Call me crazy, but I think that Jude Law would make a good Bond.

Jude Law wouldn't be a bad choice if they do decide to go the younger route, which sounds like a strong possibility.

Rough and rugged?!?

 

Jackman could definitely do Bond. He did the suave thing in that movie with Meg Ryan too.

So he does musicals...I don't see how this affects anything I said.

The point I was taking up is that he doesn't necessarily always look "rough and rugged" as you put it. He would be more than capable of switching to the well-groomed, suave Bond character.

Alexis! I never thought of that before. He would be such a cool Bond.

 

Old school Wes is insanely cute.

Yes, but I wasn't talking about him portraying characters. I was talking about how he looks.

Off that list, definitely Christian Bale but I wouldn't mind seeing Ewan McGregor play Bond, especially after seeing 'Down With Love'.

 

:headbang: to having Ade Edmondson in the list.

I'm not familiar enough with British TV to really guage the options:

 

- Ewan MacGregor is too short, and too big a star. Plus, he strikes me as a guy who'd play it like Roger Moore anyway.

 

- Hugh Jackman is a possibility, except he's involved in a LOT of franchises right now, and may not want the added burdan.

 

- Guy Pierce isn't physically intimidating enough.

 

- Denzel is too American. Could he even do an accent?

 

- Bond should really be a little known.

Here's a name out of left field...

 

Orlando Bloom ?

No thanks. Bloom's a fairy, he really wouldn't be convincing.

 

Not sure about the comment of Guy Pearce not being "physically intimidating enough". Since when was Bond physically intimidating???

Denzel did a british accent in Much Ado About Nothing.

 

 

My suggestions

 

Anyone but Bloom.

 

There are a good number of good young fresh unknowns out there...try them out instead of grabbing some "known" name who might fit the "archetype" of what bond is supposed to be.

 

It wouldn't be bad to change the character a little...I'm not saying he needs to become Gangsta Rapper on Crack...but little subtle changes.
