Bond decision this week?
Look, I swear to you that this is the last post I'll do on Bond before something concrete comes out...and really concrete, not rumour from some UK tabloid.
MI6 have made a bold statement that Rope of Silicon carry to say that the speculation over Bond may be at an end this week. Thank the lord!
They go on to say that all of the movers and shakers in the franchise are in LA to iron out the final creases in the plan that will usher in 007 for Casino Royale. Big decisions are being finalized and news is sure to break soon.
Please, please, please. If there's anything left to say on the topic say it now. Otherwise, let's just finalise it for the record. What's the readers opinion, Owen, McMahon, Brosnan or Craig? I guess there are two questions, who do you wish for, and who do you think will?

The way they kept dragging this out. I will most like not want to see it. This stuff pisses me off. I tend to turn my back after awhile.

I agree. The way the press has exaggerated and dragged this whole thing out is pathetic. I really can't stand any Bond right now, after the last crapfest that was Die Another Day. Btw, I really can't stand the main producers of the movies either, Barbara Brocoli and Michael G. Wilson, I think they're doing a horrible job.

Owen would be great choise for the role, but I hope we won't be elected. Good actor, and after seeing Sin City and especially Closer, I think he's pretty much too good actor for just being James Bond next 3-7 years. I mean, there's no need for such a good actor, he can be mr. anyone who has enough charisma. Owen can make great career without status of Bond, what ain't good think after you retire / get fired from the role of 007.

I like Clive Owen too and feel he's too good for this now. Back when he did those BMW "driver" film shorts -- that's around the time when he should have been cast as the next Bond.
Owen is on a roll now and doesn't need this to advance his career. It would probably be a setback ultimately. All this tabloid casting BS has degraded the prestige of the Bond role, and the entire franchise.
Give it to Paul WS Anderson to finally put it out of its misery.

LOL Rich, I cant atop laughing reading your introduction to this post.
Daniel Craig all the way. *winks*

Personally, I think I favour:
Brosnan
Owen
Craig
McMahon
Owen would be mad to blight his career and take this role, especially when it's going so well.

Personally, the best Bond is Brosnan. He's the only one I'll watch. I was under the impression, though, that he had one more film in his contract. I heard the title of it a while back, though I'm not sure if it was official.

Brosnan, followed by the one actor who really should be in the running but isn't (Adrian Paul)

I agree with richard.. Brosnan Owen after that I lose interest, the bond films as of late are getting repetitive and predictable..BUT they still are entertaining.. hopefully they can get the series back to the Goldeneye level.

Fantastic Ray, someone who still finds them entertaining. I genuinely think they are great entertainment. Not a big thinking movie, but a wash over have fun movie. They do need some serious work to get back to being that level though.

Who the hell is Daniel Craig??

Julian should be the next Bond- if not, then Jude Law (even though he's not very masculine). None of the others are attractive or sexy enough.

julian definately, he has the looks and the moves. He thinks he won't get it because he's too old...please roger moore looked ancient next to julian. A younger guy would sem experienced enough to pull off the bond stunts.
