Like I said, I´m not so sure how this will turn out....
I don´t know what emoticon to use.  or  |
He hasn't accepted the role. Nobody has. It was said just yesterday that Bana was in the talks for the role. Bana's name has come up before. Now it is saying that was just a rumor.
The role has not been cast as of yet.
Eric Bana is Not the Next 007
Source: Coming Soon! Monday, August 2, 2004
ComingSoon.net has confirmed that The Hulk and Troy star Eric Bana has not been cast as James Bond in MGM's and Eon Productions' 21st film in the popular franchise, despite the rumors.
UK tabloid News of the World said the actor was negotiating with the series producers and that he would take over the role from Pierce Brosnan and begin filming later this year. "Eric is the guy they want but he has a reputation for being demanding," an "insider" said. News of the World went on to say that "they 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."
This story was picked up by numerous news outlets, including worldwide news agency AFP. But we have learned that Bana has not even been approached for the role of 007.
Brosnan told Entertainment Weekly last week that he was done with the franchise after four films. "I've said all I've got to say on the world of James Bond. Bond is another lifetime, behind me." Speculation has it, however, that Brosnan has simply started the negotiation process in the media, and may still be in the picture after all.
In related news, Variety reported yesterday that "James Bond 21" is being set up to start shooting before March in order to be released on November 18, 2005. The film's producers have agreed on a plot and writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who wrote the last two Bond pics, turned in the first draft of their script last week. |

| Aha! I see....well, it did say in the paper this morning that Orlando will be Bond himself in the upcoming James Bond-movie. He will play a young Bond during his education. |

Phew... thats a load off my mind.
I wonder if we could all band together and write threatening notes to whomever is in charge of casting. Then send some more purfume-laden ones to Orli politely pleading that he not accept.

Sign me up, I can write devilishly nasty letters, I got three months of free cable tv. I can be very persuasive! 
If he is only doing a cameo or something, that is ok, they would get a lot of DVD rentals from girlies like me who would rent the movie, go to the scene, and then promptly return the DVD as to avoid late fees!

I managed to convince them to give me a year full of AOL because I couldn't understand the Indian sales clerk.

And I would add that right now every action role with cheesy lines is being offered to Bloom first ... and I think it's just plain sad  .
When I first saw him in Fellowship I thought he had a lot of potential (regardless of looks)... I don't know what to think anymore. I do think he has it in him ... he just hasn't found his style yet.

Ever seen this pic?
http://kasmir.hugi.is/kasmir/umsjon/synamynd.php3?kt=211268-5819&myndnafn=leggybond007.jpg
*shudder*
BTW the other Australian guy who has played James Bond is called George Lazenby.
I myself am not a huge Bond fan; I have only so far seen 4 Sean Connery movies (Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger and Thunderball), The Living Daylights (w. Timothy Dalton) and Goldeneye (w. Pierce Brosnan). That's all so far... |

I don't think that POTC was all that bad for him. I must admit that the role of Paris I was very disspointed in. When he went crawling on his hands and knees back to Hector. I was like no!!
I can't wait for Kingdom of Heaven and Elizabethtown. Also POTC 2 and 3. |

Really? I spewed pop all over the person in front of me's hair. I found Paris's crawling inexpicably funny. Of course, the little teeny-bopping Orli-groupies behind me made it a point to kick my chair... hard... and frequently.
Orli was the embodiment of Paris's youthful enthusiasm and optimism, especially where his 'living off the land' skills were concerned. I give him credit for that. The melodrama and detachment from what reality really is was pulled off perfectly. I don't think he'll ever have a more appropriote role.

I wanted to hide under my chair at some points while watching PotC. I just felt horrible for him ... and that hat that they made him wear at the end ...  ...

I am sad to say that when I see him I always see him as Legolas. I don't see Legolas on his hands and knees running back to his brother for protection.
That scene and the one of Paris shooting the bow and arrows at night just caught me funny. I do have to agree. I rolled with both scenes. |

I liked PotC. None of the Captain Obvious crap.
I refuse to let him become Keanu Reves.
He just needs to get his style down, and hopefully Kingdom of Heaven, and E-town will prove him the actor we all want him to be.
In Troy, I was kept thinking "just give the guy a bow" and then, they did and I as well spit Diet Pepsi at the person in the row ahead of me...then I kept choking...
Teenie Boppers, they have gotten ruder since I was one. Tho, I was not such a movie buff back then. |

LOL OH that hat! I had forgot that hat. Your right! It was bad so bad.
There is a fan fic on here that takes place with the fellowship coming to modern day time. The girl in the fic takes the fellowship to see POTC also has Legolas dealing with Fan girls. I don't know the name of the fic, but that chapter of it was so funny. The way it shows Legolas reaction to seeing himself on the screen. I laughed until I cried. |

Yes... good lord, I want to shred that hat every time...
But perhaps it was supposed to look gaudy?
