Re: New James Bond

I'm not sure they can lose something they've never had...

True, but they might have achieved it... if not for Bond.

God I hate James Bond. I'd love to punch him in

Re: New James Bond

Hugh Jackman could do because it's much easier for Aussie and US actors to learn the British 'king's English' with the help of a good voice coach - look at Johnny Depp, in From Hell and Pirates...and more recently Finding Neverland and Willy Wonka...I saw one of his other films a while ago and was actually shocked, it was like 'Wait a minute...he's an American? Oooooooh yeah, I remember now'

Yep, but as he spend most of his time in South France, he got some trace of this accent in his voice (quite funny and cute to hear on TV). I guess he catches other accent pretty quick.

Leto did you just say his accent was 'funny' and 'cute' ? What's happened to you??!

Spent the afternoon in the sun at Rolland Garros. Didn't have enough water.

Re: New James Bond

Dear God don't let it be an American actor. We'll be hearing all kinds crap about how they butchered up the accent. Which is a very good possability. Unless you choose an actor like Johnny Depp which wouldn't take this kind of role anyway because it's too comercialized. Is there a list anywhere as to whom they are considering for the role?

Re: New James Bond

I don't know about the new Bond, but this is his new French homologue :

Promising, even if the movie - OSS 117 - seems to be coined Z movie even before his release.

Daniel Craig

 

[Rane Longfox]

Vaguely recognise the name. I'm not good with recognising film stars Whats he done before? Looks ok for the role though, I guess. Not another scot, surely?

 

[littlemissattitude]

Bah. It should have been either Hugh Jackman or Ewan McGregor.

Oh, well. I haven't seen a Bond film since "Never Say Never Again". And it wasn't even really an "official" Bond. But it's still my favorite.

Classy Publicity Shot:

He looks suitable, like they cross-bred several of the previous actors and then grew the result in a tank at an accelerated rate.

Positive news from some random article, that will probably dissapoint me later-on:

"They are keen to make 2006's Casino Royale more about the character of 007, and not rely so heavily on gadgets and special effects. With his piercing-blue eyes and cold stare, Daniel is likely to be an edgier Bond than previous incarnations, with an emphasis on the assassin over the ladies' man."

I'm also kind of hoping Littlemiss is being ironic, and feeling myself compelled to urge her to rent Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies, which are the two best post-Moore films (the first is more solid over-all, the second is more fun).

That said, I wil not go into a rant on the state of the modern Bond film, even though I really want to.

I've seen him in a couple of movies and didnt care much for him

No, I honestly haven't seen any of the Bond films after Never Say Never Again. And it really is my favorite, and has my favorite Bond villain. I was raised on the Connery Bond films, and while I've seen a couple of the Moore Bonds (and was pretty much appalled), I've not seen the newer ones. But I'll check for the two you mention. The weather is getting cooler, so it's getting time to start renting again.

 

[Rosemary]

No, I'm sorry but he doesn't look at all like a James Bond
James Bond without his gadgets?

 

[mikeo]

This is probably a terrible thing to say, but when I saw his picture I thought "bail bond, maybe."

 

[polymorphikos]

I think the films are in one of those awkward patches of not knowing what they're supposed to be. Hopefully this'll allow them to work-out a solid identity. And Bond without his gadgets = Doctor No and From Russia With Love.

He's not Bond,can't have a blonde playing the world's most famous spy
