The Next James Bond Rant

Okay, this game of "Tag: The Next James Bond Edition" is getting tiresome. Let’s reiterate the long line of would-be James Bonds for the remake of Casino Royale. Rumours flew that the coveted role would go to Ewan McGregor or Jude Law (okay, I think I just had an orgasm) then the likely contenders Eric Bana (The Hulk) and Clive Owen (Closer) stepped up to the plate. Though the Bana candidate quickly slipped away, Owen’s name stayed strong. Other names that popped up were Colin Farrell and Hugh Jackman, which means if you remotely have an accent that isn’t American, you’re a shoo-in.

Along with Clive Owen’s vote, another name is staying strong - Daniel Craig. A virtual no name but hey like I said, he has an accent.

While this jumble for 007 was occurring, rumours arose that Orlando Bloom would play a young James Bond, the College years (okay, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.)

Other rumours that surfaced were an American James Bond (next!), a female James Bond (but who would she womanize at the beginning and the middle of the movie?), and a spin-off starring Halle Berry reprising her role as Jinx (okay, I think I just threw up again.)

And in all this, Pierce Brosnan might just forget all this craziness and return to his trusty Walther PPK. Much ado about nothing!
