Hey, I was curious who you guys think should be the proper replacement for Pierce Brosnan? Personally, I think it would be too good to be true if Clive Owen was named the new Bond, especially given that the next film will be "Casino Royale" (arguably the grittiest and darkest Fleming novel), and is supposed to mark a stylistic shift in the 007 series…

Jude Law might be a few years away, but it's his job to lose.

This is really my topic. I'm a huge Bond fan. The first movie I remember seeing was Dr.No.

It's too bad Dalton lost the role, as he was, IMHO, the best Bond since Connery. They were thinking of Dalton as a replacement for Connery as far back as '69.

Well, they've had a Scotsman, an Englishman, a Welshman, an Aussie…and even a Mick. I think the next Bond should be an American. What about Matthew Lillard? What about Edward Norton?

If you gotta go Brittish, then why not Ewen Bremner or Robert Carlyle.

Jude Law? No way. He's a wuss. Keanu Reeves could whup his ass.

It's good to see Bond returning to Fleming-authored material. Casino Royale is a great choice, but I seriously doubt they will follow the book in anything but name. Bond has gotten waytoo superhero-like! What happened to films like FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE? That was a good spy caper. Nothing fantasticly science fictional there.

And why doesn't NASA turn over the operation of it's space launches to SPECTRE? Did you see MOONRAKER? Twenty shuttles launched at once…and not a missing tile! That's a proven success record.

Interesting choice in Daniel Craig. I've only ever seen him as a bad guy. Good actor. Menacing. I would have preferred Clive Owen, but I understand why he didn't want to do it. You don't want to be pigeonholed.

This story is bupkis. Just an overblown rumor. There is still hope Owen could get it and save the franchise. Don't know if anyone else has read the original novel "Casino Royale," but Owen would be too good to be true in the role for this story. It would be great if the Bond people starting making really gritty spy thrillers again like "From Russia With Love", "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (the best Bond film imho) and "For Your Eyes Only." And if I was a studio exec, I would pay John Barry whatever he wants to do the music (the music has been pretty consistently dreadful since he left).

Well, for starters, Hugo Drax was ejected into space by Mr. Bond. But more to the point, Drax was not affiliated with SPECTRE. He was just a diabolical eco-terrorist who misinterpreted Nietzche.

Robbie Williams!

Seeing as we seem to be picking people who can't act.

Then they need Blofeld. In YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE he's gotta rocket that can re-enrty and land vertically on the same pad it launched from. That, plus it's reusable with minimal turnaround time.

Amen to that. OHMSS was a good one. Add THUNDERBALL to that short list. John Barry's not gonna live forever. They need a solid composer, though one who'll stay consistent with the series.

I read somewhere that Demi Moore is filming a movie as a female 007, I don't remember where though.

Brosnan 'will stay on as 007'
By Metro
27 April 2005

Pierce Brosnan will play James Bond in the next 007 film, co-star Dame Judi Dench has revealed

The 51-year-old will reprise his role as the suave secret agent in Casino Royale, she said.

'Despite the fact that everyone on the face of the Earth has been tested as his possible replacement, Pierce will be doing it again,' added Dench, who plays M in the movies.

'It will be announced come the summer.'

The soundtrack music ought to be done by the James Taylor Quartet, IMHO.

No true Bond fan would say that…Steve Earle could play a better Bond than Dalton did.
