The new James Bond

[Paul K]

Just to annoy everyone, Bond may not be who you think it might be

I hope so.. at least he is good looking so you'd expect women to swoon for him.

People were saying its going to be Danny Craig, who looks like a full blown heroin junkie.

I would be happy to see Pierce Brosnan back.. He, IMO, is the best Bond so far. Timothy Dalton was more believable, but not as funny.

[Janusian]

I reckon that Brosnan has another one in him. None of the suggested replacements have really struck me as having that indefinable quality that Connery and Brosnan have had.

[Salu]

The Sun is adamant that the next Bond will be Daniel Craig. They have a piece in today's Sun that even quotes his response which is something like "I'm honoured.....etc"

I hope they are wrong as Pierce has carved the role well for himself and I would welcome his return rather than the perceived pressure to "modernise and produce a young fresh Bond fit for the new millennium" which seems to afflict so many media organisation at the moment.

Changing a winning formula is dangerous and ought to be left alone sometimes. James Bond is an institution and he is known for being suave and classy etc and slightly sexist which goes against the grain in todayââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s plastic world of political correctness. Everyone is afraid to go against the grain!

I just hope that they don't go for the "I'm Bond, Jimmy Bond.....darlinââââ‚ ¬Å¡Ã‚¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢. Fancy a spin in me mowtarââ‚Ã⠀šÃ‚¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¦.?" caricature. Daniel Craig looks more like the Baddy than Bond, in my mindââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s eye.

I hope it is PB, a great Bond, he has all the qualities of bond, charming, good looking (for the ladies), angry when he needs to be, gentle when he doesn't, funny, but most of all, believable in the character.

All the qualities of bong? Well, I always thought he was a bit of a dope

[MadGamer]

It says in the report, that PB is going to appear two more times before Bond ends. He is a fantastic actor and is just right to play Bond.

Yup, I saw the report as well. I'll watch again if young Pierce is back. Best Bond theres been.

[Road Sign]

I reckon PB should get the gig too, he's definitely up to it, but a new Bond would probably get them a lot more publicity.

Have a look at www.voteforthenextjamesbond.com, it has a list of actors who have been linked with the role.

What about Richard Armitage (North and South on the BBC) as a dark horse?

[Stuart]

Looks like mi6.co.uk has more names to add to the list of potential bonds (from http://www.mi6.co.uk/sections/articl...rt_july05.php3 )

Apparently, the director's favourite person for the role is Goran Visnjic , who ER fans will know as Dr. Luka Kovac.

They also list James Purefoy, who, IMO would probably be a better bond.

Still prefer Colin Salmon (played Commander Robinson in the previous Brosnan bond films).

I voted "none of above" because there's is no one to take over.

If we're going to see another believable Bond like Dalton, we're going to have to see an unknown in the part.

I think, if I was help at gun point to make a decision, I would vote for Jude Law. I think he's the most talented and best looking of the lot. OK, he's a little on the short side, but why not use a shorter camera operator.
