I think that anywhere in the anglosphere would work, they need to get a decent actor and a script that works well with them.

I personally think that because their do Casino Royale then they could make a book accurate version ~ a reboot.

I was just watching DS9 and they had the episode "Our Man Bashir", I found it a bit more enjoyable than some of the more recent Bond outings ~ Alexander Siddiq for Bond.

He's dark and handsome, he's british, and it's about time we had a gay Bond. :up:

How about sticking to the storyline and using a pom, seeing as James Bond is British?

:scratch: Does he have to be British? Perhaps he could just be a very good actor, that could fake the accent really well.:shrug:

The character IS British. So, yeah, I'd say so.
:slant:

But if the actor "looks the part and can do an excellent British accent then why can't he be form: For exsample Ireland or Australia? I guess if it was up to you then every single role would have to be the exact match. No one from Spain could portray a person from Mexico or no one from Texas could play a person from New York????:shame:
 
Latest news, Pierce is out :sigh:
Pierce Brosnan's done with Bond
Fifth 007's services no longer required, he's told

NEW YORK (AP) -- A single, surprising phone call and it was over. That's how Pierce Brosnan says he learned that his services as James Bond would no longer be required.

"One phone call, that's all it took!" the 52-year-old actor tells Entertainment Weekly magazine in its August 19 issue.

Brosnan starred in four Bond films. He says that before they stopped negotiations, the producers had invited him back for a fifth time.

"You know, the movie career for me really started with Bond," says Brosnan, acknowledging that by the time "GoldenEye" premiered in 1995, he was already 42.

He then starred as 007 in "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997), "The World Is Not Enough" (1999) and "Die Another Day" (2002).

His departure from the role was a "titanic jolt to the system," says Brosnan, followed by "a great sense of calm."

"I thought. ... I can do anything I want to do now. I'm not beholden to them or anyone. I'm not shackled by some contracted image. So there was a sense of liberation."

Brosnan says he's grateful to have had the role, but adds: "It never felt real to me. I never felt I had complete ownership over Bond. Because you'd have these stupid one-liners -- which I loathed -- and I always felt phony doing them."

He plays a foulmouthed, skirt-chasing hit man in the upcoming film "The Matador."

"(For this) to come on the heels of my departure from the world of Bond is sweet grace, to play this one as a farewell to that chapter in time -- it certainly wasn't planned."

I don't know who it should be now, but eventually it will be Orlando Bloom.
