Scottish is British. I hadn't thought about South African but I'd struggle to think of a South African actor.

Scottish isn't British, its part of England but its not British.

No, you are getting mixed up. Great Britain is made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

I know this because I am British. I was born in Wales, my father is Scottish and I live in England.

No Pierce Brosnan option?

Somebody wants to be Bond...

I enjoyed this assessment of potential Bonds. The Owenites will note he gave Owen the best overall score whereas the Jackmanites will note that Jackman had the best individual scores but had points deducted for nationality.

Well I live in England as well, aren't you British if you live in Britain, Welsh if you live in Wales, Irish if you live in Ireland and Scottish if you live in Scotland. Otherwise by judging by your opinion, Irish is the same British as well. The only similar thing between all these people is that their are all part of England which makes them all English. You can't call them British cause they are not all British.

Prav_007, how is Scotland part of England? You seem to be getting "English" and "British" the wrong way round.

[royalmile]

Yes, England is part of Great Britain (as are Scotland & Wales which, along with Northern Ireland, make up the UK). Britain is not part of England. That's like saying Spain is part of Catalonia, or the USA is part of Texas!
It's truly amazing how often this subject comes up!

If you like, go & call Sir Sean Connery an Englishman to his face - and see what happens!

[Prav_007]

I apologize for the mass confusion I possess and as well lack of knowlegde. Also apologies to Daltonfan, end this thing for once!!

[Daltonfan]

No problem. It's just an area where we non-english Brits are bit sensitive.

OK here is my collage.

I know I forgot Daniel Craig. And I know some of these guys aren't really good candidates, I just wanted to fill up all the space.

Nice collage!

Really well put together.

I still say Butler shines out among the candidates, mind you!
But Scott, Purefoy, McMahon and Paul look like they could stare out from a "007" poster quite effectively too. No Guy Pearce, though?

In looking at that, I'm realizing that one thing that makes the visual "Bond" difference to me is the mouth. McLusky's drawings capture the right Bond look IMO. I just couldn't trust a Bond with the wrong kind of mouth! I think it's part of the reason why Robbie Williams, Jason Isaacs, clive Owen and Jack Davenport are so "Un-Bondian" to me. Take a look at Hoagy Carmichael and Horak's Bond, too. To me it just seems a big part of representing who Bond is. I think it may be partly why Connery captured it so well, too; there is a certain look that cinematically encapsulates the "Bond character" and without it something is lost.
Apologies if this is rambling or vague, but it's just something that struck me as I was looking at the candidates - as I say, I think it may have something to do with who does and who doesn't look a viable James Bond to me.

Again, good job on the collage!

Looks nice. And it doesn't look like Craig is in anyway for the role now, so...

[Tarl_Cabot]

I think it's going to be Ioan Gruffolds or Christian Bale now. Just a feeling due to the youngish Bond concept they seem to be pursuing.

[KB 007]

As I was looking for pictures I found two pictures of Geoffrey Moore that I've never seen before. He looks pretty Bondian if you ask me. Maybe I should watch those old movies he was in.

The name's Bond, Miss Bond Actress Famke Janssen asks why the next 007 must be a man. “It is 2005, anything can happen. I think even James Bond being black is a great idea. I think James Bond could be a woman at this point,” she says. But according to the rumour mill, Janssen might be disappointed, and Daniel Craig may be donning the tuxedo instead. Janssen, of course, is already known to Bond fans as Xenia Onatopp, who crushed her victims between her thighs in Golden Eye.

Female Bond?

Female xXx?

OK then, how about....

JERI RYAN IS Jane Borg 007 of 9 in THE UNIVERSE IS NOT ENOUGH

[Skudor]

I'd go and see it

[Forever007]

I sincerely hope that the New York Post article claiming Pierce Brosnan will return as Bond is not true. He will be 53 years old when he films Casino Royale which is far too old for Bond period, much less the story of CR which is in Bond's early years. I find this news to be very dissapointing as Brosnan has been plain flat in every film since Goldenye. His worst film by far was The World is Not Enough which was the last time he, Purvis and Wade did a more serious film. I'm certain the legions of Brosnan fans will jump for joy when reading the NY Post article, but this fan will see it for what it is, plain mediocrity.

I wouldn't take Dench too seriously. She's not a part of the production team, so all she's likely to know at this point (if anything at all!) is if she'll be in it. She will have nothing to do with the decision regarding who will play Bond.

Putting aside the whole concept of the movie, which favours a new and younger actor, and the fact that an Eon spokesperson was quoted on the BBC as saying that they haven't picked their Bond yet, but it won't be Brosnan (and this is a lot to put aside) it is entirely possible that this whole 'finding a new Bond' business is just a negotiation ploy to bring Brozza's price down. I don't think so - but neither would I put it past Eon to re-employ him if all else fails.

Somebody that was mentioned back in 2002 in article by Stax was actor Simon Baker from the Guardian tv show. He might make an interesting choice and is someone people haven't talked about very much:

[royalmile]

I think I've seen him before.
Has he been in anything else?

[Stephenson]

Not that I know of: I never even really watched The Guardian, although it received fairly good reviews. I just saw his name in the 2002 article, checked him out and thought, "Hey, he looks kinda cool."

[KB 007]

Has anyone seen the movie Alexander? What did you think of actor Gary Stretch? He used to be a model, now he's an actor and he's had some favorable reviews. He's a 36 year old English guy with black hair so I thought I would ask about him.

Here are a couple pictures.

He was also the young gay guy who got murdered in L.A. CONFIDENTIAL.

[royalmile]

Ah, thanks! I just watched that very recently. That's why his face rang a bell! Good movie, too. I thought Guy Pearce was excellent in it, particularly. I still think he could be a very good Bond, given the chance............

[Blofeld's Cat]

I watch LAC (Lots of Aussies Confidential) quite regularly too, and Pearce has being touted as a possible Bond before.
