Who would you like to see as the next James Bond?

I'm a Bond fan and must admit out of *all* the people who played 007 I much preferred Sean Connery. I thought he was soooooo much better than Roger Moore.

I do like Pierce Brosnan too but Sean was always the man for me LOL

I think that Jason Statham (he from The Transporter) would make a good Bond along with Clive Owen but thats my opinion :lol:

annette :wave:
 
I'm with you, Annette. I was just saying to myself (today actually) that Jason Statham would make a really good Bond. As would Clive Owen.

I also like Eric Bana (Troy, Chopper, Black Hawk Down) as Bond.

007 Field Narrows

Variety reported that the field of actors under consideration to replace Pierce Brosnan as James Bond has narrowed to Daniel Craig (Layer Cake), Henry Cavill (a contender for Superman), Sam Worthington and Goran Visnjic (E.R.). Screen tests are being completed this week, the trade paper reported.

The lack of big names results from the producing Broccoli family's unwillingness to break precedent and pay gross points to a 007, eliminating such rumored stars as Clive Owen from the Bond derby, the trade paper reported. They'll surely get their Bond for a fraction of the $25 million or so paid on the last film to Brosnan before he was dumped. Martin Campbell starts production in January on the next Bond movie, Casino Royale, for Sony.

Shouldn't they hurry it up a little, they've already had a few years to choose one?
 
Casino Royale is the next Bond film?

They did that one in 1967, with David Niven, Peter Sellers, Woody Allen, Ursula Andres and a few others as James Bond!
 
Yes, but it was never an official (Broccoli family/ Eon) Bond film and it was a spoof. This from IMDb:
Casino Royale was Ian Fleming's first James Bond novel. It was the only one not sold to Eon Productions. As a result, CBS TV first adapted it for an episode of "Climax!" (1954) in 1954, starring Barry Nelson as CIA agent Jimmy Bond. When plans began to adapt the novel as a motion picture, the original thought was to do a straight film of the novel. But with the success of Sean Connery's Bond, it was decided the only way a rival Bond film could survive would be as a parody.

Later we did get 'Never Say Never Again' as a rival Bond film, and now this is the only book left to adapt. Though I have to say that the films have become so formulaic you hardly need a script anymore. Just add an evil villain, fast cars, fast women, gadgets, fight scenes, chase scenes and mix together completely, then leave to half-bake in the oven.

I still like them, though I wish ITV would show something else on a Saturday evening for a change. ;)

I don't have a view on the next Bond if that is the shortlist, since I don't know any of them.
 
Announcement due today

Rumour on TV, radio and in the newspapers is that the new James Bond is to be unveiled today - with Daniel Craig widely expected to land the role.

According to his mother, Craig, 37, will be named as the new 007 at a press conference in central London.

Speaking from her Liverpool home, Carol Blond, 62, told ‘The Sun’: "We are thrilled to bits. This has come at a very good time in his career. I think he could bring something very interesting to the part. I think it will be life-changing.â€

"But I think he's old enough and experienced enough to handle it."
 
AND what does everyone think of TPTB's decision to make Daniel Craig the next 007????????

Not impressed myself but TMO. It should've been Clive Owen or Jason Statham. Oh well!!!!

I can't believe it took them soooooooooooooo long to decide on the 'right' actor for the role.

annette :flash:
 
He's blond.

Doesn't seem to fit to me. But he might be very very good! I reserve judgement until I see the film. Fingers crossed.
 
The new James Bond was announced. I'm not a huge fan of the James Bond movies, but I watch them occasionally. I'm open to watching the new one, but I'll most likely be waiting for the DVD as opposed to watching it in the theaters. However, we'll just have to wait and see until that time comes... :p
 
I liked Pierce Brosnan as Bond but Daniel Craig also makes a fairly good James Bond as well. I think Dougray Scott would also be good in the role.
 
Idris Alba, would be my choice as the next Bond. Although I suspect his age (44) might go against him.

Really decent actor, not least because of Luther, but also as the brilliant Stringer Bell from "The Wire". Exceptionally versatile
 
Me and the GF watched Lucifer last week. She made a throw away comment that Tom Ellis would make a pretty good Jimbo Bond.

It's off the wall, but not actually a bad suggestion.
 
I like the idea of Tom Hiddleston - let him play a good guy instead of Loki!

He is a really cool guy - when he goes to fan conventions he does this whole Loki persona thing and it's actually really funny, there are some funny videos of him online.
 
Fassbender can certainly do the whole 'detached menace' thing that made Craig a good fit for Bond (as written).
