[BONDFINESSE 007]

ok guys, i am going to throw this name out here because i saw it somewhere as a bond candidate.......tom cruise, now i cant see it myself> maybe as far as looks YES but he is not british...he could fake that part i guess. what do the rest of you think?

[RITZ]

He's too small. I've seen him in a tux and he looks silly. I doubt he can do an english accent.

[Mr Trump]

I am not sure that english James Bond would be happy with a American playing James Bond.
Although Connery was scottish and Brosnan is Irish

[JackChase007]

How about Jim Carrey?

[M_Balje]

No.

1. he play's an American Secret Agent in the Missionimpossible movie's and that is good,but not as 007 please.
2. He is American

[JackChase007]

How about Tommy Lee Jones?

Harrison Ford?

Brad Pitt?

Hey! Christian Slater!!!

John Travolta!!!

So many possibilities...

yes he is american, but a good actor can fake a british accent. but thats not why i would not want him as bond, i think he would be to damn expensive

[ChandlerBing]

{coughs} Matthew Perry.

[killkenny kid]

Hey, what about Bruce Willis.

[JackChase007]

Are you people serious? Rob Lowe, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis??? Who next - GEORGE CLOONEY???

[killkenny kid]

God, why didn't I think of Clooney.

[ChandlerBing]

Clooney can do for Bond, what he did for Batman. Someone get Joel Shoemaker on the phone!

[Rich Douglas]

I'm not gonna say a thing.... besides this one measly line. lol
Rich

[killkenny kid]

Hey Shoemaker(?), called. He has a great idea for Bond 21.

[JackChase007]

Yeah! And "AH-NULD" could play M!!!

[Adam]

Tom Cruise is easily the most irritating actor ever...the Bond series is getting bad enough, we don't need this addition

[JackChase007]

I don't think the series is bad to any degree.

[BONDFINESSE 007]

yeah adam what is wrong with the series?

I think $ 20.000000 (

If Tom Cruise is Bond, then surely established heroes such as Q or M will turn out to be the villain, seeming to die early on in the film only to return at the end. Then, once Bond discovers that they will have a huge confrontation involving a helicopter in a train tunnel in which Q or M will be wearing a silly hat and will tragically meet their fate as the helicopter explodes, propelling Bond onto the front of the train windscreen.

hey, im not anti american or anything.....but americans cant do bond....it just goes against the whole thing....anyone agree with me??

[Mister Asterix]

The boy is about a foot and half to short, the wrong look, can barely pull off a reasonable American accent much less a Brit accent.

No.

I'm an American and I agree completely. I don't mind American actors and actresses at all in a Bond movie, but the second there's an American Bond I'll be pissed.

Think is Amercians have copied so much from Bond, tv series, one liners, Bond is a big asset and sort of image for England, and for Amercian actor to play the part, it would sort of being the ultimate mutation of the originator-England of Bond actors=to Amercian-doing their best with many spoofs and copy cats now to have a part in Bond, but Bond will never have his offices in the US or be rewritten as amercian, imagine that, in a way, it would be flattery, us Amercian actors and studios, can't compete with that action man, so we give up, we'll join you, haha.

Remember amercian actors like Cary Grant before Connery being considered for the role? kinda scary, but England-British actors-pretty rare to find a Bond, the gods will tell us when he comes!

I AGREE WITH YOU 100%

[Felix's lighter]

If there was an American actor of some class and distinction these days - a James Brolin type - I could see an American playing Bond. But I can't think of a single modern American actor who could pull it off.

Watching SPEED 2: CRUISE CONTROL on TV the other day (a total waste of time), I thought that Jason Patric had a vaguely Bondian look about him. I remember reading something once that claimed he'd been under consideration as a potential Bond at some point. Not sure how good an actor he is, since SPEED 2 didn't give him much to work with, and I haven't seen anything else he's been in.

I've also heard that John Glen (director of FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, OCTOPUSSY, A VIEW TO A KILL, THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS and LICENCE TO KILL, as I know most of you know) thinks that Russell Crowe would be an ideal replacement for Brosnan.

[YOLT]

Why not Dougray Scott, I think he will make good. I think Enigma was a great film, I want Bond to be a spy not a superman. The problem isnt the CGI, its the story, make a new FRWL OR FYEO İN Brosnans last and collect the oscars. And even Robbie Williams can manage it, he wants it and he is young.

[BONDFINESSE 007]

ITS GOING TO BE REAL HARD TO FIND SOMEONE AFTER PIERCE, AND I AM GLAD I AM NOT THE ONE WHO HAS TO DO IT, I WOULD NOT WANT THE PRESSURE......CAUSE AFTER PIERCE ITS ALL A STEP DOWN FROM THAT POINT ON. BROSNAN, THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY JAMES BOND
