CULTURE: New James Bond Film Lacks A 007

Face it, if you're a bloke, there's a part of you that wants to be James Bond, and if you're a lass, there's part of you that craves 007 himself. If this is you, do you fancy auditioning? The producers of the new film are getting desperate.

Clive Owen had been touted for the role, but he rejected the offer, saying that James Bond was dated. Jason Statham (Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels) thinks he'd "add a new, modern feel to it, definitely."

Personally, I'd pay good money to see Eddie Izzard as the next James Bond after he didn't get the Doctor Who gig...

So is this a remake of the previous casino royale or what?

Mister Bond, I leave you with a choice. Your very life is in your hands: Cake, or Death?

Eddie as James Bond on a vespa..

"Varoooooooom...Ciao...Varooooom. Fuck off, I'm James Bond"

Clive Owen rejected it? Too bad, he was fantastic in Sin City and Closer. He'd make a great Bond.

i should be the next 007.

Since, by the law of remakes, a Casino Royale remake will be much, much shittier, they should find an American to play Bond.

You know having a woman play 007 wouldn't be a half bad idea. I mean if even Clive Owen thinks that James Bond is dated, why not add some kind of sexy twist. I mean it is the 00s maybe James had a sex change!

I think Jason Statham would make a good Bond.

hey

whats george lazenby up to at teh moment

technically... the original Casino Royal was not even a Bond film. Have any of you even watched it? it is a comedy!

Just offer the role to Julian McMahon and get it over with already.

Izzard as Bond would be great. If only to see the Jam Trousers get some screen time

What we really need is a bisexual James Bond.

BRING BACK SEAN!!!!!!!

I always thought they should try remaking the style of older bond movies. Older cars, gadgets, hair and clothing styles. Bond belongs in the cold war

Oh my

They should do that as a TV series, it would have the potential to be absolutely brilliant. So much better than Young Indiana Jones and all that other tosh. Espionage never tasted so good outside of the ColdWar.

Sir, you should be in the Honours list for the mere suggestion.


I used to like Owen but he was shockingly bad in the dreadful SinCity but I've never seen him as Bond.

As opposed to all of those deadly serious 'real' Bond films? It was one of the better ones made by Connery, so in my book, it counts. Remaking it now lends it the original a bit of legitimacy, doesn't it?

I think we're all just waiting to hear that Keanu got the role.

Connery wasn't in Casino, Peter Sellers and David Niven were. It is a bad movie.

Bisexual?!
With Clive Owen turning down the role, there's only one other dude suave enough to pull off James Bond...

Rupert Everett

Please never. Love him dearly, but dry, dapper, rougish and witty the boy is not.

Hollywood paging Scopitone... Hollywood paging Scopitone...

I guess I haven't seen it in far too long if I honestly mistook Peter Sellers for Sean Connery. Off to the video store.

Eddie Izzard all the way! or Billy Connolly would be awesome
