Who should the next bond be?

Hugh's good, I'm sure he could adapt.

Clive Owen is a pretty good actor in my books, but he just doesn't have the Bond look or charisma. Craig doesn't have that look either, but then again he's apparently quite a few people's favorite Bond, so what do I know...

I just thought of Daniel-Day Lewis.

He would be awful as Bond. Same for Jackman.

Moore was 58 when he stopped playing Bond! That is why the new one shouldn't be too old. If you look at Brosnan, he already had some grey hair in Die Another Day.

Roger Moore did one Bond film too many; he acknowledges it. That's why he was 58 by the time A VIEW TO KILL came out. It's his least favourite one.
And he was coming off a run of seven Bond films in twelve years. That's more than Connery, who did his first five films in a five year span, before coming back for one more four years later. So Moore was doing Bond for too long. I think any actor doing Bond, if he's not starting in his late twenties, should be limited to four-five films max.

He shouldn't have done any Bond movies, they all suck.
I agree with the limits, but there are always 2-3 years between the bond movies meaning at best 8 years and at worst 15 years, someone who is 40 will thus end up being 55 in the last one: way too old!

Why?
Great actor, but he's 52 years old.

I am all in favor for Cleve Owen to take the role.

Clive Owen, unless he's too old by the time we need a new Bond.

He wont be trust me.

I would have to go with Clive Owen, or Gerard Butler, or hugh jackman.
With those 3 you'd have to get Q back in it and actually have some humor in it.

Here's a fun one Ray Park he is from Scotland, and could actually pull of the stunts, but i don't think he has the finesse for that, but then again neither does Craig really. Ray Park would kick ass in the fight and chase sequences.

Clive Owen turns 47 in October. He'd be in his mid-50's by the time the role became available. Time has passed him by as a candidate.

Diddy

SEAN CONNERY!!!!! He can do what Harrison Fords done with Indiana Jones...with the whole - "I'm still awesome even though i started wetting the bed and shitting my pants again"

Why Not?

I've heard rumours that a possible choice, for the next James Bond, is Alex Reid- the cage fighting boyfriend of british model Jordan aka Katie Price. He has acting experience, as he used to be in hollyoaks, a british soap.
