Re: And the new James Bond is...
 

He was pretty good in Our Friends in the North which was a fantastic series I just dont see him as a bond, its a surpising choice he is probably reasonable well known on the UK but maybe not so much in the rest of the world market.

I'd rather see Samuel L Jackson as Bond.

Yeah. It's be the first use of the following script.

Hot Chick: "What's your name?"
Bond: "Motherfucker. Bad Motherfucker."

They need to clone Moore and continue using him. I personally like Connery more as an actor but Moore is more true to Fleming's bond I think.

He does have the snobby edge, but otherwise, Fleming's Bond always seemed quite serious to me, and Moore is anything but serious.

Characteristics of a good James Bond.

1) Confident
2) Good with the ladies
3) Credible in a fight with a Russian Goon.

What does hair have to do with it. Besides this guy was "Handsome Rob" in the Italian Job. You may like your men hairy but it is not a requirement for Bond.

Loser, Low Limit Loser

Hmm, can't say i've seen any of his films. In that photo though he looks like a bit of a geezer, which will make a nice change. Rather him than some poncey bond like Jude Law or Orlando Bloom.

Or even the last one, whom my friends and I joke looks like a twerp that our grandmothers could beat up. He can pull off classy just fine, but is absolutely unconvincing as a threatening physical presence. His shoulders are narrow, he's got skinny arms, and his chest is practically concave.

I'm much more partial to the Connery mold of an impeccably polished ape in a suit. When he threatened to break a girl's arm, you got the feeling he wasn't kidding. For all his sophistication, he had a job to do and would do what it took to get it done. There was an undertone of scariness to Connery's Bond.

I'd rather see Jackman as Bond, but I guess it's too much for one guy to be both Wolverine -and- James Bond. Then again, Rocky and Rambo were the same guy.

In the article they mention Orlando Bloom. James Bond with a bow would be awesome.

Jackman would be in there as a result of winning a popularity contest. He's nothing like Bond. He could perhaps correct that, as he's a good actor, but the world isn't short of actors, and some must fit the mold better.
