[4 Ur Eyez Only]

I saw this on another message board..


Channel 4 News (UK) have reported that Geoffrey Moore, son of seven-times 007 Roger Moore, is not too pleased with the candidates potentially lining themselves up to take over when Pierce Brosnan steps down.

Geoffrey apparently has "hit out at reports Australian actor Hugh Jackman will become the next 007 - claiming the role should go to a British actor."

Moore Jnr - who has previously been tipped to take on the role himself - was horrified when he heard the X-Men star is favourite (according to certain parts of the media, most commonly those based in Australia).

He fumes, "It couldn't be him. Even if Jackman could do a perfect English accent, it just wouldn't be the same. You might as well have Brad Pitt and go the whole Hollywood route."

The 37-year-old is equally dismissive of British choice Clive Owen.

He snipes, "He'd be a Bond in the Timothy Dalton mould."

We assume Geoffrey Moore didn't like Timothy Dalton's portrail of 007.

I'd say that's a pretty safe assumption.

[BONDFINESSE 007]

its to bad geoffrey does not play the part of bond, he might do a good job, like father like son sorta thing

[4 Ur Eyez Only]

does geoffery have allot of acting experience? doesn't he run resturants??

[BONDFINESSE 007]

i never seen a photo of him, nor do i know what he looks like, but with the name moore i am sure he can do it like dear old dad

[Tarl_Cabot]

He snipes, "He'd be a Bond in the Timothy Dalton mould." "

That means he would be better than his old man*!

*Runs for cover from Dlibrasnow's sniper bullet*

George was an Aussie and he was also better than Moore so I could care less about this guy's opinion*.

You missed Dsnow! :cool:

if snowie misses dont worry tarl cause i always have snowie,s back...if he should miss.... i wont:)

Did I mention that Tim, George and Of course Roger were much better than Pierce?

Roger's son should shut his ****ing cake hole. He will not be Bond. Ever. His old man should never have got the part but George had this silly idea that it was wise to be David Lee Roth. Thank the 'Australian' for your trust fund. Your old man had his moments but he wore out his welcome(Fire engine chase in San Francisco?).

*Hides from more bullets from Dsnow... :eek:

[Bondian]

Hi,
Geoffrey Moore is like his father very good looking. He played Rogers Father in 'Fire Ice and Dynamite', a Willy Bognor 'Extreme Sport' movie.

I cannot remember anything else he's done except he COULD play Bond with a little 'support' and 'training' from EON and Roger. You know, like Connery and Lazenby.

Hi Tarl_Cabot.

I say ol boy, that's pretty strong language there.

I think Rogers best acting was when the 'monkey' went to grab his arm in OP just before he dressed up as a clown.

Seriously I like all the Bond Actors for different reasons. Roger has a great sense of humour which I feel is overlooked by his critics.

All the best,

Ian

[killkenny kid]

Better than Brosnan? Hey Tarl, I thought we were friends. Hide from Dsnow all you want. I never miss.

[Tarl_Cabot]

Roger's son will always champion his father's Bond. That's natural. If he doesn't like the next guy that's his opinion. So what? If he truly loves the James Bond character than he should read the books and be open to non-Rogeresque interpretations. Dalton was very different from Roger and I would not have it any other way. Different styles make the series worth watching. Jackman is Australian but he can do Bond very well.He will not do a Kevin Costner Robinhood debacle. I support Jackman as the next guy but I'd prefer an unknown.

[Tarl_Cabot]

We are but we can disagree.I have body armour on.

P.S. I like all the Bond actors but lately I'm annoyed with Pierce. He's the only Bond star to have two consecutive films have 3 year intervals, at his request. That doesn't not please me to have to wait an extra year. As for his films, I have been dissapointed buy the "new and improved" era. So much hype has been written about how great he is and how awful his predecessor was. Well I don't buy it. I liked those box office failure films and think they are much better than the forgetable entries of the last 7 years. But I would hope Pierce finally gets a great swan song. He does deserve it.

Hello again Tarl_Cabot,


I fully agree with yur last two posts matey.

All the very best,


Ian

[Tarl_Cabot]

Thanks.You're too polite.

[killkenny kid]

Well, this will make you feel better. None of Brosnan's have topped The Living Daylights" But I still like him. I don't blame him as much as the bad writting.

[Tarl_Cabot]

I always knew Brosnan would inherit the role from Dalton eventually since he was so young in '86. I even rented his films so I would grow acustomed to him. I have seen most of his movies post Remmington Steele: The Decivers,Taffin,Livewire,Mr. Johnson,Fourth Protocol,Detonator. I really wanted to like him and his films but they don't compare to the two films of the late 80s for me;I really liked Tim's original but Flemming like effort. I really did give Pierce a chance. A lot of Roger fans wouldn't give Dalton as much of an open minded audition as I did. I just haven't been impressed with any of the films since '95. There have been some cool scenes but no home run film yet. I hope it happens...

Thank you Tarl_Cabot,


I like to be friendly and honest. It ( did ) Makes the world go around. There's too much hatred today!!.


Cheers,


Ian

p.s. I watched TLD and LTK the other day and I must say that they always seem fresh and new. There's no real 'pretence' about the movies. The story and action just flows like a pen. There's no sudden cut's and jarring editing.

I still think that's it's a real shame that Timothy couldn't play the part again, but again where would they of gone from LTK?.

Cheers,

Ian

I don't blame him for bad writing either but I do hold him acountable for making uis wait three years instead of two! :mad:

I always thought LTK created enormous possibilities. Having Bond coninue as a "rogue agent" for a couple of films would have been awesome! He could have been a body guard/detective/assasin for hire while evading MI6...It depresses me to think how this opportunity for the series to take radical directions was lost. It would have been so bitchin'...Tim deserved a third film. Roger was not very popular until he made TSWLM. Tim didn't get that 3rd film to cement his status with the general public as 007. sigh. Damn lawsuit!!!

I agree Matey. Just a sad end to an honest Bond.

tarl you know that old saying...its not nice to mess with mother nature? well it aint nice to get moore fans stired up cause we are a mean bunch;)

Speak for yourself, finesse. Although, it's generally not a good idea to look me directly in the eyes.

:eek:

[Icephoenix]

As far as I'm concerned, the role could be played by either an actor from the UK or Australia. I don't know why, but it just seems normal that a fella from Oz could play Bond. Maybe it's the whole commonwealth thing, and the countries being so similar (for obvious reasons). And there is the fact we've already had an Aussie in the role.

[Tarl_Cabot]

Yes I agree. Aussies are fair game but I would not be thrilled if an American were considered(even though I'm one myself). Comparing Jackman to Brad Pitt is silly, especially since we've already had, as you pointed out, an Aussie Bond. Mr. Moore's son obviously has delusions of walking in his fathers footsteps.

[Xenobia]

Has anyone got a picture of Mr. Moore, Jr?

-- Xen

[Tarl_Cabot]

yeah really. I can get in a great workout this morning(taking pot shots at Mr. moore)!

[DLibrasnow]

I think Rogers best acting was in the movie "Shout at the Devil" - he was great in that picture...

As for Tarl's comments I have just one thing to say

SEVEN BOND MOVIES!!
