Young James Bond to Bloom?
Posted on Sun, 27-Mar-2005
According to Sky, Orlando Bloom may indeed be wetting his lips with a couple of Vodka Martini's in the near future.
Bloom has long been linked to a new 'Young 007' film series - based on a series of books currently at the presses - but has been about as vocal as a feline with laryngitis about the project.
Now, he confirms there is some talk.
"I love the idea, in principle, as he can be far more adventurous and do more stunts. This is as near as I think I will get to playing the grown up James for the next 20 years", Bloom tells the site.
The first Young 007 novel, "Silverfin", is also the film they look like tackling first. Set in the 1930s, it follows the young Bond from school at Eton to his uncle’s house in the west Highlands, where Bond stumbles upon a megalo maniac American laird and sinister genetic experiments with killer eels.
A few studios are said to be fighting over the film rights to the books - with Miramax the rumoured lead contender.
For some reason I get chills just thinking about Orlando as a young sexy Bond.  |

I also heard rumours like this. There was a "Young Indiana Jones" spinoff some years ago, too.
Another rumour: The (once stand-up comic) Aussie hunk Eric Bana (Hector in Troy) will be the new "regular" Bond. Correct me if I am wrong on this. 
Why is it that beautiful cinema hunks get their start going for laughs?

Tex and Yavanie:
I can't recall where I read this rumour on Mr. Bana (MSN news?) but I guess they are grooming someone to take from Pierce Brosnan.

Troy's Eric Bana to play Bond
August 02, 2004 14:56 IST
After he starred in the flop The Hulk last year Eric Bana's career was being given the thumbs down.
Then came Troy and the critics said his performance as Hector was the only thing good about the film.
Now comes news that the Australian actor -- who began his career as a comic on Aussie television -- may be the next 007.
Pierce Brosnan, the Irish heart-throb who made the role all his own this last decade, gave up his license to kill last week.
The folks behind the Bond franchise now want someone suitably modern for the 21st film in the series.
British tabloids say the Bond producers want to 'modernise Bond and turn him into a youthful, suave and modern hero to compete with the likes of Spider-Man and Keanu [Reeves] in The Matrix.'
Bana -- who has played an American soldier (Blackhawk Down), a superhero (The Hulk) and a hero (Troy) in his last three films -- is said to be well ahead of his closest rivals, Britons Jude Law, Ewan McGregor and Orlando Bloom (his co-star in Blackhawk Down and Troy) and fellow Aussie Heath Ledger in the race to play James Bond.
But Aussies and 007 have not had good karma.
The last Aussie to play Bond -- the brawny George Lazenby -- made just one 007 flick, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, after Sean Connery gave up the part. The franchise soon reverted to another Briton, Roger Moore

BTW, the lovely Mr. Parker had his start in comedy, too, and anyone who has seen him at LOTR gatherings, I am told, has tears in their eyes because he is still so funny! 
Both Bana and Parker are from Down Under, BTW...

| The Eric Bana rumor was going around last fall. But Bana said he had never been talked to about taking over the role. The new rumor on the older Bond is Aussie Julian McMinnan(sp). The Nip/Tuck and Charmed actor. I just don't see it, but ok. |
