well, as much as i despise Pierce Brosnan, i have to admit i did like him as Bond. he has/had a perfect mix of suave and action.
if i remember correctly, there was a thread about this not so long ago...
i think that it listed a few possibles...
Christian Bale
Clive Owen
Jude Law
Russell Crowe
Hugh Jackman
to my mind, Bale and Owen are the only plausible options of that list.
Law comes off as a pansy, while Crowe and Jackman are too rough and meaty.
but, since Bale has become the new Batman, perhaps studios will see him as already too 'superhero-ish'... maybe...
i think Owen would be a good replacement. BUT (and this is really nit-picking here), he was killed by Matt Damon in The Bourne Identity. and we can't have the next super-suave, super-Brit having been killed by an American super-spy now can we??
i'd love to hear of any other rumoured replacements.
