Yes, but only because Jackman and Owen have said no.

Then again, Adrian might be able to dig deep and surprise us all.

I strongly vote YES and agree with the strong majority of Parade Magazine voters.

I predict that on CBn there will be more "no" than "yehs"--this forum seems to be strong for Owen and Jackman though a fairly solid minority seems supportive or at least open to Paul.

So again a big "YES".

[Moore Not Less]

No.

[Mister Asterix]

A very weak yes.

He

[Harmsway]

Emphatic no.

[Agent 76]

a big rounded : YES!




I prefer him instead of Hugh Jackman , but this is my opinion of course...let's see what Eon come up with this thing..

He got his catchphrase ready: There can be only one!!!!

couldn't say better...

I can imagine Paul with his suit , in a casino scene saying: "Bond , James Bond " - fantastic! he looks perfect for the role.

How big of a hit was Highlander: The Series, overseas?

-- Xenobia

[crashdrive]

No, but don't worry folks, I won't ever happen.

[Loomis]

If Paul were cast, I wouldn't boycott the series.... but I'd come close. I'd be very, very disappointed, and I'd probably wait until DVD to check out BOND 21. In fact, I'd probably go around claiming that Bond died with Cubby (well, I do that already, but you get the idea ). For a number of years now, he's been the absolute last actor I want to see as 007. The reaction others would have to Orlando Bloom or Hugh Grant, I'd have to Paul.

To each his own, though.

[Seannery]

I will say yes,

Funny one chimera01!

I heard it did pretty well overseas--I heard a story that Paul went to Russia and they were all calling him the Highlander over there and he was well known.

Loomis there you go again. I think if you gave him a chance you may be pleasantly suprised. But as you say we all have our various opinions and we are stuck with them!

[Qwerty]

I'd still definitely give the series a chance if Paul was cast as Bond. Wouldn't know completely until I saw him.

[Agent 76]

Orlando Bloom would make a nice Higson Young Bond

I like Adrian Paul, I did like the Highlander series they were fun. Perhaps Paul would be the third succesfull actor that first did very well in a television series. The Saint, Remington Steele & Highlander.

And most of the girl I dated in the time this was on the telly actually though he was very sexy in SC kind of way.

But I have to say that at this point i see a lot of strong contenders, and well see when we get there. And be prepared to start some serious discussion then, because whoever they choose there is no pleasing to a "hardcore" Bondfan.

who knows , maybe Eon will chose another tv sucessfull actor this time, Adrian Paul , ...or not , and then they present Jackman in a press conference.

[Turn]

I thought he would be good years ago but am not sure now even though I voted yes. Highlander is more of a cult show than a mass appeal hit, so I don't know how much that would do for his bringing in people. Not exactly going down the Lazenby/Dalton road as far as being known, but not exatly Remington Steele or The Saint either.

His age worries me too. I'm kind of amazed enough Parade readers remembered Adrian Paul enough to count him in a next Bond survey.

[Gabe Vieira]

That's a big fat 'no' right here.

[Lady M]

A big yes!!!

This man IMHO would make the best Bond since Connery



He has as the quote goes "All the right stuff"

He has a huge following in Europe not to mention if he didn't have enough following I don't believe he could have even touched the top in Parade Magazine!

-- Xenobia

As far as I'm aware. pretty much nothing in the UK (I think it was only shown on Sky One)

But then Remington Steele was nothing over here either so there's no telling from that.

[SPECTRE ASSASSIN]

Hell no!

Perhaps more than you can guess Jim.

Perhaps they are looking for someone who is known to some, but not huge to all.

Someone with cult status, but won't demand a big paycheck.

Someone who can do his own stunts and (yes, I say this with a blush), won't get hurt doing them.

Sounds kina like Bruce Campbell!

[Evil Doctor Cheese]

Yes yes yes... IMO apart from Guy Pearce this guy's the best choice for Bond yet. And I hear he's fluent in french and Italian... no more bad Brosnan attempts at foreign language and he can do martial arts... mayb e a good connery fist fight. Looks wise he looks like he could be loved by all the ladies!

Loomis there you go again.

Sorry. I did try, though. For about 10 minutes.
