Bond 21: You gotta love the ultra wild (but totally without basis of truth) rumours and today came a doozy - The Jakarta Times indicates David Bowie is keen to take on the role of the next 007 villian.

However, it also means that he can play a villain in future Bond movies. Personally, he may be better off with these options:
>playing a henchman
>playing a character with the same amount of screen time, or the same function as Lachaisse in TWINE
>the theme song
>retiring

As to the lead, why not Arnold? Make him older (60's) and maybe with a beard or scar. If it was well written, he could be a great one. It's not like he couldn't use the work given his last few screen efforts.

This is pure fabrication because there is no such publication called The Jakarta Times.Originally posted by solitaire
I found this little tidbit on the "dark horizens" film website and thought i'd share it with you guys:

There is The Jakarta Post, an English language daily newspaper that I subscribe to, but there has been no mention of this "rumour" in there either.

My point is that I'm merely confirming that this "rumour" is a fabrication.

On further reflection, maybe I should have written: "This rumour is pure fabrication..."Originally posted by solitaire
I'm sorry for overreacting,I just thought I was being called a liar.
Sorry about the misunderstanding, solitaire.

Ground Control to Major Mikey:
Bowie is good for many things...playing a villian...HELL, acting at all...is not one of them!
I'd sooner see James Bond complaining about the noise level at one of Austin Powers' parties, than see Bowie as a villian.
But it was a nice idea Solitare....
