Phoenix
I vote for Ewan McGregor - and I know there's at least one vote for Colin Farrel on here...

What d'ya think?

mechmoggy
Well there shexy lady, I really think I ssshould be the nexsht Jameshhhh Bond. wink

Augeybana
I always hated Bond he's movies suck no offense.

KidRock
How many more movies is pierece brosman gonna make? I hope at least 2 more. Hes good.

duffy
Iv heard he is makein one more!
I just hope they dont do sumthing stupid like kill off bond and carry the series on with jinx cause that would b the WORST thing eva!!!

KidRock
I predict the Bond movies will make about 50 more movies lol then it will end. That would probley go thourhg like 20 diffrent bonds.

buffymitch
first of all. the last bond movie sucked big time. Pirce brosnan can make another one only if it's good. otherwise they can just choose a new bond. I would'nt mind Colin Farrell. The Jinx is hopefully just a one time thing. Would you really want to see Jinx in her own spinn of???? NO

yerssot
I'm a JB fan, so I have to reply smile

Pierce WILL return ONE MORE TIME.
and Ewan just got voted best JB by the public of a magazine, not by any movieproducers.

And people, I'll be angry when someone wants an american JB! He's british and will stay it!

I personally like PB ...

"Beg your pardon, forgot to knock"
"James Bond, stiff-assed brit"

"Well, half of everything is luck James."
-"And the other part?"
"Faith"

Kes
Actually the idea for Bond came from a Russian spy! lol Don't like Ewan. There's this actor I'm not sure his a Brit but he is the lead in the movie Mimic?! Also bad guy in The net I think is name is Jeremy or something!He would be cool!

Kes
Found it Jeremy Northam.cute and charming!

Omegaman
Please do no let it be Ewan, he would suck as Bond!

Kes
I agree, I don't think he has it. And he is to young. Or atleast looks young!

KidRock
Die another Day wasnt that bad.

yerssot
wasn't Broc. a "spy" too?

Kes
confused please explain? lol eek!

yerssot
nevermind, I'm wrong I take
what is his first name?

BackFire349
colin ferril

Kes
you mean the spy? if that's it i haven't got a clue.

finti
Ian Flemming the dude who made James Bond was a spy

Kes
Ah. i thought the idea came from a russian spy.

yerssot
ah, yes remember it again, thanks finti
Ian Flemming wrote the book and was a "spy" (or so the story goes)
he met the queen once who once said to him:
"you have lovely eyes"
so he closed every letter with two eyes and an I (from Ian)
but in his handwriting it looks like he wrote 007

Kes
how lovelly!

yerssot
of course

why not go back and take George Lazenby as JB?

Kes
whose that? confused

yerssot
the one who played james bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Kes
oh blah

yerssot
not a good bond?

Kes
Man that guy was so lame nobody remembers him! When tv here decides to play the saga they leave that one out!

yerssot
well, it WAS a stupid story

do they leave Timmothy Dalton out too?

Kes
No. But only because he is or was goodlooking and does have some sex appel.

yerssot
hou have to be kidding, right?

Kes
What ? he was! dark hair, blue/grenn eyes (cant remember!) Better looking than Roger Moore! (This doesn't mean I think Roger Moore was a bad Bond, I think he was ok. After Pierce and Sean! lol)

yerssot
and IMHO Roger More wasn't good looking at all!

Kes
big grin lol

snazzypants
... wait for it... apparantly ralph fiennes, you know, that dude in the english patient sick he makes me puke i really dont think he will be good AT ALL but apparantly pierce is doing another 3!!! hes too old by now tho. bunny

go bunny go!!

Kes
i like ralph fiennes but dont think is bond material. to dramatic.

yerssot
got ok-ish looks, but that's all

and another THREE??? are you ABSOLUTELY sure?

Kes
I read somewhere that it was only 1 more. i mean he is getting old! but times did elect him sexiest man so!

