Looks like Rush sealed the deal for Idris. He's the next Bond James Bond.

>> He’s the next Bond James Bond.

The malt liquor companies are already scrambling for product placement!

And white blonde-haired women are queuing up to read for the part of “Bond Ho”.

Yeah, that worked out great for “The Wild, Wild, West”.

I guess 20 or 30 people must have seen it.

The Brits produce good actors who stand the test of time.

Mr. Katanga in Raiders of the Lost Ark ended up as Kingsley Shacklebolt in the Harry Potter movies.

Maybe 008 or some such thing. But as James Bond, NO!

Do not care in the slightest. James Bond movies lost it when Sean Connery stopped starring. Those other clowns were a joke, and now they want a negro Bond?

Why not a Chinese or Eskimo Bond?

As opposed to Owen Wilson and Kevin Kline?

Hollywood would screw it up no matter what.

Ian Fleming said he imagined Bond as looking like Hoagy Carmichael, very average looking and not someone you would notice or remember. That would be perfect for spy craft.
