especially) Michael G. Wilson. Broccoli is still paralyzed by Cubby's last words ("Don't screw it up,") and Wilson is a tired old man who seems to view the Bond films not as spy adventures to thrill audiences...but as little more than his trusty pension.
It's a shame that one of the all-time best Bonds (Brosnan) got saddled with a few of the all-time worst Bond films. As the films have become more and more silly in a world that becomes more and more dangerous, I often wonder if EON should embrace the new post-9/11 world in the Bond films. The old Bond films benefitted from the Cold War, using the Soviets as villains. Perhaps it's time to send Bond into the war on terror, so that he can save a world we actually care about. No more giant space lasers aimed at cities. No more super-villains with massive secret lairs. I think it's time for Bond to do some on-screen good that audiences can actually value and enjoy.. |

Ioan Gruffudd for me - about time we had a 'proper' Welshman playing Bond :D
He'll never get the part of course - his name would be too difficult for the yanks to understand... :rolleyes: |