Phoenix
has anyone seen relph fiennes in a movie version of Wuthering Heights? He had SERIOUS dark, sexy, bad boy look going for him as Heathcliff!

yerssot
no, I just searched some pics on google smile

Kes
Oh so thats what its called in english, man I have been tring to remember the english title for ages! lol I love that movie! Ralph looks soooooooo fine!!! eek! big grin

diegocala
How about...drumroll please!

Vin "unleaded" Diesel

Phoenix
Nah

yerssot
he's not british, out of the question

BackFire349
sean connery wasnt british either.

Phoenix
well, technically, he was, British means from Great Britain, which is another name for the UK. Youd be right if you said he wasnt ENGLISH, but the necessity for bond is just that he's british, not english

yerssot
he was a scot and one of the best smile

ya, phoenix; otherwise it was
"James Bond, English secret service", which is stupid of course

Kes
Ok. So he has to talk funny! lol just kinding. The accent or better pronounciation (sp) of the words is what makes it work! Totally agree he must be a Brit. But please not Jude Law or Ewan they are 2 young!

yerssot
ewan doesn't have the looks for it, imho

mah
Jude Law? YES

Kes
No his a kid.

Phoenix
I like Ewan...

Phoenix
What about Orlando Bloom? Now he is FIT!

Kes
Their kids!!!!! Bond is a man!

Phoenix
*sulks*

Kes
LOL Came on Phoenix it says your from england, cant you think of a Brit actor that would work? Does it eally have to be an actor knowne world wide?

Phoenix
well, they are Brits... they just happen to be world acclaimed as well...

Phoenix
All my fave Brit actors are either young (Billy Boyd, Ewan, Orli) or OLD (Ian Mckellan, Patrick Stewart) or just wouldn't really fit the Bond role (Alan Cumming, Alan Rickman)

Kes
lol I dont know Alan Cumming may be cool! lol with Alan Rickman as the villan! lol

Phoenix
Alan Cumming would be groovy... And it'd be cool for him to be Scottish finally... altho he does a cool english accen too... nah! I prefer scottish!

Kes
lol

squarn
hugo weaving aka agent smith

squarn
hugo weaving aka agent smith

Phoenix
Nah... gotta be British... He's cool tho, but he's not british!

Kes
kinda starting to go bald.Bond has to have a head full of hairbig grin And missing the charm!

Phoenix
I could see him as a villain!

Kes
Def. a villain.big grin

Tevesh
who ever it is, just NOT Keanu Reeves

Kes
That would be impossible!

twixety
This will be controversial. But my vote goes to Matthew Perry. I know he isn't British, but I think he could carry off the role really well.

If I had to choose a British actor to play the part of Bond, I would probably have to agree with the earlier posts voting for Mcgregor. He would fit the Connery image pretty well.

Kes
Is face is always so red! Nobody would believe is a Brit! wink

Anonymo
HUGH JACKMAN
ADRIAN PAUL (HighLander Show)
GERARD BUTLER
Jeremy Northam
JUDE LAW (Always been a fan, but he is really skinny)

Future Bonds

skule
Actually i honestly dont think there is anyone left out there that can carry off Bond well anymore, when Timothy Dalton was out i knew that Brosnan would do a good job just by his role on remington steele even though his charcter was on the comedic side at times, however he did have the "look". After reading all your posts on the various actors, i think there perhaps only Hugh Jackman may be a good choice, ewan, orlando bloom etc could never play bond, Bond's role is that of an aging playboy secret agent, not a boy agent!!! unless they wanna totally revamp the role and make it a young agent, and destroy the franchise
I think pierce is awesome as bond, but no one can ever be Connery as Bond he was the coolest!

Kes
I think Jeremy Northon can pull it off!I think he has the look!

skule
Hmm remind me who he is again??? Which movie was he in? evil face

Kes
He was in Mimic. That movie with Mira Sorvino and those engenired bugs that grow a lot! He played her husband. And in The Net he played the bad guy that seduces Sandra Bullock.

