What do you guys think of the rumor of Clive Owen being the new Bond? Personally, after seeing The Hire, I think he'd do a great job. But that's just my opinion.

i kinda said this abt 2 months ago

meh, I thought Pierce was coming back for another one but after that I would think that the guy "Chandler" from a series called "The Bill" would make a good looking bond.

a tad too late then, huh

Well I kinda wasn't here about two months ago, so I had no way of knowing. Fool.

Bump!

Isn't it funny? This thread was made over a year ago, and we're STILL debating whether Clive Owen will be in Bond 21 ...

and he won't cause he said no

Meh. That's no big loss ...

dunno, Pierce liked him for a while too

Owen has publicly said he doesn't want the role... i'll acknowledge that... i wonder if he would say no, though, if it was offered to him... that may be a different story... IMO, he'd be great in the role...

but if he doesn't take it, my runner-up candidate would be James Purefoy...

Owen does have the right age though...
it won't be the first time that people reject the bond role due to age though

Clive Owen is my first choice for Bond 21, if Pierce doesn't do it, which I hope he doesn't do, he's getting too old (poor chap). IMO, he has all the elements that makes Bond, class, sophistication, intelligence, sexiness, and he looks great in a tuxedo! Anyway, I wouldn't be too bummed out if he wasn't the next Bond. It would be good if he was though... he'd be great!

I saw TND and DaD in the same day, and I have to say, he looked better with the bit of grey shining through his hair...

and Pierce won't be in the new one, his contract ended and he didn't sign for extras

I think he looks really good looking with the grey hairs, but I don't we need another Never Say Never Again, do we?

Look at this picture - http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0002WZTJS.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg - I think he could most definitely pull off the look.

but in NSNA, Sean was bald


hmm, if Clive gets some longer hair, he might look like it... reminds me a bit of Dalton though

I heard he won the Golden Globe Award for best supporting actor in "Closer". Well Done

he did, and Portman got one too for that movie

well, since Owen got a Golden Globe, the bookies "William Hill" have slashed his ranking... they're laying odds on him at 4/1 now (previously was 8/1)...

not that they have any influence over who will be picked... but it's nice to see him getting a little more support!

why would a globe enhance chances? I would think it doesn't since it makes him more known

i'm with you on that one... Bond actors are generally lesser knowns before they're picked for Bond... same reason i think Hugh Jackman doesn't have a chance... but this just shows what the bookies know, i guess (which is nothing )... still gotta keep my fingers crossed for Clive, though... if not, Purefoy all the way, baby!!!

well, the same bookies gave Salmon a lot ...and he's black

(not being racist, just that bond is white )

he'd be rubbish

why would he be that?

the thing you have to remember with the bookies, is that they're trying to make money... when the things with Salmon happened, it was because a huge number of people started placing massive bets on him all at once, and it scared them that maybe - just maybe - someone was using inside information to make a buck (not that anyone would ever do that, right Martha Stewart??), so they adjusted his odds so that IF Salmon was picked as Bond, the payoff wouldn't be so big... the bookies came out and said that publicly, too - that they saw it as a big publicity stunt by people promoting Salmon, and they had adjusted his odds in order to get people to quit betting on him so much...

yeah, but he also signed a pic with "the new James Bond"

He's just not cool enough

but how do you define that?

Define cool? You can't, someone is either cool or they are not.

but does he have to look good in tux or how he has his hair or don't you care about that?

I guess he can look quite daper, but he just does not stike me as cool enough.

who would you prefer then?

Yerssot!

Corran!


what?

Oh right, I think Jude Law would be able to pull it off.

and he looks cool and like the others?

He does look cool yes. He may have to do something about the colour of his hair.

and grow more of them too

no he didn't... he signed his name, followed by "007", which for all we know is just a reference to the fact that he is well-known for his appearances in Bond films... the media then took it and ran with it and made up the whole "new James Bond" story...

get your facts straight...

btw, Jude Law is not mature enough for Bond... he looks like a 15 yr old kid!

it basicly means the same though

Actually, Jude Law does really look like a kid. He has a baby face... I don't know, for his age, he looks younger. But for Bond, Jude Law could really make a good Bond.

how do you mean?
