Bookmakers William Hill have released the odds of who will be the next “James Bond” following Pierce Bronson departure. Topping the list: Ewan McGregor, Dougray Scott, Colin Farrell, and Hugh Jackman.

Also, Eminem’s chances of being Bond: 100/1.

*pinches area between eyes in disgust

Ewan McGregor is a little boy.

am i the only one who would like to see them break tradition and give someone like antonio banderas the role?
is that wrong?

If it's not Clive Owen, I'll be disappointed.

Ewan McGregor is too young, Colin Farrel is more of a bond villan, as for the other two im not sure they have that bond touch......i hate to say it but i think Cloony should be given a go, he did ok playing the playboy in batman and he was great in oceans 11 but thats just my opinion

ewan could pull it off with some pretty massive storyline changes. he'd make a perfect bond-in-training.

And William Hill are also saying that (now disagraced) fop MP Boris Johnson of 500-1. I'd take that bet.

Well since the only actor I don't recognize is Dougray Scott, my money's on him.

Hugh Jackman? As Bond?
*spooge*

The rest are either too young, too rough, or just not sexy enough.
Connery was still the best..sighhhhh....

wolverine can't be bond.

my first thought was jackman, as well, reading that list. he has range, sex and style. he could pull of the Connery-style Bond that i preferred.. one that has more than cardboard depth & a natural-feeling refined + used to the job personality.

..more than can be said for Pierce Bronson's (sp?) portrayal. man, was he flat as Bond.

Padawan-Bond?

I would really like to see Clive Owen be Bond.

Has to be clive owen. He was great in the BMW short movies. He was a driver for people (read high speed, get-a-way type of thing) and was basically a bond character

no, the best choice.

johnny lee miller

sickboy as bond!

yup

he's a british spy, so he has to be british, look at teh one george lasanby film

can you imagin, it has to be a british actor, i think Colin Farrell whould be best, he's not to high profile like Ewan McGregor, you'd watch him thinking bond you'd watch Ewan thinking Trainspotting

I say give it to Johnny Depp. Sure, he may not fit the part at all, but the man's played Hunter S. Thompson, a pirate, and now Willy Wonka. The man can be whoever the fuck he wants.

In fact, fuck convention, Johnny Depp needs to play 007, aaaand the villain. Also moneypenny.

i second that

AHHnold Schwartzenegger...


imagine him saying " shaken ..not stiired"

Id piss myself

I agree, I think Clooney would be a good choice. When Fleming was writing Bond, he imagined Cary Grant. Clooney has a lot of Grant's charm ( and pulls what seems to be an uncanny Grant in "Intolerable Cruelty" ). He also has a dark edge when he wants to bring it out, as in "The Peacemaker."

I'd pay to see Boris Johnson,l I love that guy. BORIS FOR KING! he'd massacre the roll of bond, but 22 odd films is enough anyway...

Just stop making Bond films please....

Just stop. They're two hour long shitty commercials for every car, soda, watch, electric razor, airline, alcohol or makeup they can cram into them.

Move on.

I think I read somewhere that Colin Farrell is on record saying he would NOT be interested in playing James Bond.

However, I would pay good money to see WILL FERRELL as Bond.

Im with you guys. He has the right persona for it, the others on that list just dont
feel like a Bond.
