Who should be the next James Bond? - Page 7

LONDON (Reuters) - Bookmakers have halved the odds on Clive Owen becoming the next James Bond after he won a Golden Globe award for his role in the sex drama "Closer."

Bookmaker William Hill also made Owen 6-4 favourite to land the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for Closer at next month's Hollywood ceremony.

"Since winning the Golden Globe, we have had a succession of calls from punters who think he would make an excellent Bond," said a spokesman on Tuesday.

Owen is now priced at 4-1 from 8-1.

But "Van Helsing" actor Hugh Jackman is still 2-1 favourite to take over from Pierce Brosnan and land the coveted role of the world's most famous spy. Second favourite at 7-2 is Ewan McGregor.

BRAD PITTTTTT

I know, I'm a straight male, but either way, that boy is hot as a hair straightener....

U2democrat · 08-06-2005, 03:54 PM

yes...just how handsome and charming are you? will you be able to make us ladies swoon?

Angela Harlem · 08-07-2005, 04:14 AM

Brad Pitt isn't British.

Palace_Hero · 08-07-2005, 05:57 AM

Does it matter? With writing like the last 3 Bond movies, whoever plays the part would be doing so in an exceptionally bad movie.

Ewan McGregor would be my choice, however.

U2democrat · 08-07-2005, 03:20 PM

Ewan McGregor seems a bit too boyish...we need someone more manly.

Palace_Hero · 08-07-2005, 08:03 PM

I suggest me then.

elisa519_U2adik · 08-07-2005, 08:16 PM

Hugh Jackman.. He's a great actor, im sure he can do James Bond. My other choices are Ioan Gruffud Jude Law and Ewan McGregor. I don't like Colin Farell as a bond, as well as Gerard Butler and Clive Owen.

It certainly does matter. To Bond purists, at least. Christ, that sounds wanky. Sorry, but that's how it goes. These movies are a theme, a cult, a group, not to be looked at wholly as specific individual movies. There cannot be an American Bond. It would be a travesty. He must be British, or nothing at all.

BrownEyedBoy · 08-08-2005, 09:46 AM

I don't like either Ewan, or Clive or Hugh. None of those. Keep looking.

I don't think it matters at all if the movies continue to be such pathetic nonsense.

I love a good Bond, but I'm not so much of an idiot to be a fan of the crap they make now.

Hayden Christensen for Bond, he'll make the writing look good next to the acting atleast..
