Actor Daniel Craig is to be the next James Bond, it has been reported.

He has been offered a three-film deal by producer Barbara Broccoli, according to The Sun......

Dougray Scott

Totally wrong for the role, but yummy nonetheless.

This means that fellow British actor Clive Owen may still be in the running to take over from Pierce Brosnan. Other names mentioned to play the 007 role have included Eric Bana, Jude Law, Heath Ledger, Ewan McGregor, Dougray Scott and Australian Hugh Jackman.

Ok:

Craig- wrong for Bond, but perfect for a Bond Villain.
Bana - wrong for Bond, but perfect for "Jack Ryan, Jr." if "Teeth of the Tiger" movie ever gets made (maybe a tad too old, but still...).
Law - gives me the creeps. He'll always be "Gigalo Joe."
Ledger - Too... fluffy. Should stick with teeny-bopper movies.
McGregor - totally wrong for Bond. Totally wrong.
Scott - should do another movie soon - just not Bond
Jackman - has possibilities. May be a bit scruffy for Bond.

Hands-down Clive.

Yup.

[Choose Ye This Day]

Amen to that.

Clive Owen has badmouthed the Bond series several times during press junkets for Sin City. I heard him say nasty things about Bond movies on that PBS talk show that I can never remember the name of.

I bet that put the end to his job hopes with the Brocollis.

I found him to be a snob.

[bigsigh]

too bad and no class
