Thinking about it, who else have they got?

For Bond, you mean? That's what I'm wondering. I can't think of anybody who fits the part better than Brosnan, so I don't know who else they'd pick. Part of the trick to Bond is that he has to be in good shape but can't have too big a build, which rules out the broader-built action types like Bruce Willis, etc. Mel Gibson's got certain aspects of it, but comes with too many associations from previous movies, and his personality doesn't quite fit. Hmmm. . .Maybe Val Kilmer?--if he wasn't so hard to work with on the set.

Val Kilmer's a good choice for Bond, IMO - his role in "The Saint" was somewhat similar. (But cooler than Bond!)

What about someone who doesn't always do action parts? Like the guy who played the president in Independence Day.

Too tan, rugged. And (sorry ladies) too short.

I think Bond really does need to be at least somewhat British.

Is Hugh Jackman British?
