I agree that in the aussie catagory, Guy takes it hands down. Sean Bean was already a villan (see Janus, Goldeneye), Bana has neither the experience, nor the swagger, and Jackman is a poor actor, IMO. I remember seeing Brosnan in an interview naming Clive Owen as his choice, and I am starting to agree. The BMW films (www.bmwfilms.com), and I'll Sleep Whn I'm Dead are fantastic movies, and show that he has the ability to play the role in action, swagger, and finesse. Dougray Scott might be good to, though.

Ion Grufford was mentioned in the british tabloid 'Guardian' as the Bond in 2020, as he is too young by far right now. He was mentioned by Timothy Dalton as his choice for Bond.

Ewan McGregor was seemingly gunning for the role when he accpeted the role of Catcher Block in that terrible 'Down With Love' movie. His work in 'Trainspotting', 'Star Wars', 'Black Hawk Down', and 'Big Fish' have established his acting talent. McGregor said that he would be interested in taking over the role of James Bond from Pierce Brosnan in Bond 21. "I think about this the same way I thought about the rumors that I might do 'Star Wars.' I always said with that one, too, that I'd have to wait and see if they really wanted me and how I felt about it at the time. What would worry me about Bond is that it does seem to require an enormous commitment in the same way that 'Star Wars' doesn't because those movies were so far apart, whereas Bond seems to be closer together. ... I also notice Pierce Brosnan spending a lot of the year promoting Bond films. So, I would worry about that because I'd have less time to do other films."

Remember that this role is always subject to change. We may hear a Bond named officially, and see it change a week later. Sean Connery wasn't supposed to be the first James Bond. Roger Moore was Ian Fleming's original choice to play James Bond. Boy, they sure dodged the bullet there! I was never a fan of Moore's later Bonds, as they almost killed the series.