BondJamesBond
Hugh Jackman would be great!

Kes
yeh it might work!smile

BondJamesBond
*ahem* I think I would do an excellent job... roll eyes (sarcastic)

Kes
LOL smile

Senor_Pessoba
lol indeed

G.P
I think Ralph Fiennes would be great...he's 40, british and goodlooking

Mitsubishi
I think Ron Jeremy would make a good James Bond, myself.

Disappear
you love nut sack, you stupid satellite *****...

Senor_Pessoba
whoa...tone down the language eh?

Disappear
just making fun of josh for thinking about porn stars right off the back...

Senor_Pessoba
oh..gotcha

Kes
how about jeremy irons (sp)?

rickidog
To be honest after seeing the Transporter, with a bit of Queen's english instruction I feel Jason Statham would make a cracking Bond, he has the presence and the toughness to carry on where Pierce will leave off, the cahracter needs to keep that tough edge he's aquired sinced Licence to Kill, although I'm sure I'll be in the minority.

I suppose we could get another Aussie (Eric Bana maybe?) but you never can tell with Eon pictures what they will pull out of the bag...

G.P
Yeah he's elegant and handsome enough but he'too old ! He's 65 !
And when you take a look at the age of the previous actors when they made their 1st JB 007:
Sean Connery 32
Roger Moore 45
PB 42

Kes
65! what?! Actually i have no idea how old he is but in Man in the iron mask or whatever it is called he looked good. thou the movie is kinda old stick out tongue

G.P
55... I mean 55 embarrasment embarrasment embarrasment embarrasment embarrasment
sorry... embarrasment


(but not so young to began a career as James Bond)

Kes
well if he looks good!stick out tongue

skule
55 is still to old , i think the bond charecter is like a 40 plus year old aging guy. Jeremy Irons is a good actor but his a bit to aged for Bond i think, Ralph Finnes is a good actor but a little more on the dramtic side ( i guess u could say that about PB as well as he takes on new roles!)
I honestly think Hugh Jackman would be the best contender for now, good looks as well as that naughty boyish charm that the bond charecter has. Didnt i hear once of that british singer, Robbie Williams wanting to be Bond??? I also thought i heard of that they thought of making the Bond charecter gay as well ( no offense but i like the idea of bond with gorgeous women then men ! smile )
Well just my opinon!!

Kes
I love Ralph Finnes,he is quite dramatic but he looked cool as Mr.steedstick out tongue


I honestly think Hugh Jackman would be the best contender for now, good looks as well as that naughty boyish charm that the bond charecter has.
Oh YES!!!!LOL


Didnt i hear once of that british singer, Robbie Williams wanting to be Bond???

God no!!!! I think he wants, doubt he ever will! He's totally wrong!erm

skule
Unfortunatly i doubt Hugh Jackman can ever get the part, he is an aussie and not a brit. What if they cast an unknown!?

Kes
So. Not every bond was english. Its all the same. Its just an accent thing!

skule
Hmm all the Bonds were english, as in they were all part of Great Britian, and i think thats the main criteria that bond must be from the UK

Kes
yeh. but elisebeth is their queen to!;p

skule
Elizbeth is still to countries that are memebers of the common wealth but somehow i dont think she has anything to do with picking the next Bond!! laughing out loud

Kes
yeh i was just saying that they are all the same!;p
Like its just the accent. no big deal. i think australian accent is the most similar to the english. way more than irish or scott!

skule
Hmm 'in Australian Accent' G'day, the name is Bond mate, James Bond, btw shall we throw some shirmp on the barbie. Hmmm dunno about taht doesnt sound as good does it!

Kes
If Hugh can make an american accent he can make an english accent!stick out tongue

skule
Yeah he definatly can but the thing is i dont think they allow non British actors to play Bond they never have, unless they decide to change that now seeing as they have run out of choices!

