man i hope Ewan McGregor doesn't get this gig. i haven't been able to stomach anything he's done since Trainspotting. he can't seem to hide his planet-sized ego behind any of his roles.
interesting point: i've just learned that although Guy Pearce is an Aussie citizen, and has lived here all of his life, he was actually born in Britain... so Halx's distinction between Pearce and Bana/Jackman is right, in a sense.
Arch, you mean, 'will the Brits tolerate another Aussie Bond' don't you?
George Lazenby is an Aussie (or was, i think he may be an American these days)... but he was pretty damn crap, so the Brits might not count that as a plus.
Another theory surrounding this big entertainment question is the fact that there has already been a Bond from Britain (Moore), Scotland (Connery), Wales (Dalton), Ireland (Brosnan), and even Australia (Lazenby)... what about another former colony, like Canada, South Africa or Singapore...?
of course, thats not a serious theory... but can Bryan Adams act? j/k
as for Julian McMahon... god help us... i know its nothing that he can help, but i just can't separate him from his father (Billy McMahon, one of Australias most pathetic Prime Ministers, possibly comparable to US presidents Coolidge and Fillmore)... maybe thats why he can't get a gig here and has to sell his questionable talents overseas.
i'm still backing Clive Owen (even though i have reservations since he was killed by an American, Jason Bourne, in the Bourne Identity).
