Wolverine Passes on 007
Source: ComingSoon.net August 15, 2005

Our Aussie pals at Dark Horizons have turned us on to a story in the latest issue of the Melbourne based newspaper, The Age, which reports that Hugh "Wolverine" Jackman has turned down the opportunity to play Agent 007, James Bond, in the next three films.

He would only have been the second Australian to play the prestigious part after George Lazenby, who only appeared in one Bond film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service back in 1969. According to The Age, Jackman, who was reportedly the frontrunner for the role, turned it down after talking with wife Deborah-Lee Furness, because he didn't feel that he needed to play Bond in order to boost his already high profile career.

He wouldn't make a good JB anyway...

Good news... he'd be shit...

I have serious trouble coming close to even remotely believe this. He himself had admitted once that he started the Bond-rumor and now that he will definitly not get it his friends, that bragged about him being Bond, are trying to save their faces, nothing more I think

wtf

couldn't have said it any better
ah, where is dber when you need him, he would have cracked another nose-joke

What a shame for him.

well, it promises to be one heck of a race...

Campbell wants Goran
Barbara wants Daniel Craig

Does anyone know who is gonna be James Bond for the next flims?

no. no one knows.

Sony wants Pierce back

but the other four don't want him back so it's an ego contest at the moment

i heard pierce doesn't want to be bond any more..

sorry miroku, but the latest he is saying is that he is more than happy to return IF the producers ask him, which will be difficult since they don't want him anymore