Kes
I think they just cant be americans!stick out tongue

yerssot
hope Brosnan can do some movies more before they have to chose

skule
Ummm isnt that prejudice!!!???

rickidog
Doesn't anyone here remember On Her Majestys Secret Service then?

George Lazenby was an Aussie, and more to the point it didn't work, Hugh Jackman is cool, but more suited to doing a rebirth of Dirty Harry I reckon.

And Australian English, much like American English, bears no resemblance to the language spoken in the UK at all, lets face it the US had to redub Mad Max and even worse The Acid House they had to subtitle for the US market.... so maybe it would be easier to just make Vin Deisel Bond and have it done with (don't get me wrong I am a massive Bond fan, but one day the Hollywood lot will have their way anyway, better sooner rather than later)

skule
Oh he was an Aussie? no wonder they dumped him after one movie heh!!If not Hugh Jackman i dont know who else is able to pull off that role. I like vin diesel but comeone as James Bond!??? Hollywood always wrecks a good thing!Ok not all the time.

Kes
I think , as a foregneir (sp) that aussie is very similer to brit english bisedes (sp) he wouldnt sound like an aussie.
Yerss i love brosnan but he is getting oldstick out tongue I think he just wants to do 1 more.
not prejudice skule,americans are just not very charming and most suck at doing english accents stick out tongue

Kes
dont let 1 bad actor with no charme ruin the rest!

yerssot
definitly wink

age is no problem, look at connery he went on nicely wink

Ushgarak
Could people stop confusing the terms "England" "Britain" and "the UK" please? They are three different things!

There has only been one English Bond actor and that was Moore. Connery was Scottish, Lazenby Australian, Dalton Welsh and Brosnan is Irish. ALL of them have done perfectly convincing cultured English accents so as long as the person can pull of the Bond persona it doesn't matter WHERE he is from.

yerssot
the UK stick out tongue

Kes
yeh. thats what i mean.

Ushgarak
Pierce Brosnan is not from the UK.

yerssot
he is from that big island across the channel, lazenby wasn't that's the problem

Ushgarak
Lazenby was fine as Bond, and was no more far from being English than Brosnan is. And there is more then one island across the channel.

This view that a Bond actor must be English is ludicrous.

skule
Sorry i thought all those consist of Great Britain. i was under the impression Bond would only be played by an actor from Great Britain (not knowing lazenby was aussie) Anyways hows about Harrison Ford as Bond!! Sorry just thought i would throw that out there for fun.

Ushgarak
Like I just said, Pierce Brosnan is not British either.

Ford... well, why not? If he could do it.

yerssot
it was his kilt that did the trick! laughing out loud

Kes
If Jeremy Irons is old than Ford is history!stick out tongue
I know Brosnan isnt english. Didnt know the other guy was aussie thou!stick out tongue
Still think an american would ruin it.
And Great britain is ireland, englad and scotland right?huh

Ushgarak
No. Great Britain is the land mass to the north of France and east of Ireland. The top bit of Great Britain is Scotland, the bit on the left is Wales, the rest is England.

Kes
Ah. ok.

Matt
James Bond Is wIcKed. I reckon they should keep the one they got already or bring ack rodger moore!!!! happy

Reply!
Matt

Omegaman
Even though I am an american , I dont not want to see an american in the role of Bond. It just isnt right! Ian Flemming invented him and he didnt make him an american. At least try to stay as close to Bristish as you can! For me there is and always be , only one Bond and that is Connery!

I could see Colin Ferrel pull it off, maybe?

badass
I reckon Jason Statham. Da Tranporta was cool, and with jason playing Bond it'd be like "'Ere, the names, Bond. Innit!"

