What do we think about the sweet Orlando Bloom being the new James Bond?
Hmm....I don´t know about this....  |

I had heard Orlando was being considered for an outshoot of the current Bond franchise where he would play the younger version of Bond, while the older Bond aka Pierce Bronson (or his replacement) would still continue in his own set of movies. I think Orlando could bring the right mix of charm, humor and physical agility needed for the role. Oh, and he's easy on the eyes as well  But seriously, I could see Orlando growing into the role which is what the owners of the franchise want to have with an actor. They know that the fangirls of today who will go to see OB will be around 20 years from now to see their hottie in the umpteenth Bond movie. Brilliant marketing strategy imho.

I agree with Sind, that news was all over the net last week. Nevertheless, this weeks talk is that Pierce is leaving the new Bond movie and coming on strong as his succesor is hunky Eric Bana ... any thoughts?

Part of my prejudice is probably the fact I hate James Bond (dont tell hubby - response is not good)
I've never liked any of the movies, and especially the last few. Wee Orli is entirely too good for a role like that.

I can see Orlando as a young Bond ... but other than that ... what is he? 27? And he still looks like a teen ... I just don't see him playing "manly man Bond." As BB, the thought of it makes me ...
Besides, after Sean Connery ... sorry, but no one works .

Those are pretty much the only ones I watch ... hubby is a big Bond fan, but I only watch when it is Connery playing Bond ...
He really spoiled the whole Bond concept for me ... if it's not Connery, it's not Bond  .
I just cannot see Orlando saying: "My name is Bond. James Bond."
Although ... Doesn't Orlando always get the cheesy lines, anyways? Only Connery has the charisma to pull that one off !

Many names have been passed around and toss over to play this role. Bloom, Ledger, Law, and many more. My vote after seeing him in Troy would be for Bana.
He has the body and the skills to pull off Bond. The others IMO are to skinny and young to pull off the part. |

I have to agree with the Bana fans out there. He would be a good pick for Bond. I wasn't a big fan of his, but after Troy

Eric Bana has a jaw, just not much chin!
Bloom as Bond, Please God, make him see what a bad move that would be....Bond girl fiasco vision....and 007 has just about no life left! Rather see him in some baseball movie, or football (soccer)
Tight pants or knees! |

The news in the UK is that Pierce Broson has said he's taking no further part in the franchise and that Eric Bana has agreed to play Bond in any future films.
I'm just remembering the last Australian that played Bond
