I laughed out loud at that one :)

You know that in the books, Bond was an ugly scarred up, brutal motherfucker right?

Conney played the brutal best. As for the next... I have no idea. They havent been as good since they started writing their own plots. Flemming wrote good stories...

The new ones are too simplistic.

The last good Bond was Goldeneye. It is definitely one of the best ones, in my opinion. I LOVE that movie. It has so much atmosphere. The characters are classic too, reminds me of the characters of yester-Bond. The story wasn't completely original, but at least the plot was solid and the damn action sequences weren't filled with CG *cough*Die Another Day*cough*

I get chill bumps everytime Bond busts through the wall in the tank when he is chasing Urumov and Natalia in the Euro car

ahh fuckit. The bond franchise is so far from the books now that we may as well take it in a whole new direction. I nominate Rick Moranis as the next bond.

Ron Stoppable (and Rufus)

BOOYAAHHH

Well damn. Brosnan did an awesome job with the character, second only to Connery in my opinion. Most of the movies werent very good, but Brosnan nailed the role.

I hope they pick someone good...

I nominate Conan O'Brien. 'Nuff said.

I'll nominate Shaquille Oneil because he has already proved himself a great actor in Kazaam and Shaq-Fu.

i hope not. i don't like him as an actor, and he's not shown his best side being a human being either.

I'm hoping for Hugh Jackman.. he'd be great as the next Bond. I think he could easily have that smooth, suave, look and charm.

I vote for Clive Owen. This is fueled by me seeing the BMW films and saying, "Wow!" I think he's the part.

Too bad Jim Nabors is too old. ;)



I read on another site that it was a stipulation of Ian Flemings' estate, or his company, that the Bond actor had to be of Welsh, Scottish, or English descent.

Has anybody else heard of this?

Oh yeah, before you say "Idjit, Brosnan is Irish!", I know, but from what I read, he's English on his mothers' side, and grew up there after the age of ten when he went to live with her.
To clarify, though, all my info may be wrong. :)

Harrison Ford.

Reported this morning (via fark) is that Brosnan will be Bond for the next film:

Without a doubt, I think Christian Bale would have made a great Bond. While I'm happy he's the next Batman, I think he would have probably made a better Bond.

What about Jason Statham? He's certainly physically believable as Bond, probably more so than any other Bond actor other than Connery. When he's kicking a villains ass, you'd know it was kicked! I'm not sure if he could pull off as much "upper class" as we've seen with Brosnan, but I'd like to see him get a shot. He'd be different enough from the other Bonds to get a fair shake on his own, too.

That would be cool, but he's already played a Bond villain (his name began with Z i think).

My vote goes to Clive Owen

a lot of the names listed just dont sound... classy enough i want to say but thats just me. you have to have a little more age than most of these boys have becuase it just adds to the yumminess

I think bale would be great but i'm not sure if he is one to tie himself down to a flim series like this. But hey if the pay him enough. :)
