To quote Princess Leia: WHAT?!!!

PLEASE, for the love of GOD, tell me you're joking!!! Tell me it's not true!!! Tell me there is hope left in this world!!! Orlando Bloom as James Bond?!!! I ask you!!! Has the world gone crazy? Orlando Bloom is not a good actor people!!! He's downright AWFUL!!! He's wooden, and hammy, and just oh so WRONG for the part of James Bond!!! As Mugatu would say, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here!!! Why can't people SEE this?!!!

And JB: the college years? What in the HELL are the producers thinking? This is possibly THE WORST thing to happen to the JB series in years!!! At least Moore had charisma!!! At least Moore was witty!!! I even liked Moonraker, for goodness sake!!!

I mean - OH DEAR GOD NO!!!

Does no one else CARE about this crushing news?

Ahahahahahah! Ahahahahah!

I peed myself.

I sincerely hope this IS a joke Mr. Zero...

Nope. This is funny: Whats not to laugh at. A lousy actor in a terrible idea of a movie.

DAMN! - even funnier - soon all the pre-teen orlando loving geeks will be swarming over here from the LOTR forum to fill your bond pages with "WE LOVE ORLI" threads.

Ahahahahah. too good.

As long as it's not a canon film they can stick in it any turd they like...

According to reports, this is the direction the series is heading in!!!

I have never heard of this site, nor have I heard of the author of this information. He does not site any sources and nothing is confirmed. I wouldn't believe him, folks.

well reborn........its on TONS of sites now.....just do a search........

Well, www.jamesbond.com doesn't even have this info. And that's the official site. It would be there first. This is merely a rumor. Post some of the sites that have this news.

this is what I found.....but eh you may be right.....I have been wrong before in my life

yeah well... luckily, I consider bond directors sane enough NOT to choose Bloom to be the next James Bond

these are hopefully JUST rumors

but...

news about the new James Bond actor go to the official (kinda) thread here: who should be the new Bond?

Them big letters are blinding me, Evy...what was that you were saying?

wear glasses, I ain't posting it again

I do...and they're still blinding me...

wait till I use the glow

POST in the OFFICIAL thread

A neon glow...*TR dons his sunglasses*...er, yes Ms Evy...we's will do our best...

those are cool sunglasses you got there Mr TR

I like 'em too...and you know what? It's says on the wrapper they can see through things...

you mean they got X-Ray vision?

I can't be a wannabee 00 agent without seeing through things, now, can I???

you mean all 00 agents can see through things? it's like ... obligatory?

Yup...we can all the what's going on behind the scenes...

sounds fun, I'll demand an xray vision along with my 00 identity as well!

Jeez...you're getting quicker at shooting back than ol' Yerss...and you telling him off for doing so...

see, that's what happens when I get a little bit of how-to-post-fast exercise

You mean stealth software???

I mean what now?

The source for this, btw, is Aintitcoolnews: www.aintitcool.com

Praise the Lord! This rumour has been confirmed FALSE! I don't know why I didn't think of it before: MGM is the company that produces the bond films, right? And naturally they're never going to sell the rights to the franchise in a million years. So even if, hypothetically, Miramax was planning such a project with Orlando Bloom, it would never get the go ahead from MGM.

And thank goodness for that!

P.S. The site ALSO suggests who the new Bond is, though it hasn't been confirmed quite yet.

I'll give you all a clue - this guy has a HULKING presence...

Got it yet?

Sure?

It's Eric Bana...

I dunno if that info is acurrate, but I like Eric Bana much much much

well thank god for this news. OB is not Bond material.

Absolutely not!

I think we all agree on that

Djee guys! OF COURSE it's false! I'm actually rather disappointed you didn't got that straight away!

the rights, up to my knowledge, for bond are EXCLUSIVELY for MGM and Broccoli. They got the rights from Flemming who gave it (he wrote it in his will) to his editor.
So... NO movies about his youth, NO Orlando Babyface Bloom

And thank god for that!

yeah, but rumors never die ... like Tomorrow

What's Tomorrow Never Dies? I only call it by its proper name, Tomorrow Never LIES. Silly press secretary and her typo ...

but it has a nice meaning now

If nonsensical ...

it's my opinion after all

and tomorrow does never die ... does it?

Except when it's over ...

you're such a pessimist

It's true though ...

but if diamonds are forever, then the world can't die

Actually, some scientific studies have shown that diamonds can be shattered if pressure is applied in a certain direction. So technically, if you think about it, diamonds aren't really forev ...

Oh, what do I know? Of course the world can't die! Of course ...

*sighs of relief* I just knew it


have you heard about Bloom being Bond? oh wait... that's the topic of this thread...what a joke

Thank goodness!!! I should've known better - if it were true, there would be clear-cut signs: permanent darkness, owls hooting incessantly, blood weeping from the walls, that kinda thing. Shame on me ...

well, the blood is on the wall, but there are no owls in Los Organos

There's BLOOD on your wall ? But why would there be ... gasp! Are you the notorious yerss "the drill" valesquez, the most notorious criminal in Europe, reported to have drilled into the brains of over 35 people ?

yeah, my knife slipped yes, those people claimed that Bloom would be the new Bond, I needed that out of their head

We all did ...

did believe it, or?

We all needed it out of our heads

I take only 12 year old girls believed it ?

Um ... of course

I don't know if somebody already posted this but I saw somewhere that Julian McMahon (He appears in a show called Niptuck) is very serious in being the next James Bond and that he is already being considered for the job

yeah, actually Kal, he's mentioned in a thread elsewhere

it's great to see you're still ontop of things

Now now yerss, play nice ...

I was playing nice I was really happy she still took time to follow the news

Sorry ... thought you were being sarcastic

I wouldn't dare to be sarcastic to Kal

Oh ... erm, sorry.

hey, I would have said the same if I were you

Miramax was set to publish a series of 'Young James Bond' novels in spring 2005 together with Ian Fleming Publications. According to The Post, Miramax executives will not comment on the division's future.
