Ok, most people are talking about the obvious choices to play 007:
Clive Owen, Jeremy Northam, but apart from the obvious choices, I have to throw in some left field choices to hear your opinions.

I know its not gonna happen but:

James Purefoy (Resident Evil, a bit rough i know, but he has the hard edge of Fleming's Bond like Dalton)

Clive Robertson (Sunset Beach, a little too unknown, he has only ever done one film, but i think he could make an all-rounder like Brosnan)

Jude Law (Talented Mr. Ripley, a bit of a doe eyed Brit packer, maybe a bit too feminine, a little too good an actor?)

Well thats all i can think of, i know it aint gonna happen, maybe if EON hit their head before the contract signing........

I've seen Purefoy touted before. I think Eon have tested him.
I think he certainly has potential after seeing him in A Dance to the Music of Time.

Jude Law is, I feel, too pretty and too physically slight.

In Australia, Clive Robertson is the name of a middle-aged and curmugeonly radio personality. Don't s'pose it's the same chap.
