Brosnan fired as Bond!

yes, but they simply found him to be too old. That was all there is to it

A damn shame too. Brosnan was the best Bond in years. He truly was a great "all rounder" Bond; IMHO, he successfully combined the ruggedness and charisma of Connery, the wit of Moore, and the dangerous edge of Dalton. The producers were FOOLS to let him go. Too old for the role? Not a chance! Moore was 57 when he did "AVTOK"! And did you see him in "After The Sunset"? The boy still got the skills.

Honestly, when I read about who they're considering as a replacement it makes me despair. Colin Farrel? Ewan McGregor? Ioan Gruffield?!!! Sheesh!

what did he got from George Lazenby?

and indeed, he still had one to go imo... and they think Clive Owen too, ahnold

What did he get from Lazenby? The ability to throw a mean punch, perhaps 😛 ?

Oh, and I did hear about Clive Owen too. I didn't mention him because, well, if I mentioned him, and Dougray Scott, and Colin Salmon, and every other rumoured Bond contender I'd be here all night!

he missed the one in his hotel room though 😛

of course, and also cause he also rejected it? 😉

Mmm hmm. And so did Colin Farrel and Dougray Scott {the latter's MOTHER rubbished the rumours to the press! That's no joke, folks!}

but Farrell also said he wouldn't do it 😖

don't know of Scott though 😑

That's what I said. Farrel rejected the role, as did Scott {via his mother!}

then you can also mention Jackman cause he wants to

The difference is that I was only mentioning serious candidates that I wouldn't like to be Bond ...

But ssshhh! Don't let Dber hear us talk about this!

*signals the ok to Ahnold*

*signals: what about Cruise?*

Tom Cruise? Too young. If we're going with Americans, what about Clooney?

too old? 😖

Mid forties isn't so bad. Wasn't Pierce in his mid forties when he took the role?

I thought early?

Perhaps you're right. Still - Clooney would be a cool choice ...

he can play batman again, but no bond 😖

I think he'd be a cool Bond, personally. But he's way out of the producers' price range anyway.

I sincerely hope he doesn't play Batman again. "Batman And Robin" was awful ...

he couldn't help the sucky story ... I wonder how he would look like as bond

Clooney, George Clooney ...
