The X-Men star who has been linked to the role for the past 18 months said: "There is something very secretive about the way they cast the role. I've never had an official call asking, 'Are you interested or not?'
"But there's no guy I know that wouldn't want that role - and that includes me. Anyone who says otherwise is lying."
Okay...I just wanna ask something here...does anyone know any actor that DOESN'T take a role for the money?...hell, people have accused Pierce Brosnan of only being interested in the money...and really, who gives a crap...
I would aslo like to get something off my chest....I have seen around the place that people refer to George Lazemby being bad, as if this will automatically mean Jackman will be bad also because of his nationality...Agreed, OHMSS was not a brilliant film, but I will say this and I'll say this only once...
it was LAZEMBY'S DECISION, not to sign on for more than one bond film because he thought the franchise would not last through the seventies...(as quoted from an official james bond movie book and I'll give you the page number etc when I get around to borrowing the bloody thing again) *deep breath*
End Rant
yeah... Bana and Farrell apperently, cause they don't want to play Bond when many rumors claim they have been offerend the role...
I still think Lazenby was a terrible Bond: he did not have the sophisticated manners of Bond, nor his charm (eventhough he was a model somehow), though in credit of him: he had to start in a bad movie: not much action, lots of talk and outspon plotline, combined with what many would never believe of bond: marriage
I just don't believe Jackman would be good simply because I do not think he really has the good look, he's too famous (when I would see him in a Bond movie, I expect him to bring out his claws and kill everyone in a single heartbeat) and I'm not sure about his ability to act since all the movies I saw him in were pretty much the same ...
but that's all imo, of course
you can bet your ass some don't agree 😉
