Over a few too many beers, a year or so ago, a few of us had Clive Owen as our preffered candidate.

If the producers are finally going to do it properly again it would be good to see an Englishman get the job for a change (Roger Moore was a joke and David Niven was supposed to be) . He could certainly do the job playing 'Bond' as per the Fleming character but I fear that they'll end up getting some pretty boy/ action dooofus in.

As a gambler, if I could find anything a bit more generous than 4's or more on Clive Owen I'd take it. He's got a few films coming out soon, some of which have got some 'action' to them - something I've never seen him do in films. If he carries that off and if the producers want to rejuvinate the franchise and have a Bond who can bring a bit of subtle menace and coldness to the roll it's got to be Owen.

If it is, we have a chance of getting the best 'Bond' film since the golden age of Connery.

I voted Robbie Williams, cos he could do the theme song as well.

I also voted Robbie so as to annoy Chappers.

I think the Bond 'franchise' relies heavily on Americans going out to see the films. Jude Law is getting pretty damn popular in the US.

Orlando Bloon and Russell Crowe are US household names also...

I think Greg Wise has the look. Maybe Christian Bale in 10 years' time.

Clive Owen is a WOODEN actor. Did you see him in Croupier? Oh my GOD :nono:
