Who Should Be the Next Bond?

Clive Owen (i think the name is correct). He made 8 BMW short-films (one with Madona directed by Guy Ritchie).
That's the other (Hugh Jackman and Colin Ferrell being the other names) I've heard.
Bloom would suck, he cant act, he has no charm and he is too young and skinny. Bond is a man not a boy.

Yeah that's him 😄 Thanks! But I've never seen what he looks like 😖

And no, not Ewan ❌ He IS too young too... Or looks too young at least!

I think the only thing he's done is the BMW short-films.

according to imdb he did more:

WOW! Well mostly on tv.
He's in Beyond borders??!! That explains the pic I saw of him and Angie.

see, kes, you don't know your actors 😛

I wont ever watch a new bond film if they cast OB they could at least get some1 who can act he was so wooden in lotr

general concensus of Bond fans is that it's a terrible idea ... up to the POTC section 😉

okie according to yerss:

Brosnan's latest bio on his official site piercebrosnan.com states he will be returning in Bond 21, set for release on November 18th 2005

"To the delight of Bond fans and at the urging of Bond producers, he has agreed to a fifth film as 007."

The statement was made on Thursday 4th March 2004, well after the recent `Brosnan axed` tabloid hype.

Fire: I seriously doubt they will ever get bloom to play 007, he's too young

when early news came out about james bond 21, they made it sound like they were going to tell a story of bond's past when he was 21 to get more viewers and all. scratch that idea i guess.

Well, it would be interesting to see that! As long as it is presented within the "bond style".

but a backflash is not very bond-like

JAMES BOND: YOUR VIEWS (Skynews)

Rumours are rife that Pierce Brosnan has starred in his last Bond film.

Already the Irish actor has hinted the makers of the Bond films have not yet decided if he is to carry on in the role that has captured the imagination of the world.

As speculation has grown about Brosnan's future, names of his possible successor have been bandied around.

But who do you want as the next 007?

Thanks for sending us your views. Here is a selection:

Me!! Ill even do it for nothing if Angelina Jolie is my Bond girl.
Ryan, Dudley

I think if the likes of Orlando Bloom and Jude Law were to play such a demanding role at an extremely young age they would struggle immensely. I say stick with Brosnan for a while and wait for the others to age a bit or alternatively don't make anymore Bond films because they are beginning to get tedious now as they are all nearly the same.
Hanna

It's an established fact that James Bond is a Commander in the Royal Navy. You can't have freckle-faced actors taking the role for that very reason. If you want that, go and watch Spy Kids

Pierce has surpassed himself as James Bond - why change him when there is no need? He is fabulous. Let him at least do one more film... please?
Rachel, Essex

I think Pierce has been a great Bond. I wish the films had more thought to them. I've always thought Ewan McGregor with short dark hair would be a good Bond. Who ever he is, he needs to be British. Daniel, Cheshire

Hugh Jackman as Bond? Remember the last Aussie to play Bond? Bond from the Bristish Isles please and another one from Pierce.
Darran Hoare

Pierce has been the only one who is in the position to surpass Sean Connery. He has done exceptionally with the role of James Bond and should be given some latitude as to how the Bond series should continue in the future.
Kim

How about Alfie Moon?
Catherine, Wallasey

I would love to see Pierce stay on to be Bond but in his absence my choice would be Dougray Scott. He has the right looks and charm and a wonderful voice.
Helen, Gloucester

Whoever is behind the decision to bring in a new Bond needs to be shown the ejector seat and given a test flight. Pierce Brosnan is second to none when it comes to playing 007 so leave him be.
Royston Crandley, Berkshire

I would love to see Pierce Brosnan stay on longer as James Bond. He's still very youthful and has a lot to offer. I don't think that the likes of Orlando Bloom or Jude Law could pull off the role yet.
Rachael, Cheshire

Another Pierce Brosnan one please.
Glynis O'Sullivan, Ireland

I think Nigel Harmen (Dennis Jr from Eastenders) would be good.
Susan Longley

The current James Bond is the best ever. You cannot outsource James Bond now we have a good one. They should keep him.
John, Germany

Why mend something that isn't broken? We currently have the most suave, handsome, charming, "tongue-in-cheek" Bond there has ever been. Why on earth would they even dream of giving the job to someone else?
Anita, Long Eaton

ummm dude there is a James Bond section

http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f65/

this will be moved 😉

Moving to the James Bond forum.
Moving--moved

A prequel?

Personally, I think they should do one or two more with Pierce. He's gotten very conformed to the role over the four movies he has already done and his ability to portray bond rivals even Sean C., 'cause it all boils done to a few things. How real can they make the fights look? How good are they at not over-doing the role and just being uber corny? Are they putting out a 007 flare, getting the ladies without looking like an ass? Pulling off the corny 'Bond Puns' when they kill someone and not sounding like an idiot? But after a few more films from Pierce, I'm sorry to say, I think Bond should die off. THe idea behind him has become so warped and the storylines that writers are pulling out of their butts are so unrealistic at times, well, it's depressing. All of the great Ian Fleming stories have been eaten up, so not much more can be done. I say, do a remake of the Pink Panther spoof 'Casino Royale' and make it serious, and based off of the Fleming Novel, and then possiblky make one or two more 007 films, and then let him die, in some dramatic, world-saving effort.

I agree.

Ohh, that's just silly 😖 Pierce cannot play Bond forever, he's... what? 50? 🙄
