Orlando Bloom to play the new James Bond.

However, the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' heartthrob will not be replacing Pierce Brosnan as 007 - instead he will star in a movie about the suave spy's younger days.

A source at Hollywood studios Miramax, who are making the film, revealed: "The story that Orlando will play Bond is true but we are doing a rather novel film about the young James Bond.

"The author, Ian Fleming, never really got into this period of his character 's life, but he did mention in 'You Only Live Twice' that Bond attended Fettes College, having been expelled from Eton.

Charlie Higson, who is writing the screenplay, has woven a wonderful tale around this." Miramax believe Orlando - who was recently tipped to take over from Pierce Brosnan in the regular Bond films - will be perfect for the role.

The source told Britain's Sunday Telegraph newspaper: "Orlando's got the sort of face that makes him look believable for that whole period in Bond's life."

The movie is also set to show Bond's notorious womanising started at a young age.

The insider added: "There will be a lot of that sort of thing".

Heaven help us.

But Gerard still has a chance then.....right? Because it says he's not replacing Brosnan as Bond......

ewen · 01-10-2005, 11:58 AM

The Orlando Bloom thing is a spin-off type Bond movie, not an official Bond movie U2dem.....just like Never Say Never Again or to a lesser degree, far lesser degree, Casino Royale.

ok, phew, thanks for the reassurance. i was about to have a panic attack in the middle of my environmental science class!!!!!

(i'm home now)

eyecandy · 01-15-2005, 11:28 AM

Sean Bean!! If you don't know who he is - do a Google search. He's blond and sexy, perfect for 007.

U2democrat · 01-15-2005, 11:34 AM

He's already been a super-villan and was killed in goldeneye, he can't be james bond.

wolfeden · 01-15-2005, 11:50 AM

Cary Elwes? He too old now?

while we're on the Sean Bean thing...VIGGO! *cough* okaynevermind....

I really could see Ewan pulling it off, I'd just worry about him getting 'overexposed' thus bad press tho.

U2democrat · 01-15-2005, 11:53 AM

ewan mcgregor?

i can't really picture him as bond.

and why is it taking people so long to make up their minds?

eyecandy · 01-15-2005, 11:55 AM

U2democrat, he could come back as a ghost or from the dead! They do that all the time in movies, don't they?

ewen · 01-15-2005, 11:58 AM

I don't know about Ewan MacGregor plaing Bond, I personally can't see it somehow, but that Gerard guy has got a bit of the young Connery look to him. Haven't seen any of Butler's movies though, as far as I'm aware.

They'll go for someone less well known as they've always done to make the role more 'believable'....if that's possible with James Bond movies being a bit over-the-top to say the least....reason in a way we love them i guess.

U2democrat · 01-15-2005, 12:15 PM

I still dont understand why its taking so long for the 'proper authorities' to decide on a new bond.

A_Wanderer · 01-15-2005, 05:46 PM

I think that they are busy working on the ouija board over Broccolis grave.

U2democrat · 01-15-2005, 06:33 PM

that's a good one.

trevster2k · 01-15-2005, 08:19 PM

I don't know who the next Bond should be but I would like to see Sean Connery playing a Bond villain,

It would be so crazy.

As far as I can tell, the Timothy Dalton Bond is the closest to Ian Flemming's Bond as there has been.