Omegaman
Supposely CLive Owen was asked to be the next Bond but he turned it down!

skule
Nahh Colin Ferrel to much of a young punk bad boy, he's what 25???He's a good actor though. cool

skule
Remind me who Clive Owen is again?? roll eyes (sarcastic)

Omegaman
Clive Owen was in Gosford Park and The Borne Identity

nickdamaestro
Now Come on guys
Obviously the new james bond should be Graham Norton????

DUH!

jawdrop smart alien2 1eye

ChinaNiki
i thought they were looking at Dougray Scott

DeNiro
i can tell u who the next bond girl should be and that is Kristnna loken from the terminator movie o yeah she is so ****in hot but i have no clue about the next bond i think they should quite after brosman gets to old because he is deffintly the best bond ever.

KrazyK
Shouldn't James Bond have some sex appeal??? I'm not saying he should be drop dead gorgeous...but he should be pleasant to look at.

Ewan McGregor- good-looking, but not a action type
Gerad Butler- action type, yes...but not well known
Jeremy Northom- Looks, yes...action type, yes

What About Joseph Fiennes..Ralph's little brother?? He fits both types well.
Also remember actors can do accents smile

ChinaNiki
i think Jeremy Northam would fit really well

ragesRemorse
i really diddnt like the last bond movie at all i thought the new style of the movie just took away all the appeal that is james bond, i do like brosnan alot as bond but i heard die another day was his last, i did hear somthing though seeing how it was so popular he agreed for another one. and Jinx NO please NO more, just amke a spin off of halle berry in a bikini thats a better idea than giving her a series of her own

but for a new bond id like to see Jude law, even though that probably couldnt work on any level id still like to see it, any way whoever it is i hope there as young as brosnan was or maybe a bit younger, but id say the best BOND prospect should go to Nick Nolte or Garey busey. BOND would be a drunk that would work in so many ways instead of beating around the bush and finding out as much as he could about the villian with suave moves and fresh speaking he could just go and break a bottle over his head and be like, Bond.... James Bond ***** remember it

ChinaNiki
laughing out loud laughing out loud

Fu'Seth
well i think they should bring back connery for the last bond and make it realistic by JB eventully getting old! that guy has been 34 for 40-50 years! tis incredible smile so i think they should make 1 last bond movie with connery retiring in it!!! and if they wanted to start up a hole new saga called Wesley Brown or sommat like that, then by all means!!!

Korri
Aston Martin Vanquish (my favourite car ever!!) vs a Jaguar XKR on a frozen lake r u kiddin me fan-bloody-tastic eek!

Korri
oh sorry about my earlier post i was just overwelmed with......car madness!

i think Keanu would make a very good Bond i mean he is sexy and looks good in a suit smile and would look good in an Aston...the trademark Bond car love

ohhh all my favourite things rolled into one...its all too much *korri fainted*

Brosnan is signed up to do a fifth and I saw an interview where he
said it'd be nice to match Connery's 6, but we'll see.

New Bond hmm, don't think Ewan would cut it really.

How about Colin Firth or Clive Owen (Chancer) or even Hugh Jackman.

It can't be an American, Jackman may just get away with it.

holdenhsvgtsr
clive owen

ragesRemorse
i still say jude law or nick nolte.....yeah lol

wicker_man
Ioan Gruffoyd (sp) (Titanic,102 Dalmatians and Very Annie Mary) an underated actor but hey so where Dalton/Connery/Moore/Lazenby and Brosnan before they became Bond James Bond lol. smile

jimmy986
is there anyway to get every bond movie together?i know they have a box set but it only has like 7 movies.

wicker_man
In the UK there is a nicely presented tin case complete with all official bond films from Doctor No to TWINE on DVD, id wait though until they actually cease the production of the Bond Films altogether (awful thought i know) and buy a complete set with all official Bond Films in one final presentation set.

wicker_man
Another choice for Bond in my opnion would be Gerald Butler whos most notable performances include Dracula 2000 (also known as Dracula 2001 in the UK),Tomb Raider 2:The Cradle of Life,Mrs Brown and Reign of Fire.
