he is always in a lot of british romance comedy's...he usually plays that dorky (yet somehow sexy) british dude hehehe...

so if he could play the role seriously...i think he could probably do it.

other than that i agree with you that they will probably get an unknown guy to play the role...

Brad Pitt is in my top 3 of all time favorite actors, but I don't know if it would be right...he is not British. He would be incredible for the role though. He is just an amazing actor and he would have a hell of a pull at the box ofice.

i'll agree with that. brad pitt is probably my favorite male actor. i mean, everyone knows he's a good looking dude and all, but he really has done a terrific role in almost all of his movies.

like you said...i don't think he could pull off james bond though...

hahaha! Ok...he is my favortie actor too. I figured people would flame saying..."you said that because he is HOT" so I said top 3.

But seriously...he can ACT! No one can argue that. He is brilliant!

.......

YOU JUST LIKE HIM CAUSE HE'S HOT!!!!

in actuality...most guys that i know definitely acknowledge brad pitt as a good actor...even though we're all jealous that the ladies swoon all over him. the man, has some acting skills. i didn't really think it did a very good job in troy though...but i think that was probably the directing and writers fault...

While I know that everyone says "he has to be British blah blah" one must remember that the first two Bonds were a Scotsman (Connery) and an Australian (Lazonby), the fourth was Welsh (Dalton) and the current Bond is an Irishman (Brosnan). So at this point only 1 of 5 (Moore) have actually been English (which I think most people consider as "British" even though you "could" say that Ireland and Scotland and Wales are all "British" because they are in the Isles).

It is hard to say who will be the next Bond. I figure it will be someone like Christian Bale (welsh) or Ewan McGregor (scottish). Though both are now in super hero esque roles with Bale being the new Batman and Ewan still having one more stint as Obi-Wan to go. Of course, someone closer to their 40s might be more the type they are looking for, but when Brosnan was being courted for the role in the early 80s, he was not any older than Ewan McGregor, Chrisitan Bale or Jude Law are now.

I would agree with Brat on this, i think Tom Cruise would fit nice...or maybe Val Kilmer...hmmmm

that's a good point. maybe we shouldn't lump all of those places together as british, but my point is...he can't be an american...that's just stupid. i also think that it should be someone a little older than the young actors you named. i think that both pierce brosnan and sean connery both had an older maturity to them that allowed them to pull it off. perhaps those people you named could be bond...just not the next one...they should give them a few more years to get a little older...

the whole point of James Bond is he is supposed to be one...British...two...sauve and charismatic. it has to be a british dude.

Mike Myers! a.k.a. Austin POWERS!!! He's British and has a helluva sauve and chraismatic persona

Okay I been hearing it's either Colin Farrel, Ewan McGregor or Clive Owen (check him out in BMWfilms). I think Clive is the better the of em b/c he looks like he has an edge about him, IMO.

I know we're searching for British answers, but...what about George Clooney?

Posted by Billabong on Jul-05-2004 23:40:

Jude Law
Damien Lewis

Posted by enferno on Jul-05-2004 23:40:

collin ferrel could pull it off if he could do a scottish/british accent

Posted by DannyO on Jul-06-2004 00:07:

So far I agree with what Trancebrat has been saying, and if I had to choose anyone, I would probably have to go with who trancedental said...Clive Owen, hes got the looks, the edge, hes around the right age, he doesn't look out of place doing stunts, but I dunno about his acting skills, he does have a movie coming out soon, with him as the lead guy, it looks promising, but will have to see, other than that I would say Jude Law with afew more years on him, or umm ME, I'm British, I got the accent, just give me the girls the guns and a nice car and its all good.

Yah George has the age and the charisma.

Jude Law would be a good choice but he does seem a bit too young.

Hugh Jackman would be a good Bond even though he's Australian.

Posted by Special_K on Jul-06-2004 02:48:

Jennifer Lopez

Posted by Lotus on Jul-06-2004 02:56:

I wouldn't choose Val Kilmer or George Clooney for the roles. Anyone remember how they fucked up the Batman movies? I'm not really knowledgeable of British actors, but Ewan might be a good choice. Key word: might.

Posted by A.J. on Jul-06-2004 03:18:

IT CAN"T BE AN AMERICAN ACTOR!

All these people suggesting famous american actors are kidding themselves.

In order to portray the role accurately, and well, the person chosen as the next bond has to be ultra suave, handsome and have a GOOD british accent.

Therefore, i think that they need to be either English, Irish, Welsh, Scottish or possible Australian, as they could pull it off.

Posted by Mr. Pink on Jul-06-2004 03:25:

I think we need to take another direction with the james bond thing...

how about a red head...with a lot of freckles and no suaveness whatsoever- Carrot top!

thats where its at.

that or a member of the Jihad....

Posted by EssentialMix3r on Jul-06-2004 03:32:

I was thinking Jude Law or mabye even Christian bale, if he is not to much into the Batman character.
